Do you know why Republicans want to cut public education funding.

We need to start paying attention to more education and free education not dismantling it and making it only for the rich.

What the Assault on Public Education Means for Kids with Disabilities: shorturl.at/8msP1

We’re NOT going to allow Trump to starve students and teachers across the country of the funding and support they rely on through the Department of Education. Add your name to urge Congress to protect the Department of Education:

"DOGE" cut a program in Spotsylvania to help high schoolers with disabilities go to college or work—and they're not stopping here. They're going after other education programs, harming students and our economy. I won’t stand for it. www.fxbgadvance.com/p/the-executive-order-project-education-960

The Department of Education told schools to stop DEI efforts or risk losing federal dollars. The president of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation warns it won't be quick and easy.

“Why put a girl through that much math to have her end up in a milkmaid dress having unlimited number of children anyway? Who has time for STEM when birth control isn’t available“ open.substack.com/pub/emilytay...

In a world of ignorant haters, be a Susan B. Anthony. #Resist

We’re trying to make it easier for Americans and friends to dissent, resist and support each other. Show us what you got.

Tell your local school board to take a stand and adopt policies that keep schools safe for all students, no matter their immigration status: indivisi.org/safe-schools

These are Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division soldiers escorting the Little Rock Nine in 1957. Fort Campbell is erasing *its own* history.

Even as she expressed support for key Trump policies—including private-school voucher programs and bans on trans girls and women from sports—McMahon’s scant experience in education was on display as she misstated, or failed to answer key questions about, federal education law.

This goes further than ensuring only rich kids can go to college - it ensures poor kids stay poor and become indentured servants. The rich need mindless workers to make them Money.

I want to be the Destroyer of Education, please.

There is nothing more important than our kids. And their chance to succeed. That's what education does. Speaking as a mom and middle school teacher, I know, knowledge is power. Protect the Department of Education.

Nazis.

We must save #education. Do NOT allow history to be rewritten.

Here is one reason Musk-Trump want to cut funding to the NIH "Project 2025 — a policy blueprint written by Trump’s allies — tied indirect costs to DEI work, saying that a cap would “help reduce federal taxpayer subsidization of leftist agendas.”" www.chronicle.com/article/rese...

🤬🤬🤬

Not just the end of American science but the purposeful destruction of post secondary education. This will decimate colleges and force an industry wide collapse just as admissions decline due to falling birth rates. The end goal is to destroy economic mobility for women and people of color.

Potential Canadian Travel Decline Could Deliver Economic Blow to U.S. Tourism. Not just Canada. Hearing from Euro fam & friends they are delaying travel to US until the #TurdReichRedux regime comes to an end. #ETTD www.travelagewest.com/Travel/USA-C... via @TravelAgeWest

US higher education had become a world-class sector, one of the greatest strengths of this country, even with the amount of work still to be done in making it more just and equitable. But a cabal of mediocre whites, out of pure spite and belligerent stupidity, have decided to choke it to death.

On the bright side, this excellent from the CA Dept of Education: "our offer is this: *nothing.*"

If Trump dismantles the Dept. of Education, he will be jeopardizing public education for our most vulnerable communities. Rural schools. Low-income areas. Special ed teachers and students with disabilities. Our families, kids, and teachers deserve more.

So it turns out that compared to centralized distribution of digital information on the web, printed material in libraries provided a kind of distributed defense against the casual whims of an authoritarian government aiming to rewrite history.

“Some federal employees at the Education Department have been placed on administrative leave for previously attending a diversity training.”

Unfortunately, the biggest source of information today... the internet... has been taken over by billionaires... who profit and gain power from spreading misinformation, hate and often misrepresented religious dogma...

My creative nonfiction students and I talked about Trump's "Patriotic Education" executive order today, erasing so much history, compelling teachers to tell lies. I felt my throat catch. I saw some students' eyes get red. Here's what's at stake: slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/patriotic-...

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

⚠️ ‼️ A very informative video - please watch!

Here it is. This is abominable.

Education always stymies MAGA plans and programs. Less education leads to more MAGA unchristian thinking.

Cutting off grants to academia, pausing clinical trials, etc., is key to this administration’s plan to kill higher education. Targeting intellectuals is textbook fascism.

Book bans are censorship and violate our rights. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Dear scared students, In my classroom, I don’t care about your legal status or your pronouns, and I will barricade my door if ICE or a school shooter tries to get in. I will also always refer to you as my kids, because for ten months, you are. Sincerely, an American teacher
