In the wake of the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, social media reactions have sparked significant controversy, particularly among educators. Following Kirk's death on September 10, teachers across multiple states have faced disciplinary actions for allegedly posting inflammatory comments online. Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas emphasized that educators' First Amendment rights "do not extend without limit into their professional duties." The backlash has raised concerns about teachers' online speech rights during politically charged events. In Massachusetts, Wachusett Regional school district Superintendent James Reilly announced the district had asked for additional police patrols on its campuses after a teacher was accused of making “inappropriate comments on her personal social media page.” In a letter posted on the district's web page, Reilly said the teacher was under investigation and barred from campus, adding that “political violence, especially, has no place in our country, and it directly contradicts our nation's founding principles.” With investigations continuing, union leaders like Florida Education Association President Andrew Spar are urging educators to be mindful of their public statements, highlighting the stress teachers face in discussing current events.

Schools across the U.S. are grappling with the impact of aggressive immigration policies, particularly those enacted by the Trump administration. The fear stemming from immigration raids has led to a decline in student attendance, with an estimated 620,000 K-12 students lacking legal status in 2021. Clinical child psychologist Allison Bassett Ratto emphasized the psychological harm faced by immigrant children, stating, “What they see are their classmates, their family members, their neighbors often being apprehended in violent and confusing ways.” Education leaders, including Noel Candelaria from the National Education Association, stress the importance of creating safe environments for all students. Los Angeles USD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, who has personal experience as an undocumented immigrant, highlighted the need for schools to act as protective spaces.

Schools across the U.S. are grappling with the impact of aggressive immigration policies, particularly those enacted by the Trump administration. The fear stemming from immigration raids has led to a significant number of K-12 students, estimated at 620,000, feeling unsafe and staying away from school. Clinical child psychologist Allison Bassett Ratto emphasized that “what they see are their classmates, their family members, their neighbors often being apprehended in violent and confusing ways,” which creates a pervasive sense of fear among children. Education leaders, including Noel Candelaria from the National Education Association, stress the importance of ensuring that “every student, cada estudiante, deserves to feel safe at school.” In response, schools are implementing measures to reassure families, including increased mental health support and legal aid, while also advocating for students' rights in the face of immigration enforcement.

The reading and math scores of 12th graders have reached their lowest levels in over 20 years, according to the National Assessment of Education Progress. The average reading score is the lowest since 1992, while math scores are at their lowest since 2005. Educators like Chantel Jiroch and Careshia Moore, co-authors of Raising America: A Visual Celebration of Educators, attribute this decline to the pandemic's impact on education, stating, "Education was drastically reshaped by the global pandemic." Factors such as overdependence on technology, lack of interest in learning, and chronic absenteeism are contributing to this trend. Nicholas Ferroni, a New Jersey educator, emphasized that societal shifts, rather than schools, are to blame for the decline.
