Head of Massachusetts Teachers Association calls for statewide safe-space day

NORTHAMPTON — Barbara Madeloni, head of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, has called on union members to join together to make Nov. 22 a day to "let students and parents know that love trumps hate, that we welcome all students and their families, and that we will provide places of safety in our classrooms, schools and colleges."

The safe-space declaration came roughly a week after Republican Donald Trump claimed the presidency.
