Educators and parents are slamming TIME magazine editors for their November 3rd issue cover, which they say levies “malicious” and “false” attacks against the nation’s public school teachers.

“ROTTEN APPLES,” reads the cover, which includes an image of an apple about to be pounded by a gavel. “It’s Nearly Impossible to Fire a Bad Teacher. Some Tech Millionaires May Have Found a Way to Change That.” The picture and text promote a story by Haley Sweetland Edwards.

“TIME magazine is about to use its cover to blame teachers for every problem in America’s schools,” said American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten. According to Weingarten, the message of the cover does not even accurately represent the magazine’s “own reporting,” which, she says, raises important questions about “the testing industry’s connections to Silicon Valley and the motives of these players.”

As one of the top-selling magazines in the United States, the issue will be seen on display in dentists’ offices, grocery stores, and news stands across the country. Critics say that the nuance of the article itself is steamrolled by the magazine’s anti-teacher cover, which parrots the narrative of the so-called “corporate education reformers,” who push policies to break teachers’ unions, privatize public education, and emphasize high-stakes standardized testing.

“TIME: apologize to America’s teachers for the misleading and hyperbolic attack on your November 3 cover,” reads an AFT petition created in response to the magazine’s editorial decision.
