We are devasted with the news of the shooting in Uvalde, TX. Our hearts ache for the families coping with the loss of life, the loss of innocence, and the senseless community fear and trauma throughout.
The House just passed #SB1412, @michudall’s extremely dangerous attack on teachers. The bill seeks to divide communities, encouraging parental complaints & $5k fines on teachers. We must #TeachTruth about our history or we are doomed to repeat the past
Rep. Cano opposes #SB1412, noting that it will silence & intimidate teachers. He points out that threats of $5k daily fines on teachers will drive underpaid teachers out of AZ classrooms #TeachTruth
