In this episode, I sit down with Michelle Williams, president of the Houston Education Association, and y’all… this woman is in the fight of her LIFE with HISD. She breaks down everything from her wrongful termination to how the district straight-up failed to follow students’ IEPs — and how she won her complaint against them.
Michelle walks us through what went down at the latest board meeting, the legal mess behind the scenes, and why teachers have GOT to stop letting districts bully them. Document everything, know your rights, and stop suffering in silence.
We also talk about her run for State Representative (House District 127), why community input matters more than ever, and how the current HISD leadership is out here ignoring laws, ethics, and basic humanity. If you’ve ever felt alone dealing with your district, this episode will light a fire under you.
This is for every teacher, parent, and advocate who’s tired of the nonsense and ready to fight back.
