When a leader attacks public education, they’re attacking democracy.
Here’s what Trump’s agenda for schools really means—authoritarianism in the classroom.

It's not "budgetary Twister," it's willfully violating Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution.
Just because President Trump chooses to ignore Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 does not mean that the NYT should pretend Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 does not exist.

Grateful to @daisymsc.bsky.social and @jbf1755.bsky.social for inspiring me to teach about Contingency to my high school students tomorrow. I am also personally grateful for the nudge to question all the false inevitabilities I'm spinning in my head for this present moment.

I Am on Kirk’s “Professor Watchlist.” I Know How It Destroys Civil Debate.
I deeply value free speech and debate. The watchlist created by Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA is anathema to both.
