have been learning from schools parents are finally noticing for themselves what the schools are actually teaching their children and they are not happy with it. so the reason that i speak out constantly is because we have to speak out for the most vulnerable and that is our children. and so it's very imperative. >> tammy: you know, this is your love. this is what you care about. this is at the forefront of everything that's going on. has this affected your work at all? what do you anticipate when it comes already the reaction is huge, obviously. what's been the reaction so far? >> the reaction so far has been outstanding. i have to tell you, i'm getting an outpour of messages from teachers in the district. teachers in the state and across the country who are very thankful and are finding their voice as well to speak forward. >> tammy: that's the key, isn't it? i'm sure this is key with the children you teach. it's about role modeling. it's like breaking that silence, like during the mccarthy era. the congressional hearings.
