This. Power to the states (but only the ones adhering to our specific vision for social policy. If you are not, we will use every tool in our arsenal to punish you into compliance. We will also use tools that aren't in our arsenal).

Great read on what U.S. Dept of Ed actually does “For every $1 ED gets from Congressional approps, it spends ~ 3.4 cents to make money flow, enforce the law, & ensure someone picks up phone when one of the tens of millions of student loan borrowers needs help” www.slowboring.com/p/what-the-d...

As fat cats who have never set foot inside of a public school work to convince us that public schools are a failure, we need to question who is shaping our ideas about the state of our schools. @lutzfernandez.bsky.social @michaelcralph.bsky.social

"Even in the midst of a raging culture war, Americans are still pragmatic people who maintain practical interests in their communities and the institutions that anchor them ... The trick, then, is to sound an alarm now that can be heard across the partisan divide."

If you have extra funds and want to support an org doing essential work to fight the actions against public education and ed research of this administration, @edlawcenter.bsky.social is doing hard, critical work and could use anything you can contribute.

"The chaos in Washington isn't just in Washington," Leeper said "The dollars they are cutting are dollars that come to us, the taxpayers. This is our money that they are stealing from us, and they are crippling our future by making these radical and short sighted choices."

As we prepare (/brace ourselves) for the new presidential administration, what do we know about how presidential engagement in K-12 education policy shapes the politics of education? Alyssa Barone and I are thrilled to announce our new article (online early) in Education Finance and Policy 🧵

Exactly! There are not enough hours in the day to add context to all the misleading posts about local schools. And community members don't contribute their own positive experiences with schools because they fear backlash from Comment Cathy. All this makes FB such an effective tool for disruptors.

This is fascinating and certainly seems to match my anecdotal experience.

Absolutely fascinating article about how few (white) actors with hidden agendas use social media to trash public schools and prop up private and charter options. Also, this type of behavior is pervasive across political contexts (here's looking at you, DC Urban Moms and Dads).

My former student @ashleyjcarey.bsky.social has a fabulous new article out, which everyone should read. (If you don't have access to AJE, I'm sure she's willing to share a pre-pub version.)

New article alert from the wise @ashleyjcarey.bsky.social examining how social media shapes (and distorts) public perceptions of school quality. A truly original contribution familiar to anyone who has ever thrown up their hands at an online discussion www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

So excited to share my first solo-authored article! I find that FB presents an accessible tool for special interest actors to disrupt public education. Viral algorithms give Comment Cathy more power than ever to shape knowledge about local public schools: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

I'm revising the qualitative methods course for our EdD students. I'm curious how others, whose programs use an improvement science approach for dissertation, structure their qual. courses. If anyone has thoughts or would be willing to share syllabi, I'd appreciate it! #academicsky
