“[SB 12] will create an atmosphere where minorities are forced to conform. If achievement gaps for minority students widen, we can look back to this bill as the start. The state has demonized #DEI. But I refuse to accept the narrative.”

OK y’all, let’s do this. I’m live tooting from #HandsOff #Philly at Independence Mall, representing from #NewJersey’s Cooper River @indivisibleteam.
They’re taking about public schools now — AFT President Rando Weingarten is here.

The initiatives provide leadership development, #teacher residency programs, training & other services. A coalition of Democratic-led states that challenged the funding freeze said it would trigger teacher #layoffs & other harm to #schools, weakening the teacher pipelines #Congress intended to enhance when it created the programs.

"President Donald Trump’s latest executive order titled “RESTORING TRUTH AND SANITY TO AMERICAN HISTORY” replicates a tactic used by all authoritarian regimes. In the name of countering bias, they distort the nation’s history into self-serving mythology.
History will be used to justify the power of the ruling elites in the present by deifying the ruling elites of the past. It will disappear the suffering of the victims of genocide, enslavement, discrimination and institutional racism. The repression and violence during our labor wars — hundreds of workers were killed by gun thugs, company goons, police and soldiers from National Guard units in the struggle to unionize — will be untold. Historical figures, such as Woodrow Wilson, will be social archetypes whose darker actions, including the decision to re-segregate the federal government and oversee one of the most aggressive campaigns of political repression in U.S. history, will be ignored.
In the America of our Trump-approved history books — I have read the textbooks used in “Christian” schools so this is not conjecture — equal opportunity for all exists and has always existed. America exemplifies human progress. It has constantly improved and perfected itself under the tutelage of its enlightened and almost exclusively white male rulers. It is the vanguard of “Western civilization.”

Give it up for New York schools. They're defying orders to stop their DEI programs. It's nice to see that not everyone is capitulating to cowardly bullies. #Politics #Education #DEI #Democracy #School #Schools #US #USpol #Diversity
“There have been significant changes made to these bills, and they’re going to be heard in a closed door meeting that’s not accessible to the public. No livestream. No public comment.”
New from @josephinelee: Vouchers came one step closer to law, along with what Democrats say is a deeply inadequate public ed funding bill. https://www.texasobserver.org/house-ed-committee-approves-vouchers-and-public-school-funding/
“School boards and boards of trustees have been infiltrated by a lot of right-wing politician. By using the board of trustees to implement pieces of anti-LGBTQ and anti-DEI law, it makes it really clear that this bill is not about parental rights, but it’s about pushing forth a political agenda.” https://www.texasobserver.org/senate-gop-parental-rights-bills-school-control/

Israeli forces have carried out strikes on three schools in Gaza City, killing at least 33 people – 18 of them children.
The schools were being used as shelters by hundreds of displaced Palestinian families.
Israel’s military has also issued orders for residents in more neighbourhoods in Gaza City to flee their homes.

…Programs [on]…historical events & contributions & promoting awareness would not violate the #law “so long as they do not engage in racial *exclusion* or *discrimination*,” the #Trump admin wrote.
“However, #schools must consider whether any school programming discourages members of all races from attending, either by excluding or discouraging students of a particular race or races, or by creating *hostile* environments based on race for students who do participate,” the #Education Dept said.
New today: “This will strip schools of the ability to foster inclusive environments under the guise of protecting parents. But let’s ask which parents, because they sure aren’t the ones with LGBTQ+ kids, children of color, or students who rely on schools as safe spaces.”
