BATs - Stand up for our Undocumented Children

In schools and classrooms around the nation we teach amazing children who live in fear. They are our undocumented children and their families. Like the teachers in North Carolina we must join the fight to be the voices for the voiceless and demand that our undocumented children and their families be treated with respect and honor NOT like criminals. http://prospect.org/article/north-carolina-educators-fight-deportations-central-american-students-1

Many are brought here by extended family at a young age. Listen to award winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas’ story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmz9cCF0KNE
