Dear Parents: I've heard you. Read more: foxnews.com/opinion/linda-mc…

Dear @EDSecMcMahon @Linda_McMahon, Thank you for hearing our voices and for this clear commitment to protecting American children who receive special education and related services under the federal IDEA. I’m cautiously optimistic that stronger HHS & DOJ partnerships will finally deliver real accountability on #ChildFind noncompliance and FAPE denials — too many families have waited years for states and districts to follow the law. Looking forward to measurable results for every IDEA-eligible American child. #SpecialEducationMatters

Encouraged by @usedgov's new interagency agreements with @TheJusticeDept and @HHSGov. A promising step in the right direction to tackle race/sex discrimination, protect student privacy, include parents in decisions, and streamline services for students with special needs.

A statement from Defending Education:

NEW: Audio recordings from the University of Nebraska are fueling concerns that the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom views conservative ideas as a threat rather than a legitimate part of academic debate. That's not academic freedom. That's ideological gatekeeping.

🚨NEW REPORT: @DefendingEd has identified 72 law schools across 24 states that still maintain DEI offices and programs within legal education. 👇 defendinged.org/investigatio…

.@Columbia will reintroduce SAT/ACT score requirements for admission, joining a growing number of elite schools that have recognized that admissions policies should help identify students who are prepared.

This conduct is beneath the dignity of the office of a General Assembly Member. These two women have endorsed my opponent. This video is just one example that my opponent’s supporters are among the most unserious and unproductive members of the legislature. If elected, he too will be among this cadre of elected officials who have become an embarrassment to the state of NC. #ncpol

Every dollar should be focused on improving student achievement, not DEI initiatives.

With only 3 in 10 students nationwide reading at a proficient level, professors at the University of California, Berkeley, say they are assigning less reading as fewer students complete the work. Teachers shouldn't have to lower standards for students to pass.

I've never believed in coasting, and I don't intend to start now. The same energy I pour into our education mission every day is the same energy I'll bring to earning every possible vote this fall. National headwinds have put this race squarely on the radar of Democrats and their allies. That's their right. But I'm not interested in political theater. I'm interested in results. The choice before South Carolina is simple: continue building on the progress we've made together...or go back to the old ideas and failed approaches that held too many children back. I know which future I'm fighting for. mailchi.mp/ellenforeducation…

This one’s for you, North Carolina

Read our latest report, AccreditED, which documents how the ABA has used its monopoly power to embed DEI mandates throughout legal education, shaping who is admitted, who is hired, and what future lawyers are taught to believe. 🔗defendinged.org/investigatio…

RI will not be able to opt in because both chambers of the legislature just passed bills that require their approval in order to do so. And they will never approve it. Such a sad tale here...

🚨 BREAKING: Documents obtained by @DefendingEd show how the Oregon Education Association is pushing progressive tax hikes on the wealthy, building political power, and funding left-wing activism while operating in the red.
