PHOENIX — Today, Arizona Education Association President Marisol Garcia released the following statement in response to death threats against educators in the Vail School District:
“Over the weekend, bad-faith actors mobilized an online mob against educators in the Vail School District. We are horrified by the barrage of death threats that followed, and we urge law enforcement to fully investigate all threats and protect the Vail community.
“Vail educators deserve privacy and grace during this time. All of us lose when our classrooms become the site of political fights.”
On September 17, AEA issued a statement urging school districts and lawmakers to protect educators from harassment and online threats. A copy of that statement is available here.
