From gutting @usedgov to defunding essential programs, Republicans are hellbent on attacking public education in the U.S.
Yesterday, I hosted a spotlight forum to highlight the dangers of these attacks. I won’t stay quiet while they rob our students of their future.

Tomorrow I’m testifying at the U.S. Senate’s K–12 Education Spotlight Forum to represent students with learning disabilities and their families. We must protect the rights, funding, and future of public education.

Students with #disabilities are over-represented among students experiencing #homelessness, making up 20% of the 1.1 million students identified in 2020-21. Updated federal guidance protects their educational rights! ➡️ bit.ly/3tFQGsF #LeadwithLD #LDawarenessmonth

Social-emotional learning can have a powerful positive influence on kids. But students with disabilities may be excluded from SEL for a variety of reasons. I spoke to @ncldorg @drchriscip & @cfchildren about why, and how to make SEL fully inclusive.

Students with disabilities find themselves funneled into the juvenile justice system. According to the report, as many as 70% of youths in the juvenile justice system have a disability.
