Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m selfishly glad we got to experience the display. I hope in better times we can bring it back.

This is so dispiriting. I talked to the leaders at Muir Woods when I was preparing my talk, and know how much thought and care they put into this effort.

With Trump back in office, what’s next for the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights? Rachel M. Perera examines how the Trump administration is reshaping the Office for Civil Rights to align with its agenda.

I wrote about what we might expect from the US Dept of Education's Office for Civil Rights under Trump given what they've signaled & their early activity.
