Tell your lawmaker: Stop cuts to public schools to fund vouchers In Congress, Trump’s allies are trying to sneak a new voucher program into a bill about taxes. But this β€œtuition tax credit” is nothing more than a national voucher program that also allows people lik...

Thank you @doggett.house.gov @sewell.house.gov @chu.house.gov for fighting to stop the Republicans' national voucher scheme, hiding as a tax credit. Tell Congress not to undermine public schools by funding vouchers.

In DC, looking for inspiration to address what’s happened this week, and then I look up and see this wall art in my hotel room. In times like these, look to the OGs of democracy.

A government that pursues uniformity, inequity and exclusion - let’s call it β€œUIE” - will find itself hauled to court very, very quickly.

I know what some people think β€œDEI”means. But there’s another meaning behind β€œDEI” that is closer to the core intent behind the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. A government can purport to disband β€œDEI,” but it can’t disregard the Constitution.

New Title IX guidance from President Biden's administration threatens to upend school rev-share plans in college sports The outgoing administration's Department of Education dropped an 11th-hour salvo saying any payments must be β€œproportionately” distributed to men and women athletes to satisfy Title IX.

A no-brainer. Schools should know this even in the absence of guidance sports.yahoo.com/new-title-ix...

The (mis)education of Indigenous students - Kappan Online Indigenous students in the U.S have faced a history of serious educational mistreatment and still experience formidable challenges..

I wrote this article, published today, before the Nov. 5 election. It’s a reminder that the U.S. Department of Education is not the only cabinet agency responsible for attending to the needs of children and students. #KappanMag #EdPolicy #EdChat #EdLeaders
