A new #EdTrends poll of voters in four battleground states shows Democrats ceded trust on education to Republicans as voters note concerns over lingering pandemic learning loss. The crisis in education has mounted into one voters simply cannot ignore.

Today’s decision by the #SupremeCourt threatens decades of progress toward greater equity and racial diversity on college campuses across our nation. Reversing race conscious admissions policies will only allow structural prejudices to go unchecked.

Impressive results from public charter schools in my home state. Let's keep investing in what works for students.
An extraordinary finding from @CREDOatStanford's latest report on charter school effectiveness: Charter students in Rhode Island experience the equivalent of 90 extra days of learning in ELA (88 in math) compared with kids in district schools @The74.

Couldn't agree more. As Democrats, we should be aligning ourselves with an issue that promotes our core values, that we know works for kids––particularly Black & Latino kids, and that resonates deeply with Democratic voters.
Striking disconnect between the politics of charter schools, with Democrats deciding it's not worth the political hassle, and the evidence, which shows dramatic *and accelerating* learning gains for black and brown kids

Today’s decision by the Oklahoma Virtual Charter School Board to approve a sectarian charter school is disappointing, but we cannot let this anomaly detract from the vital role that public charter schools play for millions of students within our nation’s public school system.
