Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” invests over $50 BILLION per year for vouchers that let private schools pick and choose which students to educate.

The American people do not want to privatize public education, they want to strengthen it.

“It seems that the state has decided that it's not enough to ban thousands of books,” said UCF political science professor Aubrey Jewett. "We have to make it easier and spend millions of dollars to help people ban even more apparently."

Thanks to everyone who came out to protest against racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia and all forms of bigotry on the DCPS school board!

Trump announces reparations for white people. He says he will ask the Justice Department to penalize colleges that consider diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and fine them so he can pay “restitution” to white people who he considers the real victims of racial discrimination.

“Hate is taught, learned and mimicked and will be unabated unless we are diligent in calling it out and having a zero-tolerance policy, especially for those in elected positions of power like the school board.”

Today marks one year since Angela, A.J. and Jerrald were taken from us. Let's honor their memory by seeing each other's full humanity, confronting prejudice and bigotry, and supporting disinvested communities.

Gov. DeSantis announced the appointment of Daniel Foganholi to the State Board of Education, beginning Nov 20th. Foganholi, who DeSantis had appointed to the Broward School Board, lost that seat after getting trounced Tuesday, finishing last in a three-person field with less than 20% support in the District 1 race. #Floriduh

For everyone who sat out or didn’t make the time to vote in the primary election…. Apathy has allowed the #project2025 education agenda to infiltrate our @DuvalSchools board.

Elections have consequences. Buckle up.
