Opinion | Teach For America's congressional internship program is proof that the organization is more interested in prestige than actually helping students. By kailalouise513.

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Teach For America is a nonprofit with a mission to "strengthen the movement for educational equity and excellence."

However, Teach for America plants itself in predominantly Black and brown communities with the goal of educational equity, without considering other factors that go into ensuring an equitable and excellent education. Alumni have been placed with members of Congress such as Sens. Patty Murray, Sherrod Brown, and Michael Bennet, as well as the late Rep. John Lewis. These are all members who traditionally support policies that promote and strengthen education for all students in America, fund healthcare, and fight for equal rights. This placement makes sense. These are members who will fight against, fight for lower interest rates on student loans, and fight for affordable healthcare for underserved Americans.

What I want to know is why TFA is partnering with people whose ideologies and policies don't support the students their organization serves? Well, it's quite simple. TFA's overall goal isn't to create great teachers, it's a self-identified "leadership development organization." The ultimate focus isn't on the students, but rather on advancing the TFA participants' careers.

Partnerships with organizations like the Walton Family Foundation, and even its own political arm, Leadership for Educational Equity , TFA is indirectly controlling the educational landscape in America with whom it chooses to support and fund.
