The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Schools still helping families impacted by ICE - Southwest Voices Teachers and parents shed tears and asked neighbors at a community meeting for more help and resources as U.S. federal agents leave a long-lasting impact on schools.

“Our neighbors made 220 valentines for all of our home-bound children to get Valentines from neighbors that had never met,” Marissa said. www.southwestvoices.news/stories/scho...

Left un-checked, there will be confederate flags flying on public buildings in the South and even in D.C. within a year.

Educational lessons covering slavery & the civil war have been re-written. See PragerU. It will become unacceptable to discuss alternatives. Children will not know what we know.

Th erosion of civics education makes this lesson necessary. That’s why Trump says he loves “the poorly educated.”

Instead of blaming undocumented kids for the high cost of college, how about blaming the defense contractors?

How about blaming the billionaires who aren’t paying their taxes?

How about blaming an economic system that has not invested in the health and education of our country?

My 12 year old on Alysa Liu- "so technically she's not only a figure skater. She's an activist. Because she fought for her rights. She said "I'm only coming back if I get to do it my way and it's fun.""

Once again: the prevailing anti-intellectualism (the blazing contempt for universities, academics, scholarship) encompasses all political parties. Not a single party has the spine to argue for universities-whether its the Liberals in Canada, or Labor in the UK or the Democrats in the US.

One thing we don’t talk about enough: the last 20Yrs of disinvestment in arts, science, & the humanities. When you strip schools of philosophy, literature , creative practice, you don’t just cut budgets. You narrow imagination. Empathy is a skill. So is critical thinking. #Momsky #Pinks

"Instead of focusing on building up Russia, instead of making sure Russia doesn’t die out, instead of investing in roads, education.., the regime focuses on the worst traits in humans- meanness,hatred,lies,wars"

Nemtsov was killed by the Kremlin in 2015

Plato is one of the most famous ancient philosophers of all time. He also thought there were more than 2 genders & homosexuality was normal — that's why Texas A&M wants to censor him.

"How can a serious research university, an R1 university, censor Plato in a philosophy class?"

— Martin Peterson

This is yet another case of government funneling money into corporations instead of people. And it costs more and produces poorer results. Maybe the solution is to include community-proposed solutions in the RFI/RFP process. Otherwise it’s just incs versus incs.
