What happens when we defund belonging in schools? The silent casualties tell the story.

When I was six years old, I learned I didn’t belong. Not because of anything I had done, but because of who I was. It was the first day of school in Galveston, Texas in 1961. I was a little Black girl in a pretty new dress, clutching my school supplies and walking proudly beside my grandmother. I had no reason to expect anything but excitement. School was supposed to be the beginning of something magical. Instead, it became the […]

Maxwell Frost sparks outrage when he tells Republicans they’re pro-life only to let children ‘die in schools’

U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., America’s first and only Gen Z member of Congress, caused quite the stir during a recent hearing on Capitol Hill, where he called out what he sees as hypocrisy among Republicans who claim to be “pro-life” but won’t seriously address the nation’s gun violence. While debating an amendment to restore a gun rights provision of President Donald Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” during a House Rules Committee hearing, Frost called out his Republican colleagues […]

Education Department threatens funding for public schools over DEI-but doesn’t clarify what counts as DEI

The U.S. Department of Education on Thursday sent a memo to states receiving Title I funding threatening to withhold federal money from any public schools that do not eliminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The move is an escalation by the Trump administration in an effort to force public schools across the country to comply with an executive order—which characterizes DEI as “illegal discrimination”—signed by President Donald Trump. According to USA Today, the Education Department memo does not […]

Activists and education experts are slamming President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal to seek “restitution” for so-called “victims” who are discriminated against by education programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, also known as DEI. “It is consistent in tapping into an unjustifiable feeling — whether that be rage, ignorance or animus — that people have that’s really anchored in a desire to whitewash history,” Dr. David J. Johns, CEO and executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, told theGrio. The […]

Trump threatens to defund schools that teach about slavery

In a bizarre appearance on FOX News today, Donald Trump sat on a small couch with the network’s hosts and gave a jarring answer when posed with a scenario about what to do with schools that teach the truth about American history. “So let’s say you have a liberal city,” said FOX host, Brian Kilmeade. “Let’s let’s say it’s Los Angeles, San Diego, and they just decide … ‘Oh, we’re gonna get rid of…history,” Kilmeade posed. “We got new history. This is America built off the backs of slaves on stolen land, and that curriculum comes in.” “We don’t send them money,” Trump responded. “We would save half of our budget.” (Source: @theTNholler) Trump’s threat to withhold funding […]

Ohio state police to protect schools after furor over Haitian immigrants in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Ohio state police will help protect schools in a city at the center of a political furor over Haitian migrants, the governor announced Monday, while local officials canceled an annual celebration of cultural diversity in the fallout over former President Donald Trump’s false claims about pet-eating. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, has denounced the debunked rumors that spread online before Trump amplified them at last week’s presidential debate, saying there is no evidence of it. […]

Face-down restraint, the position in which George Floyd died, on verge of returning to Minn. schools

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota lawmakers are on the verge of a compromise that will give police officers who work in schools clearer authority to use force. Minnesota reacted to the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis officer with a series of police accountability measures that included restrictions on the use of force, such as ban on chokeholds. But a section of a broad education law enacted last year led around 40 police departments across the state […]

NYC teachers union sues mayor over steep cuts to public schools

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s teachers union is suing to block planned cuts to the city’s public schools, warning that steep budget reductions proposed by Mayor Eric Adams would weaken key education initiatives and violate state law. For months, Adams has argued that slashing city spending — including a $550 million cut in education funding — is necessary to offset the rising costs of New York’s migrant crisis. But in a lawsuit filed in state court on Thursday, […]
