The
Elephant Educators Forum is an on-line advocacy group dedicated
to improving American public education through increased cooperation
and understanding between Republican Party Organizations and the
Teacher’s Unions. As MORE THAN ONE MILLION
loyal, registered Republicans who are also loyal, active NEA &
AFT professionals, we are all devoted to
creating great public schools.
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.
