Teachers’ unions and others on the left are “giddy” anticipating a Biden/Harris administration they expect will greatly increase spending on government schools and tighten regulations on local school districts.
According to a report last week at Capital & Main, a news outlet that is financially supported by the National Education Association (NEA), the nation’s largest teachers’ union, former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign policy director Stef Feldman toldeducation reporters Biden would “get some big, bold education legislation passed and certainly immediate relief for our schools and our educators.”
“In a Biden administration, Congress will likely be asked to approve increased education spending,” the report noted, adding Biden has already vowed to raise teacher salaries and provide more medical professionals, psychologists, and other counselors so that health care can be delivered within government schools.
