Submitted some short stories today . . . my secret is obsessing over the last round of edits and then hitting "send" on the submission so fast I just start screaming. In case anyone wants to replicate the process.

This moment was so shocking to me. What is the implication? That we are removing federal civil rights protections and its ok that some states won't do a good job?? McMahon came to ease concerns about block granting and I don't think she is accomplishing that today.

How do you effectively dismantle the Dpt of Ed without going through Congress? You fire a ton of employees, which is what we anticipate is happening tonight at 6pm. @all4ed.bsky.social was proud to join the rally at ED today to support our civil servants & the essential work of the agency. #edusky

We have a consistent issue with this line of thinking politically - you can't fail to fund something, work to sabotage it, and then stand around asking why it didn't work. Let's stop the political games and actually fund programs that we know work for our students. #edusky

Senator Kim's emotion reflects the reality that so many of us know: we are talking about people, not numbers. Real educators, parents, students, administrators, school and district leaders. The education system is all of the dedicated people who work to teach and support our students every day.

Critical questions from the Senator: If private schools take federal money for vouchers, will they be allowed to turn away students based on disability or other protected status? McMahon is unfortunately unwilling to answer. #edusky

Linda McMahon is on the record now saying it is "not the President's plan to defund the programs" in ED, but our educators, students, and families deserve details for the many critical programs that provide support, services, and even food for children nationwide.

As McMahon begins her opening statement, it is important to reiterate that fed law prohibits ED from mandating curricula and standards. We cannot return to states what they already have and efforts to decrease services that support our most vulnerable students will harm not help our nation.

Voters are opposed to eliminating the Department of Education, including voters who identified as voting for Trump (who split about 50/50, but definitely not majority in support) 😳 See the rest of the results from @all4ed.bsky.social here: all4ed.org/publication/... #edusky

Poll results show that voters want public education that is robust, funded, and delivering great outcomes for our students. They do NOT agree with dismantling the public education system. This is why it's so important to go beyond "hot takes" to the real, nuanced reality of ed policy nationally.
