Elephant Educators genuinely respect political diversity and believe in honest debate; therefore we invite conservative, moderate and liberal NEA & AFT Republicans to find a common home here on our forum. We understand that our engaged involvement in the political process will assist in changing the dynamics surrounding public school improvement. Elephant Educators will help both the Republican Party and our Teacher Unions to find common ground around our shared values and vision, recognizing the vitally important role that both the Republican Party and the NEA & AFT play in achieving educational progress.

Our primary goal is to improve the relationship between Republican Party organizations and Teacher’s Union affiliates at all levels. Certainly, our on-line forum will expose both positive and negative examples from both sides as well as carefully monitor current issues, events and controversies. Our lively on-line postings will encourage extensive conversations between pro-public education GOP political leaders, Republican NEA & AFT activists and friends who wish to contribute to our healthy dialogue.

Ultimately, an essential purpose of our forum is to make both the GOP and the NEA & AFT better organizations. Elephant Educators hope that both the Republican Party and the Teacher’s Unions will become more effective partners in advancing the quality public schools agenda. As “Horace” our mascot illustrates, the Elephant Educators Forum enthusiastically welcomes you to join with us under the Big Tent.
