Here's why your education friends had a real rough one today. It's... it's the entire education data collection apparatus of the United States.

Screenshot of the article that reads: The Institute of Education Sciences, the research arm of the U.S. Department of Education, appears to be the latest agency in the crosshairs of President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency office. Dozens of researchers and contractors received notices Feb. 10, directing them to immediately stop work on research projects and program evaluations financed by IES, a federal agency with a roughly $800 million budget, sources say. It was not immediately clear which—or how many—of IES’ hundreds of contracts are affected, though one source estimated roughly 170.

Education researchers are not okay tonight. Bring coffee tomorrow if you need anything from us.

They're dismantling the Institute for Education Sciences to create the illusion of meritocracy. Because no data means no evidence of systemic inequities.

The piece of advice I keep giving over and over again in this moment is:

Stop trying to convince people to care. Focus your energy on working with the people who already understand how important it is.

Call script:
YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE]. YOU: I am calling on [HOUSE MEMBER/SENATOR] to speak out against President Trump’s actions on Monday in freezing all federal aid. This is blatantly illegal; the Executive Branch can’t unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid. YOU: MOC must take action, and clarify how they will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed. YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENT]
