If you don’t want someone else’s sexuality to be “forced” on you, then don’t post any pics of your opposite sex partners or spouse, or your “family photos”. This is a Pride Month post.

Teachers know that class size matters; smaller classes mean each student gets more attention, teachers can focus more on instruction and building relationships, and less on classroom management and behavior issues, and the learning experience will improve for all concerned.

The Michigan State Board of Education today passed a resolution on smaller class sizes--major points include: • priority should be given to funding for the Fiscal Year 2026 budget to allow high poverty schools to hire more teachers to lower the student to teacher ratio in K-3 classrooms;

Cut what it takes for schools to be successful, then use declining test scores as a rationale to cut even more. It's a recipe for disaster. #SupportPublicSchools @mrobmsu.bsky.social

Sounds like private school vouchers… “Hey, here’s a voucher for $6500! Now your kid can go to any elite private school of your choice!” “Um, the private school we want charges $32,000 a year, and won’t accept my child.”

Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent. Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent. We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

"The vast majority of American parents—and voters—believe that the schools their children attend are doing a good job, and want them funded by their tax dollars. And they want those schools, and their kids’ education to continue to be of high quality." ~Mitchell Robinson @mrobmsu.bsky.social

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Look, I’ve never bought in to the whole “American exceptionalism” thing, but if we’re so exceptional we should be able to get an extrajudicially extradited prisoner back from El Salvador, and maybe try him for the crimes he supposedly committed in court, like our laws require.

Michigan State faculty passed a resolution urging the university to form a mutual defense pact with Big Ten schools to fight back against Trump’s attacks on higher ed. Shared defense fund. United front. No backing down.

This administration is eliminating the Department of Education, cutting school lunch programs, and extraditing immigrants to brutal prisons in foreign countries. A democracy is judged by how it treats children and prisoners—the most vulnerable among us.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

It's not even just Mein Kampf that they're keeping while getting rid of books about the Holocaust and Jim Crow. The Camp of the Saints -- the racist dystopian fantasy about zombie-like dark-skinned migrants wiping out Western civilization -- is also sitting there on Naval Academy bookshelves.

Gone is “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” Maya Angelou’s transformative best-selling 1970 memoir chronicling her struggles with racism and trauma.

Two copies of “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler are still on the shelves.

Gone is “Memorializing the Holocaust,” Janet Jacobs’s 2010 examination of how female victims of the Holocaust have been portrayed and remembered.

“The Camp of the Saints” by Jean Raspail is still on the shelves. The 1973 novel, which envisions a takeover of the Western world by immigrants from developing countries, has been embraced by white supremacists and promoted by Stephen Miller, a senior White House adviser.

“The Bell Curve,” which argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people, is still there. But a critique of the book was pulled.

The administration has now cut grants that supply healthy meals for school children, and replaced them with Hunger Games style competitions that pit school districts against one another. We are better than this. At least some of us are.

The Network for Public Education Conference in Columbus, OH this weekend was one of the very best I’ve ever attended. And meeting Gov. Tim Walz was just the cherry on top of the sundae! He gave a great speech—equal parts inspiring, motivating, and hilarious. I’m refreshed and ready for the fight!

🚨Let’s talk election integrity in MI—because Republicans are spreading lies. 🚨 An audit released today found just 15 noncitizen votes—only 0.00026% of total ballots—the lowest in any recent state audit. Despite this, R’s keep lying. We rank 2nd in the nation in MIT’s Elections Performance Index.
