L'état, c'est Trump. This new Trump EO ends independent agencies (FCC, Fed, FTC, etc.). Trump also declares himself sole arbiter of the law: "No employee of the executive branch... may advance an interpretation of the law ... that contravenes the President..." www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Regional Educational Laboratories are Congressionally mandated. They can't just be cancelled. Has someone sued? Via the Mathematica statement:

It is imperative that we educate the public on what is happening. I urge my colleagues in #EdResearch to engage in the public discourse. Ways the cuts & decimation of U.S. Dept of Ed will exacerbate teacher shortages and increase job loss in our local communities. www.ksby.com/san-luis-obi...

If your employer is caving to the Trumpists, and has announced an end to DEI and accessibility policies, it's past time to organize with your coworkers so that you're able to pressure your employer using a diversity of tactics Leak Slowdown Sabotage Strike Organize

So, we're not funding research on childhood cancers, but we are funding battery-powered mini tanks?

Notifications of ~$6M of contracts from the #USDOE to be terminated immediately. They were in the areas of #SPED & #BilingualEd "The grant is deemed to be inconsistent with, and no longer effectuates, Department priorities. See 2 C.F.R. 200.340(a)(4); see also 34 C.F.R. 75.253." #DumpsterFire

Derrick Bell's reminds us: The goal is DEFIANCE. Resist oppression, harass those who seek to harm us and our communities. We will not sacrifice Black & Brown people, Trans folks, immigrants, Disabled folks, and all of us at the intersections of multiple oppressions. Defiance is the way forward.

Closing out 2024. This arrived by 🐌 mail from EdTrust-West b/c I missed the in-person celebration in Oakland in the fall. 💙💙💙 🥂(figuratively) cheers to a new year, prepping for a book project 🫢 during my soon-to-be sabbatical year.

Thrilled to present at #AACTE25! In our session on bilingual & SPED teacher residency program, we'll share our story & insights from work incl practice & research implications for the field. tinyurl.com/2svmb6p5 #EdPrep #SeenHeardReflected #TeacherResidency #BilingualEd #SPED #TeacherEducation

I guess I'll start by sharing some neat data. Because in the policy research world, that's a polite way to say hello. Nearly 1 in 5 US undergraduate students have dependent children. 70% of those student parents are women. Helping them complete degrees pays off big, for them and their children.

Glad to see a swift reversal from Georgetown Law on its first decision, which was almost certainly a Title IX violation. #EduSky #ParentingStudents www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
