Following this historic VP pick, we've decided to ask teachers to anonymously share what education-related issues they care about most and who they plan to vote for in November.
Maybe, as a public school teacher, you're most concerned with student safety.
Maybe your top concern is stopping the far-right from dismantling the Department of Education.
Maybe, in your state, you're most concerned with the current curriculum that is being taught to students.
Teachers — whatever your opinion, we want to hear it. Please fill out this anonymous Google form. Your response could be featured in an upcoming post.
If you are reading this and you're not a teacher, don't worry! New groups of voters will be requested bi-weekly! Also, if you don't qualify for this round but know someone who does, please send it their way!
