📣 Stand with Missouri Educators — Sign the Petition Today! 📣

Jeff City Politicians are trying to fund private schools with $51 million in public money, schools that can turn students away if they have special needs or practice the wrong religion. That's fewer teachers and larger classes for the 900,000 kids in our public schools. Missouri NEA is challenging this in court.

✍️ Add your name to the petition and show your support for MNEA’s legal action. Your signature sends a clear message: Educators will not be silenced.
