Thank you!

We Stand recognizes the enormous value that teachers bring to our community and the incredible job that most of them do every day to mentor and help raise up our youth. We are deeply grateful for the wall of protection they have been for students, shielding them from the woke doctrine that is infiltrating schools. We stand with you, we pray for you, and we support you! Please let us know if there is any practical way that we can help you!

OPT OUT AND DEFUND THE UNION 

The Freedom Foundation.org is  helping teachers get out of the national school unions that are pushing indoctrination onto schools.

The Freedom Foundation is more than a think tank. They are a battle tank that’s battering the entrenched power of left-wing government union bosses who represent a permanent lobby for bigger government, higher taxes, and radical social agendas. Find out more at:

Opt Out Teachers- what happens _edited.png

For years, public school teachers in Oregon were required to pay union dues to the Oregon Education Association (OEA) as a condition of employment and the district automatically deducted union dues from teachers’ paychecks.

However, because of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Janus v. AFSCME (2018), public school teachers can now demand that the OEA cease withholding union dues from their paychecks.

 

The court ruled that the mandatory dues requirement violated workers’ First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and association, and that public employees have the right to choose for themselves whether to pay any union dues or fees.

TEACHERS HAVE CHOICES

"Educators are professionals and need professional benefits, including liability insurance, resources, and job protection support.


Several national and numerous state alternatives are available to teachers, education staff, and administrators."

Christian Educators Association International
 NOTE: CEAI's website moved to ChristianEducators.org and is packed with resources and support.                   

CEAI's Mission: To encourage, equip, and empower Christian educators to effectively walk out their calling in their schools.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS

 Christian educators, especially those in public schools, serve in environments that are sometimes hostile to their faith or lack Christian community and support. 

Many of them find themselves discouraged, afraid, and isolated. They sometimes feel coerced into teaching ideas and values that violate their deeply held beliefs, and are pressured into joining unions that work against their values.

If you have any of the following questions then a membership with coverage at Christian Educators might be the solution you need.
