Special education advocates warn against future program transfers They worry that moving IDEA services out of the Education Department would diminish oversight for civil rights and accountability.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a call to celebrate and empower each and every student, regardless of ability or disability status.

This is why it is so critical that we have dedicated professionals within the Department of Education upholding students' rights through IDEA.

This International #WomensDay and every day, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the fundamental rights of women and girls.

πŸ’œ Gender justice is at the heart of our mission because most education workers are women.

✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾 Women educate the world and women power our unions.

Today marks International Women's Day, a critical reminder of the work that must be done across the globe to eradicate inequalityβ€”and empowering women through organized labor is a powerful way to do just that.

It is so heartening to speak at NEA's Higher Ed Conference this weekendβ€”with hundreds of educators from 20 states, representing HBCUs and other MSIs and more!

Here I see such resilience. In the face of attacks on academic freedom, these leaders have defended their students and their profession.

Live updates: Strike begins at Twin Rivers school district in northern Sacramento Hundreds of educators across Twin Rivers Unified School District showed up at their schools to picket Thursday morning.

Twin Rivers United Educators are showing us all how it's done!

Thank you for fighting for full funding, safe schools, and professional payβ€”your struggle paves the path for educators and students everywhere to get what they truly deserve.

This is not accountability.

Nothing will change by reshuffling the players while the cruel agenda remains intactβ€”DHS has perpetrated egregious, inexcusable, and deadly abuses of power.

We demand true oversight, consequences for these reckless actors, and not another penny in funding for ICE.

I had just a fabulous time sharing a love of literacy with the students at Cardinal Elementary on #ReadAcrossAmerica day. Reading opens up a world of possibility.

It was such a joy to spend #ReadAcrossAmerica alongside my colleagues, in my favorite place: a school!

Reading diverse stories to students is equal parts important and fun.

Read Across America Day NEA encourages kids, teens, and people of all ages to pick up a book and read. National Education Association president Becky Pringle joins KTVU to discuss

It was great to talk to @ktvufox2.bsky.social about what #ReadAcrossAmerica is all about: literacy, learning, and diversity.

Learning and growth are a lifelong journeyβ€”which is why it is critical that students read each and every day.

Strike on Girls’ School Kills at Least 175, Iranian State Media Says

Schools should be places of joy, safety, and learningβ€”never military targets.

Today I am thinking of the scores of children, families, teachers, and unionists whose lives have been lost or upended. We at NEA are in solidarity with members of @eduinternational.bsky.social in calls for peace in Iran.

Happy #ReadAcrossAmericaDay! πŸ“–πŸ§‘ Studies have shown that reading reduces stress, and that reading just 20 minutes a day adds up to reading 1.8 million words per year. It’s also the fastest way for children to grow their vocabulary. #RAA2026

Sens. Warren and Sanders ask congressional watchdog to investigate dismantling Department of Education Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are petitioning the Government Accountability Office to investigate the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education.

Dismantling the Department of Education would harm countless studentsβ€”and the attempts to do so warrant investigation.

Tonight is the State of the Union.

And the state of our union is this: a president who has bypassed Congress hundreds of times through executive action, a legislative branch that is doing his bidding, and communities across the country paying the price. #SOTU

All students deserve to feel heard in the classroomβ€”and educators need to feel supported in order to do the jobs that they were hired to do.

Thankfully, we have prevented the Trump administration from furthering their classroom censorship and whitewashing agenda.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson. Today, I celebrate the life of a giant who was a pillar of justice for labor, education, and communities across this nation.

May we carry forward the hope that he kept alive and remember that justice is a collective responsibility.

Teachers describe immigration enforcement's impact on classrooms in challenge of Trump policy In a new court filing, teachers around the country describe how President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown is emptying classrooms and frightening families.

ICE's mere presence near schools terrorizes students and disrupts educators' teaching. Fear and cruelty have no place there.

This is why @neatoday.bsky.social is taking legal action to demand long-standing protections for sensitive locationsβ€”like schoolsβ€”be restored. #ICEOutSchools bit.ly/46368zA
