We don’t have a lot of new information regarding the mass firing of the remaining Department of Education employees; it appears the Trump administration has used the government shutdown as an opportunity to finish destroying the department of ed. If there are no employees, it exists in name only.

nowhere is safe from moneyed reactionary efforts, especially when large churches partner with political orgs, increasingly common and likely to be more so as the Christian nationalist coalition attempts to make full use of their institutional capture of the government and courts.

What happens when a CA school board is captured by Christian nationalists? Look no further than Chino USD where Sonja Shaw and 4 flunkies rule over a student body of approx. 26,000 students (slightly bigger than Glendale USD). Very long thread follows…

In February, Linda McMahon claimed no cuts to Title I would be made; more lies from this administration. These cuts would devastate districts across the country. I encourage everyone to check how much Title I funding their district and site receive and do the math.Inform your community and call reps

It’s sometimes surprising what a small world the reactionary right is given their reach and influence but here’s one instructive example. This morning PragerU’s Jill Simonian posted excitedly abt a new OK program to require its teachers to pass a Prager created “America first” test.

Although Alito frames the remedy here as "notice and opt-out," the reality is that school districts cannot manage such a sweeping opt-out system. They are far more likely to simply pull books with LGBTQ characters off classroom shelves altogether rather than face a ruinous, high-profile lawsuit.

In her dissent from today's decision—Mahmoud v. Taylor—Justice Sotomayor says that the court's holding "threatens the very essence of public education," and that its "reverberations" will be felt "for generations." This is a very heartfelt and mournful dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Today’s ruling threatens the very essence of public education. The Court, in effect, constitutionalizes a parental
veto power over curricular choices long left to the democratic process and local administrators. That decision guts
our free exercise precedent and strikes at the core premise
of public schools: that children may come together to learn
not the teachings of a particular faith, but a range of concepts and views that reflect our entire society. Exposure to
new ideas has always been a vital part of that project, until
now.
The reverberations of the Court’s error will be felt, I fear,
for generations. Unable to condone that grave misjudgment, I dissent.

This is the one that broke me, though. It's an EO "promoting the appropriate integration of AI into education," including a task force figuring out how to give grants to support "AI-based high-quality instructional resources." www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Sec. 6. Improving Education Through Artificial Intelligence. (a) To provide resources for K-12 Al education, agencies represented on the Task Force shall seek to establish public-private partnerships with leading Al industry organizations, academic institutions, nonprofit entities, and other organizations with expertise in Al and computer science education to collaboratively develop online resources focused on teaching K-12 students foundational Al literacy and critical thinking skills. The Task Force shall promptly announce such public-private partnerships on a rolling basis as they are formed.
(i) The Task Force shall seek to utilize industry commitments and identify any Federal funding mechanisms, including discretionary grants, that can be used to provide resources for K-12 Al education. To the extent practicable and as consistent with applicable law, agencies shall prioritize funding for such purposes when it would further the aims of the program for which funding is available.
(ii) The Task Force shall work to ensure the resources funded as described in subsection (i) of this section are ready for use in K-12 instruction within 180 days following the Task Force's formal announcement of the first slate of public-private partnerships.
(b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Task Force shall identify existing Federal Al resources on which agencies may rely, such as the NSF- and Department of Agriculture-sponsored National Al Research Institutes, to support partnerships with State and local educational agencies to improve Al education.
(c) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Education shall issue guidance regarding the use of formula and discretionary grant funds to improve education outcomes using Al, including but not limited to Al-based high-quality instructional resources; high-impact tutoring; and college and career pathway exploration, advising, and navigation.
