This is the US Ed Anti-DEI website designed to report teachers. Can we use fake emails, schools to jam it up? Who can help? enddei.ed.gov

TPG grant awarded 2 years ago to apply a residency model to future teachers (placed in a school/district & teacher candidates receive a stipend). It had the word diversity in it (to create a diverse pool of teacher candidates). Completely canceled immediately. Residents will not receive funding.

It happened. My colleague’s federal grant regarding teacher residency (training future teachers) got cancelled today. I was a researcher on that grant and was contributing social studies expertise. I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am. We don’t need teachers anyway, right?

Opinion | Plant the Seed of Environmental Justice in Communities Brittany Surratt writes about climate change and pollution that disproportionately affects Black farmers in the South.

"In communities like mine where there’s great economic inequality, climate change and environmental injustice come together like the 'perfect,' awful storm," Brittany Surratt writes.

We had a Blenheim, too- Bandit’s kennel mate when we adopted them. He passes away about a year ago.

Hi! I’m Sunny- and this is Bandit- our rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, he’s 13 1/2 (we’ve had him 12 1/2 years), in good health except he’s deaf. What a cute little old man he is!
