Hey Secretary of Education Linda McMahon:

I believe every child deserves excellent, fully-funded schools—welcoming, safe spaces to learn and grow with teachers and programs that help them thrive and prepare them for the future.

Therefore, I DO NOT grant you permission to:

❌ Cut school budgets or divert public money to private schools

❌ Cut special education while pushing families to private schools that reject students with disabilities

❌ Profit off our schools or sell student data

❌ Ban honest history or censor what students learn about our diverse country

❌ Target students based on who they are, or defund programs supporting Black students, immigrant students, students with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ students

❌ Militarize or raid our schools with ICE agents or treat children like threats

❌ Restrict our voices and our votes in our schools and communities

Unlike you, I will work to protect and strengthen public schools for every child.

Signed,
