Few things are more un-American than banning books because they don’t conform to your personal worldview - it's good to see parents challenging schools that would do so

One step closer to making rate reform happen in California! Today, SB 380 passed out of Senate Education Committee. The child care crisis is not a woman’s issue, it is an economic issue and I am grateful for all my colleagues who spoke in support. #CareCantWait

#OurTurnTwitterChat The saying goes "the more you know, the more you grow." Access to information is the primary way for all of us to learn about the experiences of others that differ from our own.

We're glad to hear that an agreement has been reached between LA Unified and teachers that benefits students, educators, and families

This agreement with UTLA is a necessary step not only to make Los Angeles Unified the district of choice for families but also the district of choice for teachers and employees.
