My newest looks at conservatives’ fears over the influence of Chinese investors in American education and how Trump’s new school voucher scheme could give these investors a windfall. counterpunch.org/2026/03/27/how…

For decades, education policy has emphasized top-down, heavy-handed governance and privatization schemes such as charter schools. That's changing. But reporters and pundits are ignoring that and Republicans are trying to kill the movement. progressive.org/public-schools…

Thank you @jeffbcdm for writing about my book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers, and how the “authoritarian playbook” always includes efforts to destroy the credibility of teachers & dismantle public schools. znetwork.org/znetarticle/wi…

New poll shows a mere 38% approve of Trump’s handling of education. There is and has been an opening on education for Dems. Problem is that they, by & large, don’t know what to do w/ education either. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

My newest: With the help of the U.S. Supreme Court and congressional Republicans, Trump is turning public education into the great unequalizer. nationofchange.org/2025/07/30/how…

Has the job of educating the nation's future citizens and leaders gotten tougher since the pandemic? Rural educators I spoke to said "Yes," but there's a strategy they're using to help overcome the challenges. progressive.org/public-schools…

While the Republican Big Ugly budget bill's cuts to Medicaid and climate change programs have gotten the most attention, flying under the radar is a huge tax give-away to the rich masquerading as a 'school choice' scheme. My latest: counterpunch.org/2025/06/09/tru…

The results are often not good for kids or communities when charters set up next to heavy industries and toxic sties, roads become less safe, and treasured open spaces increasingly vanish. Fortunately, the 2 communities I write about fought back by upholding zoning laws.

I was thinking about the "Abundance" agenda while working on this article about what happens when government officials overlook regulations and offer incentives for charter to open in industrial zones and preserved farmland. znetwork.org/znetarticle/ho…
