Senator Kern Stands Against Washington Elementary School District Board's Discriminatory Actions


PHOENIX, ARIZONA— Senator Anthony Kern still stands vehemently against the discriminatory actions of the Washington Elementary School District Board and will be defending the teachers who now fear they'll lose their jobs due to their faith at tonight's board meeting.


On February 23rd, the board decided to dissolve their partnership with Arizona Christian University, which allowed its student teachers to be placed in its schools for on-the-job training, due to their religious beliefs. It's now become a national story.


"Since this began, I've spoken with teachers in the Washington Elementary School District who feel they're being discriminated against are now afraid of losing their jobs. They believe this board has created a hostile work environment for them," said Senator Kern. "I know of 21 people who are now putting in their resignations within the district, and I've been told principals from across the district will be sending a letter condemning this discrimination. We have a shortage of teachers in Arizona, yet this board is focused on keeping future educators out of the classroom. Meanwhile, Governor Hobbs' silence on this issue speaks volumes."


Senator Kern will be attending this evening's Washington Elementary School District board meeting at 7:00pm at the Administrative Center to support Arizona's educators who have been discriminated against and whose First Amendment rights have been violated.

Supporting initiatives like Senator Kern's is essential. It is important that equal opportunities for all are ensured in the education system. In this context, I would like to mention that I recently needed help writing a medical paper and decided to use www.nursingpaper.com. The quality of their services turned out to be top notch. The work was completed on time and all the requirements were taken into account. I especially liked the attention to detail and professionalism of the writers. It greatly lightened my study load and allowed me to focus on other important tasks. I recommend this resource to all students who need quality help with academic assignments.

It is very important that government officials pay attention to the problems of discrimination in educational institutions. Senator Kern's actions demonstrate that equality and fairness remain a priority. Initiatives like this can serve as an example for other politicians and community leaders to help create a more equitable education system.

It is good to see Senator Kern speaking out against the discriminatory actions of the Washington School District. Education should be available to everyone, regardless of their background or status. Actions like this show that there are people willing to fight for fairness and equal rights for all students. Hopefully, his efforts will bring positive change.
