Future of 55

A Political Action Committee made up of educators.

[Future of 55 @Futureof55]

In the battle for the future of public education, maybe the public needs a little education!

Perhaps we’re wrong to assume that you already know who groups like the Koch Network, State Policy Network, and ALEC are...

Who are they, and what do they want? (THREAD)

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

JUST IN: An arena in South Dakota is holding a “Dash for Cash” where teachers get on their knees and fight for one dollar bills that they can use for classroom supplies while spectators watch and cheer. (h/t @AnnieTodd96)

[Phil Kabler @PhilKabler]

Justice: "I doubt if there's ever been a governor who stood for education more than I."

BREAKING: The heart of Betsy DeVos now that she won’t be able to sabotage public education anymore.

[Future of 55 @Futureof55]

Tune in and listen to Petsonk, the guy who actually has a record of supporting public education, pummel Morrisey, the guy who loves Betsy DeVos.

[Shawn Fluharty @WVUFLU]

Whiny Pat Morrisey is getting absolutely slaughtered in this debate. He's lucky the thing is tucked away online. This needs to be seen by all West Virginians. @Sam4WV is earning your vote today.

[Future of 55 @Futureof55]

Schools are going to take a hit this year, probably in a lot of ways. Let’s make sure one of those hits isn’t an additional financial hit. Go vote in the Cabell county school bond special election TODAY!

[WV Federation of Democratic Women @WVFDW]

Asked why the public was not permitted in the boardroom, State school board President Miller Hall responded: “Why are we going to let 12 or 13 or 14 people come in there on top of each other, and someone tests positive?” #wv

Mothman Resort State Park

[Jay Sisson @jaysisson]

What started as a joke about replacing Confederate statues with statues of the Mothman led to me being quoted in this article about why the Mothman is such an icon to the people of West Virginia.

"It’s what teachers do—figure out how to McGyver a million-dollars education out of three paper clips and some toothpaste. But this time it’s different, because this time it will be a matter of life or death."

This video is the next best thing to belting out Country Roads with thousands of WV teachers.

[Chris Lawrence @WVOutdoors]

Possibly the best video I’ve seen showcasing our great state. A tip of the hat to producer Alex Wilson. #AlmostHeaven #ThePlaceIBelong https://t.co/8CmodWdNCx

[KY 120 United-AFT @120Strong]

[Future of 55 @Futureof55]

Well how could we not, he’s adorable

(and supports public schools too)

[Andrew Robinson @Robinson4WV]

Proud to announce @Futureof55 has endorsed the Andrew Robinson for Senate campaign!

[Future of 55 @Futureof55]

You’ve already gotten messages about Coronavirus from every company you’ve ever googled, so get ready for one from your friendly neighborhood teacher PAC!
Stay sane, fellow educators!

You guys shoulda just told ‘em it was an ALEC bill.... that bill would have broken the sound barrier on its way to the Senate floor!

[Bob Beach @BeachForWV]

Seriously?! WV Senate leadership decides to allow the House Insulin bill to die in Committee. Diabetes is the leading contributor to Kidney and Heart disease. Caps would potentially save an individual $10,000 annually.

[Future of 55 @Futureof55]

Hey @AFTWV @WVEAnews @CaucusWv this guy despises unions but still accidentally argues people should definitely join them

[Future of 55 @Futureof55]

Written by a teacher in Oklahoma who ran for office and won... but might as well be about West Virginia.
Worth the read!
