Educators, NEA Today shared this Free Speech Cheat Sheet that is worth the read to help protect yourself online.

"It's "remember your why" season.

And while we think it's important to reflect on, and hold close, the reasons why you became a teacher, we'd also like to remind you to "know your but".

There are amazing reasons why you became a teacher, BUT you are a highly educated professional who deserves to be treated like one.

This job is incredibly important, BUT your family, friends, and community deserve the best version of you, too.

You care deeply about your students, BUT you cannot pour from an empty cup.

You want to make a difference, BUT you are not solely responsible for fixing systemic problems.

You want to give your students the world, BUT you shouldn't have to fund it with your own paycheck.

And when someone says, "Do it for the kids," remember this:
If it was that important, you'd be paid for it.
If it was that important, there would be time in your contract hours to get it done.

Your WHY is what brought you into teaching. Your BUT - healthy boundaries, refusing to normalize impossible expectations, and walking away from toxic leadership - allows you to LOVE what you do and keep you there."

These are the adapted words of CAPE organizer, Brittany Terry. We couldn't agree more.

Congratulations to all the pro public education candidates who won their primaries yesterday!

We could not be prouder of our very own Mallory Dittmer for Congress who won her primary for US House district 5!

Every race in November will have at least one pro public education candidate on the ballot! Let’s get to work!

What are you waiting for?

VOTE!

Next up, we have our SC State House candidates with primaries in York County districts. State House representatives shape public education by deciding school funding, passing education laws, and setting policies that impact students, teachers, and public schools statewide. Given the increase in anti-public education legislation in recent years, it is incredibly important to vote for pro-public education candidates.

John King receives a Gold Star for his consistent votes and advocacy on the Statehouse floor in support of public education. 🌟

David Martin receives a Gold Star because of his fight against vouchers and work within his community to prioritize safety and opportunities for students. 🌟

Peter Martinez receives a Gold Star for his focus and passion for supporting public education and students receiving special education. 🌟

Get out and VOTE! Public education is on the ballot - choose wisely 🍎

25/05/2026

Next up are our US Senate and House Primary Candidates. These are important seats as they impact public education through federal funding appropriations, legislative oversight of the U.S. Department of Education, and the confirmation of key officials like the Secretary of Education. 🍎

Dr. Annie Andrews gets a gold star for US Senate for her longtime dedication and passion for supporting children and teens. 🌟

Mallory Dittmer gets a gold star for US House for her strong public education advocacy over the years as a founding CAPE organizer and for her work in helping pro-public education candidates get elected to school boards across the county. 🌟

Despite hearing them each speak more once, neither Annie’s nor Mallory’s opponents have expressed public education as a priority.

23/05/2026

Next up are our SC Superintendent of Education candidates. Both candidates are highly qualified with an educator background which is a stark difference from our current Superintendent, Ellen Weaver. Both get Gold Stars for their education, experience, and unwavering support of public education. 🌟
