Some teachers in California are ready and willing to fight back if President-elect Donald Trump does anything to harm their students. As part of a group that calls itself “Educators in Resistance,” teachers in San Francisco and Oakland have pledged not to cooperate with or normalize an administration that they think emboldens white supremacy. These teachers work with immigrants and students of color who have expressed fears that the president-elect has emboldened racism and promoted hostile rhetoric against minority groups. The teachers hope their work inspires other educators around the country to similarly organize. Rosen’s students urged him to go to Washington, D.C., this week to participate in demonstrations against Trump, and that’s exactly what he has done.
