📎 During the #AFTBookClub, AFT-Wisconsin Pres. Jon Shelton asked @rweingarten.bsky.social about her paper clip.
As she writes in Why Fascists Fear Teachers, the paper clip was a 1940s symbol of solidarity against fascism—showing we are bound together & never alone.

“You don’t have to solve every problem in the world.” That’s what @velshi.com told teachers tonight during the @aft.org #AFTBookClub. And he’s right. One act, one student, one moment, you never know the dream you’re planting in a child’s mind. That’s the power of public education.

Tonight, I had a fantastic conversation with former Vice President @kamalaharris.com for our #AFTBookClub. We talked about leadership, democracy and the work ahead. Her message to educators meant so much: “You are part of the conscience of America.”

Honored to be in the author seat for the #AFTBookClub to talk about my new book #WhyFascistsFearTeachers. I wrote it out of concern for the smears against educators, the rise of fascistic behavior & the need to support, rather than bash, teachers.

I was nervous to interview @velshi.com—he’s usually the one asking the questions! But tonight’s @aft.org #AFTBookClub was great. We talked about justice, idealism, and how his story shows what it means to stand up when it matters most. His book Small Acts of Courage is a must-read.
