Action Alert: Stop Senate Bill 8!

Senate Bill 8 is still rolling around the special session on Texas education funding.  Its purpose is to gut class-size limits and contract protections for teachers in order to provide "flexibility" to school districts to "save money".  

Do you want your kid's school district to have the "flexibility" to pack 40+ kids into the classroom like sardines?  I certainly don't.

Also, will it really save money when teachers have to sue school districts that choose to fire them for getting pregnant or marrying someone of whom the district does not approve instead of having reasonable contract protections and a reasonable arbitration process in place?  I assure you - it will not.


Please contact your state senator and state representative and ask them to oppose Senate Bill 8.  You can leave a detailed message on the weekend - don't wait!
