3. High Quality Education for All Citizens Treat All People Fairly
Defined:
Treat All People Fairly
Honesty in Government
Every citizen should have the knowledge and skills to work and participate in society effectively.
Everyone should be treated the same, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or other factors.
The government should be open, honest, and transparent with the people. There should be nothing to hide!
Explained:
As members of The Teacher Party and teachers in our daily life, we understand the value of education. Our campaign is built on the idea that everyone should be able to learn at a high level and get the skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century! We want better schools and more money to teach students what they need to know and what they want to know successfully!
Being a teacher is not an easy job– there are so many things to balance! One thing is for sure, though: everyone wants to be treated fairly. We know how important fairness is in the classroom, and that should extend outside of school! There are no teacher’s pets in the classroom– there definitely should not be in real life! Everyone should be treated the same.
Lies always come back to bite you– that is true for teachers and students, so it should be true for governments! If elected, we pledge to be as open and honest as possible with the people of the united States. The people deserve to know what government is doing.

Vote Teacher Party 2020
Campaign Advertisement
We chose to use plainfolks propaganda in our advertisement. Plainfolks propaganda is when famous or powerful people try to appear like regular people. By using the image of us playing dodgeball, we are trying to appear as regular people, not big-time presidential candidates. This advertisements allows us to appear as likeable to a broader range of people.
