The #NY State #Education Dept issued a defiant response to #Trump’s threats to pull federal #funding from #PublicSchools over #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs, a remarkable departure from recent conciliatory approaches of other institutions. A day earlier, the federal govt issued a memo to education ofcls across the nation, telling them to confirm the elimination of all programs it argues *unfairly* promote #DEI.

There's a deadline, and the Sec'y of Ed is still clueless as to what may constitute a "violation." She don't know art, she just knows what she likes:

"The memo included a certification letter that state and local school officials must sign and return to the department within 10 days, even as the administration has struggled to define which programs would violate its interpretation of civil rights laws."

Ride 4A Reason 2025Tara Choe HORTON - Ride 4A Reason 2025On April 26, I will be participating in Ride for a Reason 2025, a bike ride from Oakland to Sacramento, to raise funds for public education in Oakland and Alameda. My fundraising goal is $250, and I am asking for your help to reach it! Ride for a Reason is more than a bike ride—it’s a local movement to support eleven public schools in Oakland and Alameda, working toward a collective fundraising goal of $200,000. As the parent of an Oakland Unified School District graduate (Peralta Elementary, Claremont Middle, Oakland Technical High School), I have witnessed the fruits of a good public education, and I care deeply about keeping California public schools strong and accessible for all students. This year, Oakland Unified faces a serious funding crisis, and I am highly motivated to support my community’s school district and help ensure that every student has access to a high-quality, public K-12 education. This cause impacts all of us, as today’s students are the future of California. Please consider making a gift of any amount to support my bike ride and this important cause. Your contribution will provide essential resources for these public schools, making a positive impact on the lives of many students. Whether you give $10 or $100, your generosity will make a difference. Together, let’s keep California’s public education system excellent and free for all students. Thank you!

Americans United · Public schools: The home front of a white Christian Nationalist war against a united America - Americans UnitedThe same year as Brown v. Board, the United Daughters of the Confederacy published a new edition of their Confederate Catechism for Children. Originally published in 1904 — and frequently republished and modified thereafter — the white supremacist, slavery-defending pamphlet teaches Southern white children the Lost Cause, a false, romanticized accounting of the Old South as righteous and just in enslaving Black people.

"Public schools have always been the epicenter of the right-wing culture war since the Supreme Court ruled segregation was unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. Abortion, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights were eventually added to the never-ending list of right-wing grievances."

#PortlandME teachers, parents join national #protests against #Trump’s cuts to #education

Teachers from Deering High, Rowe Elementary and Presumpscot Elementary held a 'walk-in' Wednesday in a show of support for public education amid cuts to the U.S. #DepartmentOfEducation.

by Riley Board, March 19, 2025

"'Education is a right, that is why we have to fight,' a group of educators, parents and teachers chanted outside Deering High School early Wednesday morning. To a chorus of loud honks from passing cars on Stevens Avenue, they waved signs opposing staff cuts to the federal Department of Education and other actions President Donald Trump has taken that could affect public education.
The group of about 80 were participating in a nationwide walk-in organized by the National Education Association, the country’s largest teachers union. More than 100 similar events took place across 26 states; the event was scheduled for Wednesday because it’s the day that federal elected officials are returning to their home districts as Congress goes to recess.

"'Now is the time to send a message: Their decisions in Washington, D.C., matter here at home,' the NEA said in a statement on its website."

[...]

"Kerrie Dowdy, president of the Portland Education Association, the union that represents teachers in the district, said the vast majority of all American students, including 95% of students with #disabilities, attend #PublicSchools.

"'All students benefit from programs run by the Department of Education, and we’re here today to protect our students and to protect our public schools,' Dowdy said."

Tiffany Justice, of #MomsForLiberty, touted the launch of the portal, highlighting it as an opportunity for parents to push back against "critical [race] theory, *rogue* sex education, & *divisive* ideologies." She added: "Now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools."
