WATCH: Teachers Stand
First Lady Dr. Jill Biden recently delivered remarks to the National Education Association in Phoenix, Arizona. However, some pro-Palestine attendees walked out of the speech, seemingly in protest of the Biden administration’s stance toward the Israel-Hamas conflict.
A number of educators silently exited the venue, where some were reportedly wearing stickers that said “Free Palestine.” Biden did not address the educators who left during her speech, where she drew attention to issues such as vouchers, which allow students to attend private schools.
Biden also railed against conservative efforts to “censor books” in public schools, as the left often frames it. In recent years, parents across the nation have raised concerns about the content found in some libraries, which often pertains to sexually explicit literature many deem inappropriate for an educational setting.
“Mr. Secretary, President Biden’s Department of Education has canceled $153 billion in student loans, with plans to cancel $1.4 trillion. The House of Representatives said no – We actually passed legislation on that – The Senate said no. The Fifth Circuit Court said no. And the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court, said no,” McClain said.
