The truth about Teach for America College students at some of Teach for America’s primary recruiting grounds are escalating a campaign to force TFA to be truthful about its work or get off their campus. Working with United Students Against Sweatshops and nearby AFT locals, students at Harvard, Eastern Michigan, Vanderbilt and Macalester are hosting TFA alumni who are part of a “truth tour” exposing how TFA is undermining the teaching profession and public education. The students are demanding that their administrations stop collaborating with the program unless TFA makes three changes immediately: only send teachers to areas in which there is a teaching shortage, provide corps members more education and training, and cut ties with corporations the students deem socially unjust, like Exxon Mobil and JP Morgan Chase.
