LETTER: Educating the teachers' unions
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Matt Foot
Sir: Judith Judd ("Low marks for teachers' Easter farce", 18 April) praises the NUT leadership for supporting "campaigns ... founded on a broad-based alliance of parents, governors and teachers". How strange it is, then, that this leadership refused to sponsor the recent Fight Against Cuts in Education demonstration of 20,000 in London on 25 March - a demonstration that was actively supported by the "fantasy world" militants in the Socialist Workers Party.
Yours sincerely,
MATT FOOT
