Black Lives Matter
An open statement from the MACTE Executive Board
The Massachusetts Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (MACTE) is a statewide organization dedicated to facilitating steady improvement of educator preparation in the Commonwealth. Our membership is comprised of nearly sixty private and public colleges and universities with educator preparation programs. We are also the state affiliate of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE). In pursuit of our main goal, we are committed to several objectives, but one of our main objectives is to maintain an effective voice for educator preparation at the state level. It is because of our mission and purpose that MACTE is issuing the following statement regarding the May 2020 murder of an unarmed African American man, George Floyd, who was killed by an act of sustained brutality by one police officer while four other officers stood by without intervening. This is a pattern of police behavior that we have seen many times before. Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, Rem'mie Fells, Riah Milton, Tony McDade, Oluwatoyin Salau and countless others who remain unknown have died as a result of police violence. Today we are speaking out against these heinous crimes in support of all the Black lives ended too early by police brutality.
