Does PAT ever get involved in any political issues?
Yes. Education and politics are influenced and dependent on each other. This is a healthy relationship in a democracy with the philosophy and practice of universal education. Thus, when a political issue arises that can or will affect the education profession, we research the facts, receive advice from the advisory board and listen or solicit feedback from our members. We then pass this information on to our members so they can decide for themselves. Additionally, if an issue warrants it, we will inform the appropriate legislators for their consideration and action. We might also contact the various media outlets to make our members’ position known.
