Florida State College Jacksonville

In defense of public education

Randi Weingarten and NYC teacher Tamara Simpson

Attacks on public education in America by extremists and culture-war peddling politicians have reached new heights (“lows” may be more apt), but they are not new. The difference today is that the attacks are intended not just to undermine public education but to destroy it.

United Faculty of Florida-FSCJ proclamation on the proposed Human Rights Ordinance

Whereas United Faculty of Florida-FSCJ represents 400 faculty members who are residents of the greater Jacksonville area,

And whereas a number of our tens of thousands of students and faculty are members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community,

And whereas organized labor and Faculty unions have long supported and continue to support legal protections against discrimination for all people,

Be it resolved that,
United Faculty of Florida-FSCJ fully endorses passage of the proposed Human Rights Ordinance 2017–15.

Passed unanimously, Jan. 13, 2017
