Maxwell Frost Takes Center Stage: Rep. Maxwell Frost will speak at the “Freedom to Learn” rally at the most significant annual NEA Today meeting in Orlando on Wednesday. The rally is in response to recent assaults on public education, such as efforts to ban books, restrict LGBTQ+ rights, and teach creationism in schools.
Frost, as a member of the House Education and Labour Committee, is a staunch supporter of public education. He has spoken out against privatisation and defunding of public education. He has also introduced legislation to preserve the right to education of students.
What Frost Said About Joining the NEA Meeting Today?
Frost stated in a statement, “I am honoured to participate in the NEA Today meeting and to advocate for public education. Our educational institutions are under attack, but we will not yield. We will fight to secure the right of our students to learn and ensure that all children have access to a quality education.”
Who Is Responsible for Organising the “Freedom to Learn” Rally?
The greatest teachers’ union in the United States, the National Education Association (NEA), is organising the “Freedom to Learn” rally. It is anticipated that thousands of educators from across the nation will attend the rally.
Who Will Be in Attendance at the Rally?
In addition to Frost, NEA President Becky Pringle, Florida NEA President Andrew Spar, and Florida State Senator Shevy Jones will speak at the rally.
The rally is a component of the NEA’s larger endeavour to defend public education. Additionally, the NEA has launched a campaign titled “Defend Public Education” to raise awareness of attacks on public education and mobilise educators to take action.
The “Freedom to Learn” rally serves as a reminder that the public education system is under assault. However, it also serves as a reminder that educators are fighting back. Together, we can defend public education and guarantee that every child has access to a quality education.
Attend the “Freedom to Learn” rally in Orlando on July 5 if you believe in public education.
You should contact your elected officials and urge them to support public education.
