Let's be VERY clear here. Trump does *not* have the authority to withhold federal funding from public schools for what they teach. The 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act is very explicitly clear on this. #EduSky www.chalkbeat.org/2025/01/29/t...

Trump looks to withhold school aid over lessons on equity and gender. Can he?
The federal government is barred by law from mandating what curriculum schools use. But Trump’s order about “discriminatory equity ideology” and “gender ideology” indicates he wants to use his adminis...

I have been concerned for years that states will block faculty from attending certain conferences or accepting some grants. It looks like that is now happening at North Texas. www.chronicle.com/article/a-te...
Meanwhile, the impacts on research are already being felt. According to the faculty member in the College of Education, one prestigious grant from the Spencer Foundation has been delayed until it’s determined to be in compliance with Senate Bill 17. As a result, they said, “we’re already putting in jeopardy relationships with major funders across the nation.” Those in the College of Education were also told that they will not receive travel funds to present research at conferences that deal with race, color, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation. If scholars choose to pay out-of-pocket to attend such conferences, the faculty member added, they must say that they are not representing the university. (Reese, meanwhile, said that faculty members can get travel funding to engage in activities “whereby scholarly and professional stature are demonstrated and may be appraised.” She denied any delay concerning the Spencer Foundation grant.)

Donald Trump has said he plans to use the Department of Education to further his priorities. He also said he would close it. But is either possible? Even with his electoral victory, both options would face difficulties. nyti.ms/3UPvMlG

The best part about teaching ed law is hearing all the stories about what happens in schools. For some of the scenarios the only response is "yeah, so who the hell knows what test the court will use (or make up) for that one!"
