Kelsie Bullock is a small-town teacher making a big impact - and proving that every student deserves to belong. A few years ago, she started a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Club for her Morgan County high school students.  Now, as political attacks threaten programs like hers, Bullock and her students are standing strong, creating a safe space where everyone can connect across differences and feel proud of who they are - no exceptions.KNOW YOUR RIGHTS | Take a listen to NEA's School Me podcast for a discussion with Alice O'Brien, general counsel for the National Education Association, as she walks through your rights, risks, and opportunities to push back against anti-equality policies and fear tactics: A Lawyer Explains: "DEI" and Anti-Equity Policies in Schools | NEA || OEA members with questions are urged to contact their Labor Relations Consultant for guidanceON THE FEDERAL LEVEL | Click here for information from NEA about several recent court rulings impacting inclusive education in public schools.In February, 2025, the US Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter threatening schools and colleges across the country with the loss of federal funding in a matter of days if they continued to pursue vaguely defined “DEI programs.” The National Education Association, ACLU, and others filed a lawsuit to block enforcement of this directive, saying 'the Letter radically resets ED's longstanding positions on civil rights laws that guarantee equality and inclusion and impermissibly infringes on the authority of states and school districts over public education, as well as the First Amendment rights of educators and students. In April, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction, preventing the US Department of Education from enforcing the directive while litigation continues.

These two loves directed her towards attending Ohio State for their vet program and coaching gymnastics through her time in college. She quickly realized, once starting college, that becoming a vet was not for her. She thought back on her life and realized that she has always been somewhat of a teacher to her younger sisters, her teammates, and her school peers. This, coinciding with her coaching, led her to realize that she may want to be a teacher. So she switched her major to zoology with a focus in anatomy and physiology, something she wanted to teach at the time. After graduating with her first degree, Bullock had a few hiccups for her licensure and ultimately ended up going back to Ohio State to get her bachelors in life science education. During this second degree program, she took an equity and diversity class that she attributes to her turning point in life. She learned so much about the history and culture of marginalized groups in the US and it opened her eyes. From that point on, she has been dedicated to learning and serving to help marginalized groups.Bullock enjoys her job, which allows her to actively express her D.E.I passion while also teaching about a topic she truly loves. She gets to help students learn in more ways than one.  Connect with OEA:Email educationmatters@ohea.org with your feedback or ideas for future Public Education Matters topicsLike OEA on FacebookFollow OEA on TwitterFollow OEA on InstagramGet the latest news and statements from OEA hereLearn more about where OEA stands on the issues Keep up to date on the legislation affecting Ohio public schools and educators with OEA's Legislative WatchAbout us:The Ohio Education Association represents nearly 120,000 teachers, faculty members and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities to help improve public education and the lives of Ohio's children.

Su tono apasionado, su crítica a la OEA, y suconsigna "¡Patria o Muerte!" galvanizaron a audienciasglobales, consolidándolo como un símbolo revolucionario.

Ironton Education Association President Daniel Murphy and his fellow educators in their rural community live in a deep red part of Ohio - Donald Trump won 75% of the vote in Lawrence County in 2024.

In this episode, he shares what he wants all lawmakers to understand about the challenges facing rural schools. He also shares his message to his local members about the importance of electing pro-public education leaders, regardless of political party.SEE WHERE YOUR LAWMAKERS STAND | Click here to see how your representatives in the Ohio House and Senate vote on public education issues with the OEA Legislative Scorecard tool.DONATE TO THE OEA FUND | The OEA Fund is the state political action committee (PAC) for members of the Ohio Education Association.

To his children, Jasmine and Kingston, he is a hero, a teacher, and a source of unconditional love. It is from this foundational role that his mission to nurture, protect, and empower others flows. As a Physical Education teacher at Ironton Middle School, he has spent the last decade channeling that paternal energy into the gymnasium and onto the playing fields, understanding that building strong character is just as important as building strong bodies.But his classroom has no walls. For twenty years, he has been a pillar on the football field, coaching at multiple levels. In the grit and grind of practice, he has taught young athletes about discipline, teamwork, and resilience—lessons that extend far beyond the final whistle. This same unwavering dedication is offered to his faith community, where he serves as a deacon, providing spiritual guidance and support.Recognizing that his duty of care extended to the very colleagues who shape Ironton's future, he stepped into a new role three years ago as President of the Ironton Education Association. Here, he found a new arena for his passion. The same fire he brings to his students, his players, and his church, he now brings to serving his union members every single day.His mission is clear and profound: to better the work environment and culture for everyone involved in the Ironton City Schools District. He fights not just for teachers, but for the dedicated support staff, the students they all serve, and the entire ecosystem that makes education possible. He understands that a thriving school is built on respect and fairness for all.His guiding light in this work is a powerful conviction, echoed in one of his favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.”He has chosen a life of purposeful noise. He is not silent about fair treatment. He is not silent about safe and supportive schools. He is not silent about the things that matter to his family, his students, his fellow educators, and his community.Through his roles as a father, teacher, coach, deacon, and union leader, he demonstrates that true impact is measured not by a single grand gesture, but by the sum of a thousand daily commitments. He is a builder—of stronger bodies, sharper minds, fairer workplaces, and a more compassionate community. His story is a powerful reminder that one person's dedicated life can be the catalyst for a better world for all. Connect with OEA:Email educationmatters@ohea.org with your feedback or ideas for future Public Education Matters topicsLike OEA on FacebookFollow OEA on TwitterFollow OEA on InstagramGet the latest news and statements from OEA hereLearn more about where OEA stands on the issues Keep up to date on the legislation affecting Ohio public schools and educators with OEA's Legislative WatchAbout us:The Ohio Education Association represents nearly 120,000 teachers, faculty members and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities to help improve public education and the lives of Ohio's children.

En Honduras, el próximo 30 de noviembre, se renovarán el Legislativo y la Presidencia. Por un lado, el oficialismo y los opositores se acusan mutuamente de preparar un fraude electoral, y por el otro, la Fiscalía le está quitando autonomía a los órganos electorales. Este ambiente, dice la misión de observación de la OEA, está desestabilizando el proceso electoral y el personal encargado corre peligro. El frágil proceso electoral en Honduras se agravó a finales de octubre con la revelación de audios en los que la consejera del órgano electoral, Cossette López, y el diputado Tomás Zambrano, traman un supuesto fraude electoral. Misión de observación de la OEA Los opositores a su vez señalan a la candidata Rixi Moncada, del partido en el poder, de buscar un fraude electoral. En esta confusión, la Fiscalía se posicionó del lado de la presidenta Xiomara Castro, lo que preocupa a la misión de observación de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA). La misión será clave en este proceso electoral, considera Ana María Méndez-Dardón, directora para Centroamérica de la Oficina en Washington para Asuntos Latinoamericanos (WOLA): “Es bueno que al menos la misión de observación electoral de la OEA ya esté en el país. Puede jugar un rol importante en que, si sigue a tan pocos días de las elecciones habiendo falta de consensos dentro del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE), pueden instar a que ellos puedan ser como una especie de mediadores para desentrampar todas las cuestiones administrativas”. “En última instancia, ¿utilizar el Consejo Permanente, como se hizo en el caso de Guatemala, no? Que al final fue lo que logró que hubiese una transición pacífica para la toma de posesión de Bernardo Arévalo”, agrega. Amenazas al proceso La misión de la OEA, que lidera el excanciller paraguayo Eladio Loizaga, llamó a la justicia hondureña a garantizar “la seguridad de todos los funcionarios electorales contra cualquier persecución derivada de sus funciones”, una acción que sería difícil de cumplir, estima Méndez-Dardón, por vicios al interior de las instituciones hondureñas. “Hay entre siete y 10 denuncias activas en el Ministerio Público que tienen que ver con el proceso electoral. Unas son contra consejeras del Consejo Nacional Electoral, otras son contra incluso miembros de las Fuerzas Armadas. Entonces es delicado, digamos, que estas denuncias puedan avanzar y que en algún momento puedan incluso entorpecer el proceso”, explica. “Otra amenaza es el mismo Congreso Nacional: la Comisión Permanente del Congreso Nacional tendría un rol activo, lo cual anula un poco ese rol rector y garante que tiene el CNE. Entonces, son muchas las amenazas, pero yo creo que sí hay herramientas diplomáticas, tanto técnicas, por medio de las misiones, pero también políticas, por medio de otros órganos multilaterales”, subraya asimismo. Según las encuestas, hay un empate técnico entre tres candidatos: Rixi Moncada, del oficialismo, Salvador Nasralla, del Partido Liberal, y Nasry Asfura, del Partido Nacional.

For years, the Ohio legislature has pushed to have the state pay a smaller and smaller share of the cost of running Ohio's public schools, placing a bigger and bigger burden on local property taxpayers to make up the difference. Now, Ohio lawmakers are pushing a whole raft of property tax reform bills, many with potentially disastrous consequences for public school students across the state. So, what can the state actually do to provide meaningful property tax relief without doing so on the backs of the public schools that serve 90 percent of students in our state? To understand where we should go from here, we have to understand how we got to this pressure point. In Part 1 of this special two-part conversation, we take a deeper dive into how Ohio's property taxes work and what's driving a spike in property tax bills in recent years.LISTEN TO PART 2 |Click here to hear the second half of the conversation with Dr. Howard Fleeter, where we look at what the state could do to enact potential property tax policy changes without devastating Ohio's public schools.TAKE ACTION | House Bill 186 is one of several property tax bills making its way through the General Assembly right now. But, the substitute version of HB 186 under consideration would result in a huge, devastating funding cut for hundreds of Ohio school districts, especially in rural communities.

After years of refusing to have the state pay its fair share of the cost of running Ohio's public schools and forcing local property tax payers to carry a bigger load to make up the difference, Ohio lawmakers are pushing a number of property tax changes that could slash revenues for school districts with devastating impacts on Ohio's public school students. So, what can the state actually do to provide meaningful property tax relief without doing so on the backs of our public schools? In Part 2 of this special two-part conversation, we take a look at the potential property tax reforms Ohio lawmakers could enact if they were really interested in something beyond short-sighted Band aid fixes.LISTEN TO PART 1 | Click here to hear the first half of the conversation with Dr. Howard Fleeter, where we dive into the history and impact of Ohio's property tax laws and the state policy changes that have fueled the rise in local property tax bills in recent years. This is incredibly important context about how we got here, so we can figure out what needs to be done now. If you have not listened to Part 1, please go back and listen to it now.TAKE ACTION | House Bill 186 is one of several property tax bills making its way through the General Assembly right now. But, the substitute version of HB 186 under consideration would result in a huge, devastating funding cut for hundreds of Ohio school districts, especially in rural communities.

Hace un año, Claudia Sheinbaum tomó protesta como la primera presidenta de México, y en su discurso aseguró que “llegamos todas”. A un año de su llegada a la silla presidencial, con cifras de feminicidios y desapariciones aún altas, ¿qué tan cierto es que “llegamos todas”? El mexicano herido durante el tiroteo en las oficinas de ICE en Dallas la semana pasada, Miguel Ángel García, falleció luego de estar varios días hospitalizado.Además… El estilista de celebridades Miguel de la Mora fue asesinado afuera de su salón de belleza en Polanco; Claudia Sheinbaum nominó a Alejandro Encinas como el nuevo embajador de México ante la OEA; Un terremoto de magnitud 6.9 sacudió Filipinas y dejó al menos 20 personas muertas; Donald Trump dijo que Hamás tiene tres o cuatro días para responder a su propuesta de paz para Gaza; Hubo un apagón generalizado de internet en Afganistán por el régimen del Talibán; E Elon Musk dijo que está desarrollando Grokipedia con intenciones de hacerle competencia a Wikipedia.Y para #ElVasoMedioLleno… El Rodney Cook Sr. Park en Atlanta es un parque “esponja” que ayuda a enfrentar las inundaciones.

Public education is not partisan, but it is political. What happens at the statehouse in Columbus makes a huge impact on what happens in our classrooms every day. That's why the OEA Ohio's New Educators (ONE) group is working to make sure educators have a seat at the table with lawmakers who are making education policy decisions. As ONE Member Organizer Alex Myers points out, the most effective conversations aren't always about policy specifics; they're about building constructive relationships and better understanding so lawmakers turn to educators for their input and stories.SUBSCRIBE | Click here to subscribe to Public Education Matters on Apple Podcasts or click here to listen on Spotify so you don't miss a thing.

En las elecciones generales de Bolivia del pasado día 17, el Movimiento al Socialismo, el partido de Evo Morales, sufrió el mayor revés de su historia al quedar fuera de la segunda vuelta presidencial programada para el próximo 19 de octubre. El candidato del MAS, Eduardo del Castillo, obtuvo solo el 3% de los votos y quedó en sexto lugar. Los contendientes por la presidencia serán Rodrigo Paz Pereira, un senador centrista que sorprendió con el 32% de los votos, y Jorge Quiroga, expresidente conservador con el 27%. El MAS ha dominado la política boliviana desde 2006, cuando Evo Morales asumió la presidencia con el 53% de los votos. La revalidó en 2009 y 2014 con resultados electorales aún mejores. Inspirado por el chavismo venezolano, Morales quiso emular a su maestro y alineó a Bolivia con regímenes antioccidentales como Venezuela, Nicaragua, Irán y China. Pero la Constitución de 2009, promovida por el propio Morales, limitaba los mandatos presidenciales a dos. Emulando a Hugo Chávez trató de eliminar este límite mediante un referéndum en 2016 que perdió. Aun así, el Tribunal Constitucional, controlado por él, le permitió presentarse en 2019. Las elecciones de ese año estuvieron marcadas por el fraude, que confirmó una auditoría de la OEA. Las protestas obligaron a Morales a marcharse en noviembre de 2019. Tras ello huyó del país y se estableció en Argentina apadrinado por Alberto Fernández. Entretanto, Jeanine Áñez asumió la presidencia interina. Su gestión, en principio de transición, se prolongó debido a la irrupción de la pandemia. Áñez terminó encarcelada por corrupción poco después de las elecciones de 2020 en las que el MAS regresó al poder con Luis Arce, ex ministro de Morales, que obtuvo el 55% de los votos. Pero la relación entre Arce y Morales se deterioró rápidamente, lo que resultó en una fractura interna dentro del MAS. En 2023, el Tribunal Constitucional anuló la reelección indefinida, inhabilitando de paso a Morales, que desde su escondite en la provincia de Chapare, donde está refugiado tras ser acusado de un delito sexual, pidió el voto nulo. Pero en el vuelco electoral ha tenido más que ver con la crisis económica que con la implosión de la izquierda boliviana. El país, que en los primeros años de Morales se benefició de los altos precios del gas natural, atraviesa desde hace años una crisis económica que no ha hecho más que empeorar. La producción de gas se ha reducido a la mitad por simple descuido y falta de inversiones. Del resto se han encargado los controles económicos, la corrupción y la falta de seguridad jurídica que se tradujo en el pasado en expropiaciones a empresas extranjeras, algunas españolas como Abertis o Iberdrola, cuyos activos fueron expropiados entre 2012 y 2013. Eso ha ahuyentado la inversión ahondando los problemas económicos. El resultado es una escasez crónica de divisas. Las reservas del banco central están en mínimos, la inflación ronda el 25%, el déficit público supera el 10% y los bonos son de alto riesgo. Los bolivianos se las ven y se las desean para llenar la cesta de la compra cuyo precio crece sin parar desde hace años. Los candidatos que se disputan la segunda vuelta tendrán que implementar reformas drásticas. Rodrigo Paz promete “capitalismo para todos”, mientras Quiroga aboga por cambiar “absolutamente todo” tras veinte años perdidos.

Analizamos las consecuencias que tendrá la decisión del gobierno Trump de poner fin al Estatuto de Protección Temporal, el TPS, para hondureños y nicaragüenses. Este permiso ha beneficiado durante años a ciudadanos de esos países residentes en Estados Unidos. Entrevistamos al experto en derecho internacional hondureño Graco Pérez y al exembajador de Nicaragua ante la OEA, Arturo McFields. La decisión de poner fin al TPS para Nicaragua y Honduras fue tomada por el gobierno de Donald Trump. Este programa, creado en 1999 tras los estragos del huracán Mitch en 1998, protegía de la deportación a miles de centroamericanos. La razón que dan las autoridades estadounidenses es la “mejora de las condiciones en sus respectivos países”, según anunció este lunes la jefa del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, Kristi Noem. Se estima que la eliminación del TPS afectaría a unos 76.000 hondureños y a cerca de 4.000 nicaragüenses. El huracán Mitch, recordemos, dejó más de 11.000 muertos en la región. Para el experto en derecho internacional hondureño Graco Pérez, la medida parece definitiva, aunque aún hay una posibilidad.  "En Honduras vamos a elecciones en noviembre. Un nuevo presidente podría iniciar gestiones con el gobierno del señor Trump, hacer acercamientos y tal vez lograr, de alguna forma, que no se elimine el TPS. Pero si eso no ocurre, podemos darlo por concluido. Los hondureños tendrían que regresar, y Honduras claramente no está en condiciones de recibirlos. Si se fueron hace 26 años, las condiciones ahora no son mejores que en esa época", puntualiza. Si bien en Honduras las elecciones representan una esperanza para frenar la medida, en el caso de Nicaragua la situación es aún más grave. En algunos casos, dice Arturo McFields, exembajador de Nicaragua ante la OEA y residente en Estados Unidos, se trata literalmente de una cuestión de "vida o muerte". 'En Nicaragua hay una dictadura'  "Hay congresistas que han dicho que, en el caso de Nicaragua, el TPS debe analizarse caso por caso. Porque no se trata simplemente de hacer maletas y regresar. Hay muchos que ya no tenemos país. En Nicaragua hay una dictadura que encarcela sacerdotes, que desaparece personas, incluidos presos políticos. Hay gente que muere en la cárcel por razones inexplicables. Esto no es una cuestión de geografía, ni de economía, ni de mudarse. No. Para el nicaragüense, es un asunto de vida o muerte. Y eso está más que comprobado. Lo hemos visto en muchos casos y en todo tipo de circunstancias", afirma McFields. Este anuncio llega dos semanas después de que un juez federal bloqueara temporalmente la cancelación del TPS para unos 521.000 haitianos. Y también tras la decisión de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos de permitir al gobierno de Trump retirar, por ahora, la protección a casi 350.000 migrantes venezolanos.

Es una notificación histórica y muy esperada por las organizaciones medioambientales: la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos dictaminó que los países de la OEA están obligados a proteger a la población frente al cambio climático. El proceso consultivo impulsado por Colombia y Chile ha sido el de mayor participación en la historia de la Corte. Los efectos del cambio climático vulneran los derechos humanos y deben ser protegidos. Este es el mensaje inédito que concluyó la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Corte IDH) en su notificación de opinión consultiva solicitada por Chile y Colombia en 2023. “Importante para todos los actores” El tribunal con sede en Costa Rica destacó que el derecho a un ambiente sano hace parte de la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos y por lo tanto debe cumplirse. Pablo Saavedra, el secretario de la Corte IDH, resalta la decisión como histórica y recuerda la responsabilidad de actores estatales y civiles para que los marcos jurídicos funcionen. “Yo creo que el siguiente paso para los Estados es tomar en serio esta opinión consultiva y empezar a utilizarla en el diseño de sus políticas públicas. También creo que es muy importante que la tengan en cuenta los tribunales internos, que la sociedad civil también conozca esta opinión consultiva y vea hasta dónde puede llegar. Es decir, todos los actores. Esta es una opinión consultiva que es importante para todos los actores de nuestra sociedad”, estima Saavedra. “Conectar la crisis climática con los derechos humanos” Luisa Gómez, abogada para el Centro Internacional del Medioambiente (CIEL), subraya por su parte la participación histórica en la consulta que viene de una necesidad de actuar ante los daños medioambientales. “La participación de comunidades, pueblos étnicos, organizaciones de la sociedad civil, Estados, denunciando todos los impactos y los efectos de la crisis climática en sus territorios fue monumental. Ha sido la necesidad de conectar la crisis climática con los derechos humanos, el derecho a la vivienda, el derecho al agua, el derecho a un medioambiente sano, el derecho a un aire limpio”, explica. “Entonces esta oportunidad fue histórica, justamente para que las personas le dijeran a los jueces: ‘Así estamos sufriendo la crisis climática, que está cambiando la forma en la que vivimos y como nos relacionamos con el planeta y además está influyendo negativamente en la garantía de nuestros derechos'. Por eso los Estados y otros actores, como las empresas, tienen que respetar y garantizar los derechos en el contexto de la crisis ambiental climática”, recalca. Luisa Gómez asegura que esta decisión no solo involucra a América Latina y el Caribe, sino que también impulsa un marco legal global para proteger el planeta.

Desde Antigua y Barbuda, donde sesiona la Asamblea General de la OEA, la portavoz en español del Departamento de Estado Natalia Moreno detalla cuáles son las cualidades que avalan a Rosa María para esta candidatura.

Noticiero de Martí Noticias presenta un resumen de las noticias más importantes de Cuba y el mundo. Titulares: | La violencia machista continúa en Cuba. La víctima se recupera en un hospital | Se declara culpable de narcoterrorismo y narcotráfico ex jefe de Inteligencia de Venezuela preso en Estados Unidos | Washington respalda a Rosa María Paya a la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos ante la Asamblea general de la OEA | El relevista zurdo cubano, Adrián Morejón, logra su segundo rescate en triunfo del San Diego sobre Washington, entre otras noticias.

La edad media se caracterizó por el vasallaje que no era más que  el vínculo de dependencia y fidelidad que una persona tenía respecto de otra, contraído mediante ceremonias especiales, como besar la mano el vasallo al que iba a ser su señor.En China que había vivido miles de años antes de cvilización antes que occidente existió la condición de Estado Vasallo, que no eran más que naciones “independientes” que reconocían el señorío de los emperadores chinos y pagaban tributos a cambio de cierta protección.Ayer cuando el presidente de los Estados Unidos le exigió a América Latina informar de qué lado está en un conflicto en el que la región no tiene nada que ver es evidente de que como rey medieval está poniendo claro la situación de los Estados Vasallos.Aunque el peso de Estados Unidos ha caracterizado su relacion con America LAtina considerada su patio, no hubo en la historia reciente una declaración semejante.Hasta ahora los países de la región mayoritariamente han invocado la necesidad de la paz aunque los que públicamente han condenado el uso de la fuerza norteamericana contra Irán son más y no solo Cuba o Venezuela sino que Brasil y Bolivia se han puesto de ese lado.Mañana se reunirá la endeble OEA en Antigua y aunque el tema fundamental es Haití es evidente que Estados Unidos tratará de sacar una resolución de apoyo a su política en oriente medio.República Dominicana ya habló cuando el presidente Abinader dijo ayer que está de acuerdo con el presidente TRump en “trabajar para la paz” y ni de paso mencionó la intervención de los bombarderos norteamericanos en el conflicto.Hay que esperar el reconocimiento de Estado Vasallo y por consiguiente el besamano que es su característica fundamental.

Este sábado un sicario de sólo 14 años atentó contra el senador y precandidato presidencial colombiano Miguel Uribe Turbay. El ataque ocurrió en la localidad de Fontibón, en Bogotá, durante un acto de campaña improvisado en un parque. Uribe recibió tres disparos, dos en la cabeza y uno en la pierna izquierda que le han dejado en estado crítico y se encuentra en estos momentos debatiéndose entre la vida y la muerte. El agresor, un simple adolescente, fue capturado tras el ataque, y estaba herido en una pierna a consecuencia de un cruce de disparos con los escoltas de Uribe. El menor confesó haber intentado asesinar a Uribe por una recompensa económica que recibiría su familia, lo que revela que detrás de él hay una trama que planeó el atentado valiéndose de este joven como ejecutor. Luz Adriana Camargo, Fiscal General de Colombia calificó el ataque como premeditado y ha abierto cuatro líneas de investigación. Ha ordenado que se revisen las cámaras de seguridad y se están recopilando pruebas para esclarecer los hechos. Uribe fue trasladado de urgencia a la Fundación Santa Fe, donde ingresó con diagnóstico de la máxima gravedad. El domingo los médicos se reservaron el pronóstico mientras en Colombia se desataba una ola de reacciones y condenas. El presidente Gustavo Petro condenó el ataque en una alocución televisada y ha prometido una investigación exhaustiva que comenzará por el dispositivo de seguridad de Uribe. Anunció también medidas para reforzar la protección de candidatos y líderes políticos. Pero sus declaraciones, lejos de tranquilizar, han crispado aún más el ambiente ya que amplios sectores de la sociedad colombiana le acusan de emplear continuamente un tono divisivo y polarizador. De hecho, a Uribe le llamó torturador poco antes de que sufriese el atentado. Figuras como el expresidente Álvaro Uribe Vélez, líder del Centro Democrático, y mandatarios extranjeros como el chileno Gabriel Boric, el ecuatoriano Daniel Noboa, el paraguayo Santiago Peña y el secretario de la OEA repudiaron el atentado, y exigieron que se investigue hasta sus últimas consecuencias. El atentado ha caído sobre Colombia como una losa ya que evoca los años oscuros en los que se perpetraban atentados contra candidatos como el de Luis Carlos Galán en 1989 o el de Bernardo Jaramillo un año más tarde. Hoy Colombia vive también tiempos políticamente muy convulsos. El país está fuertemente dividido entre partidarios y detractores de Gustavo Petro, en el poder desde hace tres años y que empalma una polémica tras otra. La última ha sido la de la reforma laboral, que no ha hecho más que alimentar un clima de tensión continuo entre el Gobierno y la oposición. Miguel Uribe, senador desde 2022, anunció su intención de presentarse a las elecciones presidenciales que se celebrarán el año próximo. Pero tiene antes que ganar la candidatura dentro de su propio partido, el Centro Democrático, y ahí aparecía como favorito. En esas estaba cuando estas tres balas se interpusieron en su camino. Quizá fue eso mismo lo que ha empujado a los autores intelectuales del crimen a ordenar su asesinato.

More feedback is always welcome! Please email educationmatters@ohea.org.Featured Public Education Matters guest: Scott DiMauro, Ohio Education Association PresidentScott DiMauro, a high school social studies teacher from Worthington, was elected President of the OEA in 2019 after having served as vice president for six years. Over his 34-year career as an educator, Scott has worked to provide students the critical thinking and decision-making skills they need to be successful citizens in our democracy while advocating for students, educators, and strong public schools at all levels of his union.Scott's priorities as president have included strengthening local affiliates, enhancing professional supports for members, and elevating the voice of educators in public policy to ensure all students are given access to a high-quality education that inspires their creativity, imagination, and desire to learn. As OEA President, he helped lead a successful coalition effort that resulted in the historic passage of the Fair School Funding Plan along with an increase in the state minimum teacher's salary as part of the most recent state budget bill.Scott has facilitated OEA's Board and leadership team in educating and organizing members to advocate for social, racial, and economic justice. That priority has framed OEA's advocacy on school safety, resistance to attacks on educators' freedom to teach and students' freedom to learn an honest education, and a comprehensive strategy to attract and retain caring, qualified educators—both licensed and support professionals—in every community across Ohio.As vice president, Scott was proud to guide the OEA Commission on Student Success to lay out a comprehensive vision for high-quality education for all students and lay the groundwork for positive implementation of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act in Ohio. He also led an initiative to increase student access to breakfast in high-poverty districts and served as national spokesperson for the Partners for Breakfast in the Classroom. At the national level, he currently serves as president of the National Council of State Education Associations.Term-limited to two three-year terms as OEA President, Scott will hand over the reins to OEA's new president in July. He is also retiring from teaching this summer. But, he says, his work in public education advocacy will continue. Connect with OEA:Email educationmatters@ohea.org with your feedback or ideas for future Public Education Matters topicsLike OEA on FacebookFollow OEA on TwitterFollow OEA on InstagramGet the latest news and statements from OEA hereLearn more about where OEA stands on the issues Keep up to date on the legislation affecting Ohio public schools and educators with OEA's Legislative WatchAbout us:The Ohio Education Association represents nearly 120,000 teachers, faculty members and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities to help improve public education and the lives of Ohio's children.

From the Trump administration's 'skinny budget' that aims to cut $12 billion from the US Department of Education to the latest version of the state budget which underfunds Ohio's public schools by $2.75 billion in the next two years, threats at the federal and state levels make it more important now than ever the educators stand up for the supports and resources our students need. There are also opportunities to make our schools even better, including proposed legislation to support school meals and to provide financial support for student teachers.
