Do you want to be rich? Or just have a government responsive to your needs? There is a place where both are possible. Worth the watch. Thanks for sharing my Norwegian colleague Tony Burner. www.ted.com/talks/harald...

The United States' people chose to return to the White House a person who lacks diplomatic skills or any understanding of international relations. If you voted for him, watch this whole press conference (including all of his nonsense ramblings). www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_EN...

First they said, "we don't do CRT at the K-12 level." Then they said, "we don't do DEI at the K-12 level." Next, they'll say, "we don't do belonging at the K-12 level." See the slippery slope? Say "CRT, DEI, and belonging is as American as Apple pie." And if you want to end it, you're anti-American.

Would be unfortunate if this new "report your school's DEI" website by US Department of Education was flooded with with complaints about how censoring DEI hurts students/has a negative effect on learning (might want to avoid using real info, because you know, authoritarianism). enddei.ed.gov

I am so deeply embarrassed and appalled by my country's current government. New England has an incredibly strong relationship with Canada and it should be the model for how two nations can be partners. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/27/n...

Aren't there any other possible education experts that can be a regular guest on @wgbh.org's "Boston Public Radio" than Paul Reville? He offers a very narrow perspective on most issues and often speaks as an expert when he is not. It is completely frustrating for anyone who knows about education.
