And that’s a wrap. The end of three decades of Republican rule. Now, let’s help him hold it in November. People are sick of the heavy-handed attacks on our schools and the culture wars.

"We are not mad enough."
The gross misuse of deadly force by our government against us is unconscionable.
This administration's statements belie what we can see with our own eyes.The federal govt's actions today—both the killing and the cover-up—are a disgrace. Since the president will not, we must call on Congress to act to create accountability 4 this federal malfeasance.

If we really believe that Public Ed is essential for Americans, particularly our young people, we have to talk to and listen to everyone. My Fox Digital Op Ed
PresidentTrump is correct that states & local school boards should control students’ education. They do, and they have since the earliest days of our republic. But to gut the Department of Education—is about redistributing money & opportunity from the many to the few. www.foxnews.com/opinion/rand...
RANDI WEINGARTEN: Trump's decision to gut the Education Department is not only illegal, it's wrong
It is hard to imagine how 7.5 million kids with disabilities, 26 million kids from low-income families or 13 million young people who get financial aid for college won’t be disserved.
