There's a part of me that says maybe I'm just a bit too outspoken for public schools. Maybe I need to find a school that's a better match.

This is a very, very important victory for schools in Eugene, but it's really only the first battle.

It became too much to not be able to speak my mind or defend my students without fear or retribution.

As a senator from the only true swing district in the Texas Senate, I've been targeted by the GOP for my outspoken criticism of their extremist attacks on public education and voting rights, to name just two examples.

In public schools, classes are bloated - it's ridiculous.

When they're [the public] made aware of issues, they become very outspoken as we've seen.
