The only question we need to ask ourselves with the impact of this proposed carbon capture project is “And how are the children?”
If the answer is anything but “All the children are well,” then we have lost our moral imperative.

I am running in Louisiana’s 1st Congressional District next year and these decisions about education are a big reason why. As a special education teacher of 17 years, Rep. Scalise has stood by in the name of executive loyalty and enabled this.
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

We don’t have a lot of new information regarding the mass firing of the remaining Department of Education employees; it appears the Trump administration has used the government shutdown as an opportunity to finish destroying the department of ed. If there are no employees, it exists in name only.

The 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina was 2 weeks ago & the news cycle covered the storm’s devastation and impact on the city and surrounding regions, especially education. We cannot talk about the education in New Orleans without talking about Hurricane Katrina.
When New Orleans schools reopened after Katrina, most of the city's educators didn't get their jobs back. Instead, they were often replaced with young people who were new to town — and new to teaching.
20 years ago, New Orleans fired its teachers. It's been rebuilding ever since

Most Americans will never get to ask billionaires like Education Secretary Linda McMahon, “what do you need a tax cut for?”
So I asked. Republican officials may think that’s rude. But we deserve to know.

The head of FEMA reportedly said during a briefing that he wasn't aware the U.S. had a hurricane season, leaving staffers "baffled" and "confused"

It was not clear to agency staff whether he meant it literally, as a joke, or in some other context.
