Critical information about educating children with disabilities.
The 50th anniversary of IDEA is a moment to celebrate and take action. Before IDEA, millions of children with disabilities were denied access to quality education. With the anniversary this Saturday, NEA is sharing ways to talk about the importance of protecting students’ rights this holiday season.

“They took my cousin. He informed them he is a US citizen and his passport was in his pocket. We don’t know where they took him.”
This isn’t about deporting undocumented immigrants this is about going after people who are not white!

My dad's 1970 proposal to put the ERIC research database online. Today, 55 years later, I use it for my research, but probably not for long. @jillbarshay.bsky.social reports that ERIC will stop being updated this week after DOGE cut its budget, and it may fold completely. What a sad, terrible waste.
