I teach history and civics in a public high school. Over my 19 year career, I never taught that message. If I could indoctrinate my students into doing or thinking anything, it would be to put down their cell phones, wear deodorant, and stop using Axe Body Spray.

I joined Dr. Jill Biden & my Education Minnesota colleagues tonight to say loud & clear: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are here for educators & we're here for them. From tackling student debt to addressing gun violence, they've made a difference for educators & schools—& they're not done yet.
