“The far right is ultimately fighting a losing war. . . Our schools are awash in varied ideas and students that challenge MAGA myths.” @BloomfieldDavid @BklynCollege411 @GC_CUNY By @L_willen @hechingerreport hechingerreport.org/column-in-just…

“This is a political imperative for @GovKathyHochul. Everybody is calling for some solution to students and children’s addiction to #cellphones.” @BloomfieldDavid @BklynCollege411 @GC_CUNY By @Jill_Jorgensen @NY1 ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

“There’s not a 1 to 1 correspondence between monetary inputs & performance outcomes. @NYCSchools pay a lot more than just teacher salaries, but those expenses may not derive better performance.” @BloomfieldDavid @GC_CUNY @BklynCollege411 By @AneetaBhole nypost.com/2025/01/17/us-…

“@BloomfieldDavid, the @BklynCollege411 @GC_CUNY researcher, said @teachcardona . . . struggled to effectively communicate the importance of public education.” By Brooke Schultz @educationweek edweek.org/policy-politic…

Vladeck seemingly "bucked the mayor," but her stance is consistent with DOE policy aimed at keeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of NYC schools, says @BloomfieldDavid

“@LVladeck’s call to support @FlorenceProject is consistent with @NYCSchools policies to uphold immigrant student rights, and to hold immigration authorities to their legal obligations.” @BloomfieldDavid @BklynCollege411 @GC_CUNY By @SusanBEdelman @nypost nypost.com/2025/01/04/us-…

“Direct [US] ed funding could be cut. But if transportation is cut, or other areas of massive federal aid, the [state] budget may have to adjust away from ed to fill other gaps.” @BloomfieldDavid @BklynCollege411 @GC_CUNY By @julianshenberro @ChalkbeatNY chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/0…

@reemadamin @Chalkbeat Happy Holidays, Reema! Missing you here but you’re doing great work there. Hope the deeply deserved recharging goes well. ❤️

And with this story, me and the entire @Chalkbeat team are on a winter recess through Jan. 1. I've begged my colleagues to not scoop us too hard while we're out. Our bar for news will be pretty high. See you in 2025! Unless something insane happens before then! Which lol

So how should they talk about the coming Trump administration? chalkbeat.org/newyork/2024/1…

How should #teachers talk about Trump? Here’s what I told those ‘fearful of speaking the truth.’ @ChalkbeatNY, TY editor @GabiBirkner chalkbeat.org/newyork/2024/1…

Statewide referenda rejecting vouchers in two ruby red states in this past election show that, after two centuries, public education is still a bipartisan project. But Republican politicians sadly don’t care what their own voters want on this issue. bostonglobe.com/2024/11/30/opi…

“It sounds like he would eliminate a huge bureaucracy but in practice, assuming program continuation, @usedgov bureaucratic responsibilities would be diffused, not eliminated.” BloomfieldDavid @BklynCollege411 @GC_CUNY By @BrendanRascius @mcclatchy miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

Very useful from @Jill_Jorgensen on Trump education policies’ likely impact on urban schools, with @BloomfieldDavid and @PallasAaron ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

@DerekWBlack More likely to weaponize @usedgov & OCR than eliminate

There’s a big difference between imposing tariffs & eliminating the Department of Education. The president has some unilateral power on the first & none on the second. More important, red states depend more on Dept. of Ed & fed $$ than anyone. newrepublic.com/post/188202/do…

“We're worried about chronic absenteeism already. If people feel they have to go underground to avoid deportation or other harassment by the federal government, that would be a big deal too.” @BloomfieldDavid @BklynCollege411 @GC_CUNY By @Jill_Jorgensen ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…
