For decades, education policy has emphasized top-down, heavy-handed governance and privatization schemes such as charter schools. That's changing. But reporters and pundits are ignoring that and Republicans are trying to kill the movement. https://t.co/kNsJ26tfvZ

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital. "I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!" The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.

Thank you @jeffbcdm for writing about my book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers, and how the “authoritarian playbook” always includes efforts to destroy the credibility of teachers & dismantle public schools.

A couple who created 'ghost' children to defraud Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship program plead guilty to felony charges. @AZAGMayes announced the convictions as her office investigates several other ESA fraud cases.

Has the job of educating the nation's future citizens and leaders gotten tougher since the pandemic? Rural educators I spoke to said "Yes," but there's a strategy they're using to help overcome the challenges. https://t.co/rqeJYLcro4

Post-pandemic, schools continue to struggle with food insecurity, mental health, and chronic student absenteeism—but the community schools approach can help close these gaps.

While the Republican Big Ugly budget bill's cuts to Medicaid and climate change programs have gotten the most attention, flying under the radar is a huge tax give-away to the rich masquerading as a 'school choice' scheme. My latest:

When is a “school choice” proposal not really about school choice? In the budget bill that Republicans rushed through the House on May 12, 2025, school

The results are often not good for kids or communities when charters set up next to heavy industries and toxic sties, roads become less safe, and treasured open spaces increasingly vanish. Fortunately, the 2 communities I write about fought back by upholding zoning laws.

I was thinking about the "Abundance" agenda while working on this article about what happens when government officials overlook regulations and offer incentives for charter to open in industrial zones and preserved farmland.

Tomorrow's nationwide day of action denouncing the policies of Trump and MAGA has a different and powerful theme encompassing all those who oppose the nation's descent into fascism. I explain here:

Hundreds of protest actions planned across the country will unite in ‘common cause to defend labor, immigrant, and civil rights, and then go on offense.’
