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.

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.

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
