After 3 great days of learning, rallying, and celebrating, #CFTConv23 has come to a close! Thanks to all the delegates who carried out the democratic work of our union this weekend. Letβs keep fighting for our members, our communities, and for the schools our students deserve.
As I said at #CFTConv23, I know that FOX News hectors me daily because they want me to shut up. But this isn't about me. These attacks are part of a culture war to silence educators & undermine our ability to serve our students. https://t.co/LAEzmuwdmy
Had a great morning in San Francisco with @CFTunion members and leaders at the #CFTConv23! It was great to speak to everyone about the climate, the stakes, & what our members in California & the country, are doing to help families have a better life in the here and now.
On Day 3 of #CFTConv23, we honored our Legislators of the Year, @NancySkinnerCA and @RendonAD62, two fearless advocates for educators, classified professionals, and students.
Today at #CFTConv23, @rweingarten read from #bannedbook, Roberto Clemente: Pride of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In California, educators will continue to share stories with students that reflect the truth about our history and the diversity of our experiences.
Congratulations to @RendonAD62 @NancySkinnerCA for @CFTunion #CaLeg Legislators of the year! #CFTConv23
Elections matter. "As the other side is doing all of this, we have the most pro-labor, pro-public education we've ever had." - @rweingarten #CFTConv23
Think that we are exaggerating about the war on #women and #girls? Check this out: #GOP proposal to ban girls from talking about #menstruation in schools. @periodsupplies @periodmovement @CCSWG @CaWomensCaucus @nwlc #CFTConv23
First periods typically start between ages 10 and 15, but can begin as young as 9 years old. That means a student could likely be in third grade up to tenth grade, or later, when a period begins.

.@rweingarten shares with #CFTConv23 attendees that a book about Roberto Clemente is banned in Florida.
βThe culture war in education is about creating divisions,β says @rweingarten at #CFTConv23, because they are afraid of young people when they know the truth and get opportunity.
They want to disrupt. They want to create chaos. - @rweingarten on the right-wing attacks on public education
#CFTConv23
The research now shows that there was more learning loss of kids who went from public schools to voucher schools than there was in the pandemic. - @rweingarten #CFTConv23
.@rweingarten: Nurses don't want to see anymore posters calling them heroes. They want the respect to be shown in the contract, in the staff ratios. #CFTConv23
