Kentucky's 2019 teacher of the year skipped a formal ceremony at the White House on Monday — a snub Jessica Dueñas said was in protest of the Trump administration's embrace of school-choice policies.
"It's not enough to tell our kids, 'It gets better,'" Holstine said Tuesday."We need to make it better for them now." Dueñas, a native New Yorker, said she also didn't feel comfortable being on the White House grounds for personal reasons. As an Oldham County teacher, Dueñas spent time writing grants in order to get new technology for her students; at DuBois, her students have benefited from robust funding from JCPS and community supporters. Rather than diverting resources from public schools through school-choice polices, she said, states like Kentucky should focus on getting schools in rural communities the resources they need.
That will teach them.
Who cares?
You might be a good teacher but you’re not without flaws. Try to be more humble. It will take you further than arrogance and bad manners.
That's moral class.
Who wants to meet the biggest idiot on the planet?
Well, she's a propagandist for the Left like any 'good' teacher. She's done her share of TrumpHate. it would be outrageous for the President whose reputation and administration she repeatedly trashed as her part of 'public education'.
I’d never get why people protest a White House visit when it’s the perfect time to speak to the president about your views. This is just stupid and ignorant.
Honestly you must look real hard for stupid stories like this just because you dislike Trump.
Her Loss!
bless her
Who actually cares about her posturing, she should go back to school because the Trump economy is booming, people are working, it’s all good
Who the hell cares ! ...she never voted for him anyway...
Honestly, he’s a guy who could use a little learnin’.
No one cares
