Join our conversation with a 39-year veteran educator and Houston Federation of Teachers member, Estela Blair, who is living the reality of the Houston ISD state takeover. She shares what has changed inside her classroom and school community, how top-down mandates and constant scrutiny impact educators and students, and what it feels like to teach when local voices are pushed aside.
Through her experience, she reflects on the power of union membership—how HFT has provided protection, community, and a collective voice during one of the most challenging periods of her career. From advocating for student needs to standing up for professional dignity, she explains why solidarity matters now more than ever. This conversation is a vulnerable, first-hand look at public education under state control and a reminder that organizing isn’t abstract—it’s personal, and it directly impacts students’ lives.
