In 2021, we submitted various policy recommendations to @usedgov on ways to end disproportionate discipline of students of color, including eliminating the practice of corporal punishment. We thank @usedgov for their commitment to #EndCorporalPunishment. edtru.st/3FI1g5M

We are deeply concerned about the Parents Bill of Rights Act (HR 5) recently introduced in the House of Reps. This legislation is divisive & designed to politicize our schools rather than provide what parents really want: a great education for children edtru.st/3l07l6a
