Legislators pushing vouchers have not only subverted state constitutions but the people’s will: “73% of participants [nationally] said funds should go to public schools,” not private schools. Even a majority of higher income republicans oppose vouchers. 1/ edsurge.com/news/2024-04-2…
On the Mississippi River banks—not far from where an 80yr old freedmen stood in 1863 waiting to meet his 1st teacher—1,500 students, 90% of whom are students of color & mostly poor, are still waiting for a library in their school. They are far from alone. chalkbeat.org/detroit/2024/0…
In today’s installment of the warping of ed values: AL to make it easier to exclude students, AK to amend constitution to allow vouchers, VT to make charter person the state super. Though SC to raise teacher salary by $5k, spent months on vouchers. alabamareflector.com/briefs/house-e…
Another one bites the dust…. “TN Gov. Bill Lee conceded defeat Monday in his push to enact universal school vouchers this year, acknowledging there was not a ‘path forward’ after months of Republican infighting.” apnews.com/article/tennes…
Yesterday US Department of Ed realigned its interpretation of Title IX to ban “all forms of sex discrimination,” including discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, sexual orientation, gender identity & pregnancy or related conditions. politico.com/news/2024/04/1…
Strong economies in states like KY, NC, & SC have recently created budget surpluses in excess of $1 billion. Could have used to finally fix teacher salaries that have lagged for two decades, expand pre-k, & a host of other constitutional mandates, but no. kentuckylantern.com/2024/04/19/did…

Been doing this work for 24 yrs & even I was shocked that many Michigan schools don’t have a library, much less a librarian. For those who might think schools are adequately funded, this glaring hole at this late date in history shows they clearly are not. chalkbeat.org/detroit/2024/0…
New Florida law scales back book banning in schools by limiting who can challenge books. But in that same law, it seeks to put its thumb on the scale in favor of “classical” charter schools, the new code word for many ultra-conservative charters. floridapolitics.com/archives/66979…
Alaska “contorted [its] correspondence school program into a shadow school voucher program.” After judge’s ruling, “that shadow school voucher program that was in violation of the Constitution, as of today, with the stroke of a pen, is dead.” alaskabeacon.com/2024/04/12/ala…
As TN’s voucher bill stalls out in final weeks of the legislative session, one lawmaker implores “citizens of TN who truly value public schools to sleep w/ one eye open.” “Deals get cut late at night.” And while I take any wins, these are multi-year fights chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2024…

@DerekWBlack This is just one piece of evidence of a growing schism in our “democracy” (can we even still call ourselves that) between the actions of the elected and the will of the electors.
We are honored to be in top 3 when it comes to Education influence. Look at what we are up against! Billionaire funded think tanks who pour $ into destroying public schools. @DianeRavitch @carolburris @AnthonyCody @KeithEricBenson @leoniehaimson @casandraulbrich @ProfessorJVH
@citizenstewart @DerekWBlack Civil rights data dropped the staffing questions, so now we will never know. I guess Trump admin didnt want people to know about those inequities.
@citizenstewart @DerekWBlack In 2018, I used natl data and estimated only about 30% of schools had both a librarian and a counselor. Im sure its increased, but doubtful its 50%.

Really concerning for rural kids with disabilities.
Before IDEA, families w children with disabilities heard, "We don't have the resources for your child. I am so sorry" Now, voucher advocates are eager to turn back the clock to that era of exclusion Read & listen to a TN parent's testimony. This is not "educational freedom"
On this week's #TheCitizenStewartShow, @RaviMGupta and I debated the SCOTUS Affirmative Action ruling. My position: the case wasn't really about fairness in college admissions. It was about a deeper question. "What does America owe Black people." open.spotify.com/episode/72Wnxy…
