The ABA cannot claim to uphold professional standards while using accreditation to push ideological requirements. With 26+ compliance failures identified, @POTUS is weighing whether its accrediting arm should retain federal recognition.

NEW: @POTUS’ move to strip the ABA of federal recognition could reshape legal education. @DefendingEd’s @SarahPPerry explains how removing its gatekeeper status could curb ideological mandates and refocus law schools on producing excellent attorneys.

How does your state measure up?
@DefendingEd's RISE report scores all 50 states and D.C. across five education categories: parental rights, teacher policies, gender and sexuality, DEI, and foreign influence.

The proposed Head Start reforms would expand access to children nationwide.
It’s time to make federal education programs work better for the families they serve.

Ethnic studies programs are becoming a pathway for Palestine-related activism to enter K-12 classrooms, with activist groups developing curricula, training teachers, and distributing lessons nationwide.

I don't think I could send my child to a school that denies Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas.

🚨@DefendingEd filed a civil rights complaint with @usedgov’s OCR after Kalamazoo Public Schools and its teachers’ union established race-based staffing targets and preferences that can put race ahead of seniority.
This is amazing news and speaks volumes about @ClemsonUniv. Congratulations!
I'm pleased to announce that the Clemson U Board of Trustees has just voted to approve the creation of the Clemson Center for the Study of the American Founding.
We're going to Make the American Founding Great Again!!! And created by an immigrant to the USA no less! @elonmusk

🚨 Nearly 100% of public schools provide devices to students, and a quarter of children spend more than four hours of the school day on screens. @DefendingEd supports FCC safeguards and parental transparency.

HISD students are making remarkable academic strides, but the @HoustonChron would rather question the results than celebrate them. Education should be about helping kids succeed, not protecting a political narrative.
Terry Stoops retweeted
At UVA Law, faculty hiring practices appear to elevate identity-based preferences over merit, transforming academic appointments into an exercise in ideological selection.

.@DefendingEd's @theRhyenStaley warns that France offers a sobering glimpse of what happens when classrooms become incubators for political activism. Teachers' unions are already helping blur that line in America.

Under Biden, parents challenging school board policies became a federal concern. Five years ago, @DefendingEd filed FOIAs to investigate Garland’s response. Newly released @TheJusticeDept records reveal how early White House coordination began.
Terry Stoops retweeted
A Houston education coalition tied to teachers’ unions is pushing back on mandatory STAAR testing as HISD sees reading and math scores rise. Reinstating the status quo that failed students for years could jeopardize those gains.

@ActionPde is proud to support @RepJeffCrank's RELA Act. It is critical to protect religious liberties for all Education Freedom Tax Credit scholarship organizations and participants
Every family deserves the freedom to choose the education that's right for their child. The Education Freedom Tax Credit is expanding educational resources for students across the country, including here in Colorado.
But no family should lose access to these resources because of where their child goes to school. That's why today I introduced the RELA Act to ensure Education Freedom Tax Credit dollars reach every student, including those who attend private and religious schools.
What this means:
✅ No state can exclude private or religious schools;
✅ Scholarship Granting Organizations stay free from government control; and
✅ Families have more options for their child's education.
