Many Medicaid recipients do not know they receive it because Medicaid is called different things in different states. The public narrative of Medicaid focuses on a distant other, but 40% of US children and 60% of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. Just SOME of the names by state are below:

Bottom line- you morally can’t ask teachers to erase history, and that is what the Trump administration is doing. Learn from history, don’t erase it. So.. educators are fighting back. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

As a retired teacher who taught in public schools for 34 years, I am disgusted by the recent posts by the US Department of Education. School vouchers do not improve education and they cost tax payers more. Research areas that have implemented them. Those that support them have been sold a lie.

"When people come for our kids, our professions, and our communities, we fight like hell." Trump's reckless attacks on public schools and working families won't go unanswered. NEA members are organizing, mobilizing, and demanding action. Read the full story here: bit.ly/4hESrtX

This order on vouchers will hijack federal money used to level the playing field for poor and disadvantaged kids and hand it directly to unaccountable private operators. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Every time Trump speaks live on TV or even when a video of him speaking pops up, I have to click off of it or change the channel. I can read his words, but can not watch him speak. Is this a weird psychological/physical reaction? Is there a name for it? Anyone else or just me? 🤔☺️

What have we become when we are detaining American citizens because they are speaking a language other than English? Deplorable. Makes me sick to my stomach

This is just one of the many outrageous posts this week on the US Department of Education FB page. I do not know who has taken over the page, but it does not reflect the view of public educators. Feel free to visit their page and leave a comment. Public funds belong in public schools.

💯 Don’t expect teachers to protect students with their lives during a school shooting and then expect them to open the doors and let ICE in to traumatize children in their schools.
