Mass public education is one of our civilization's greatest accomplishments. It's worth fighting for.

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work.

Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.

OH GOP playbook for education:
1) introduce vouchers as an "equity" initiative,
2) gradually expand voucher budgets to all families with zero accountability for private schools,
3) slowly starve public education
4) slowly remove local control by state overreach

DeWine's budget includes less money for Ohio's public schools, more for vouchers and charters
An analysis of the numbers in Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's proposed budget shows there are cuts to K-12 public school funding, but increases for vouchers and charter schools.

These attacks will devastate kids who've finally gotten the support they need to thrive in school.
Several red state AGs including mine are suing to dismantle 504s in schools.

Please, call your reps and AGs to demand they let all children learn in public schools. The end goal is to delete all special education services. All accommodations.

‘Paper mills’ are contaminating the world’s scholarly output with fake papers that hinder research. Lifesaving biomedical fields are especially hard hit.

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Not just the National Institutes of Health, now the National Science Foundation is put on pause.
Reminder: research is a multi-step process. Pausing the peer review panels by itself creates months of delay.
I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔
