President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are spending their 4th of July afternoon with the National Education Association (NEA), America’s largest teachers’ union. Biden will be addressing the NEA at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, located next to the White House.
Engaging with Educators
The event, scheduled to begin at 12:15 PM Eastern, can be watched via livestream here.
The NEA recently concluded their 102nd representative assembly, where president Becky Pringle made headlines with her passionate speech. She referred to Florida as “our nation’s Ground Zero for shameful, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic rhetoric and dangerous actions.”
Pringle continued, emphasizing the need to address inequity in the country’s social systems. She also mentioned recent Supreme Court decisions regarding race-based admissions at universities. Pringle urged everyone to raise their voices and stand against arming teachers, shrinking students’ curriculum, and leaving them unprepared to lead a just society.
Controversies and Criticisms
The NEA has faced heavy criticism from conservatives and parents across the country. Some of the issues raised include the promotion of critical race theory, prolonged school lockdowns, and more.
