When Mandy Manning received her 2018 Teacher of the Year award at the
White House Wednesday, the press was barred from her speech, and
President Trump did not mention who she teaches: immigrant and refugee
children. While she was at the White House, Manning handed President
Donald Trump a stack of letters from her refugee and immigrant students,
while billionaire Education Secretary Betsy DeVos looked on. She also
wore six politically themed buttons as she accepted her award from
Trump, featuring artwork from the 2017 Women’s March, a rainbow flag and
the slogan “Trans Equality Now!” Manning is an English and math teacher at the Joel E.
Ferris High School. She was named 2018 National Teacher of the Year by
the Council of Chief School State Officers.
