San Antonio Educators Unite Against Federal Education Department Cuts

March 21, 2025 - 19:21

The Northside American Federation of Teachers and the San Antonio Alliance have expressed their firm resistance to the recent executive order aimed at dismantling the U.S. Department of Education. Educators across San Antonio are alarmed by the potential implications of this decision, which they argue could undermine public education and limit resources for students and teachers alike.

Union leaders emphasize that the Department of Education plays a crucial role in ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students. The proposed dismantling could jeopardize funding for essential programs and services that support underprivileged communities. Many educators believe that this move is part of a broader agenda to weaken public education and promote privatization.

In response, the unions are mobilizing their members and the community to raise awareness about the potential consequences of this executive order. They are calling for collective action to protect public education and advocate for policies that prioritize the needs of students and educators. The fight to preserve the integrity of the educational system in San Antonio is just beginning, as these organizations work tirelessly to make their voices heard.
