The National Federation of American Students is a Student Advocacy Organization. Our goal is to ensure that American students receive the best education possible in an environment which fosters creativity and embraces individuality. It is our belief that in order for a school to provide students with the highest quality education, schools must honor students’ basic rights. To that end The National Federation of American Students works to see that students receive their basic rights and are fairly treated.
Students spend the majority of their days in school. We understand that it would be virtually impossible to run a school in a completely democratic fashion, yet we ask that schools provide students with basic rights and always offer them a fair shake. The purpose of public schooling in America is to teach children and young adults to become good citizens. It is impossible to successfully teach the values of justice in an unjust or corrupt educational environment.
NFAS is a student association designed to protect the rights of students in the same way teachers’ associations are designed to protect the rights of teachers. However, we do not have the same resources to fund our endeavors. Nonetheless, we are similar in principle as we believe that an organized and unified American student body is the only way to be certain that our rights are not infringed upon.
The way that we pursue our agenda is the same way many other organizations do, based on sheer numbers. By joining the National Federation of American Students you are helping to ensure that when we contact school administrators, school boards, and legislators to attempt to fix problems and injustices in schools all across America we will be taken seriously. Remember, in a democracy, majority rules. If a majority of students in your area or school feel that there is unfairness or injustice the National Federation of American Students will do its best to help.
In order to bring students together and help fight educational injustices the National Federation of American Students invites you to create a chapter of our organization at your school. We will be available to help you every step of the way. We offer several services to give students the ability to connect with one another, and we expect many more in the near future.
We offer students the ability to file a formal complaint with the National Federation of American Students. If we feel that a complaint has merit we will launch an investigation. The National Federation of American students is interested in hearing what you have to say about all educational organizations including testing organizations, public and private.
We recommend that you read our mission statement.
If you are interested in fixing the problems that are plaguing your school and joining a revolutionary student movement, please start a chapter!
