Every child deserves an inclusive education. Let’s create schools where ALL kids belong and thrive.

All children deserve safe, welcoming schools that support and challenge them to develop their unique potential. The great majority of parents, teachers and students agree—education should expand what students learn, not limit it. This includes celebrating the diversity that exists in our learning communities. Gender, race, socio-economic status, ability, language, religion, sexual orientation and all of the combinations of those aspects of our identity are our strength.

Unfortunately, we are at a place where many leaders ignore their constituents and de-professionalize the teachers they hire. Instead, there is a focus on one-sided, divisive, restrictive policies that limit children's potential, hurt staff morale, anger parents, and seek to weaken public education.

We reject the notion that our schools ought to indoctrinate students into a narrow view of history. We embrace telling kids the truth about our nation, about our history, and about our relationships and responsibilities to one another. Only by coming together as a community and telling the whole truth can we hope to prepare our kids for the future they deserve.

We Believe in Welcoming and Inclusive Schools for Everyone.

  • Welcoming

    Every child in this community needs and deserves to feel welcome, supported, and academically challenged at their school.

    We must unite as a community to support our schools, forgo the incitement of fear and mistrust, and work together respectfully so the schools can cohere as vibrant learning communities.

  • Inclusive

    Every child deserves a thorough, fact-based education that looks squarely at our nation’s triumphs and failures as we strive to fulfill the promise of our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.

    Every child has the right to choose their own books for independent reading, according to their values and interests, their family’s guidance, and their teachers’ and librarians’ suggestions and assignments.

  • Schools

    Every child stands to benefit from an education that includes a focus on social and emotional well-being, including treating others as one would wish to be treated.

    Teachers and librarians are professionals with our children’s best interests at heart, who seek to foster the highest potential of all our students.

  • For Everyone

    Every child is equal in value and importance to our community.

    It is a point of pride that, as Americans, we celebrate the full diversity of ethnicity, race, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability, medical status, socioeconomic status, and political affiliation that our nation and community comprise. E pluribus unum.
