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.

It was a pleasure to speak with Maiken Scott of @thepulse.whyy.org about Vietnamese refugees, trauma, parenting, & more to mark the upcoming 50th anniversary of war & diaspora. My interview is the last 12 minutes or so of this thoughtful episode.
It's been 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War — a conflict that forever changed the lives of veterans, refugees, and those still in Southeast Asia
On this episode, the war's legacy and the quiet, ongoing efforts toward reconciliation.

The sad irony of our unconstitutional moment is that the perspectives of foreign students can be particularly valuable when foreign affairs dominate American discourse.
It’s a dreadful thing to declare to immigrants or foreign students, “Welcome to the land of the free: Now watch what you say.”

I'm ashamed and disgusted that University of Virginia's Board of Visitors voted to end DEI, just a few years after literal Nazis marched with torches on Grounds, and I said so via email. Addresses for you to speak up, too: president@virginia.edu, boardofvisitors@virginia.edu wapo.st/4bvXN8M
University of Virginia board votes to end DEI office
UVA is the latest school to dismantle its office of diversity, equity and inclusion, and some say other Virginia universities could follow.
