@DrPrestonGreen Outstanding and informative!

I recently did a podcast for the National Rural Education Association on a law review I co-authored on the creation of "education preserves," which would protect rural school districts from voucher and charter school expansion. Here is the podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s05…

@ProjScientist I’m very late replying, but thank you Project Scientist for using Jim Crow’s Pink Slip to inform your great mission about girls and STEM!

(3/4) @ProjScientist we continue to deepen our understanding of racial inequities in our society. We are currently reading Jim Crow's Pink Slip by Leslie T. Fenwick, a powerful revelation about the systematic erasure of Black educators after the Brown v. Board decision.

(1/4) Today, we commemorate #Juneteenth — a historic day that symbolizes the end of slavery in the United States and a reminder of the struggles endured by African Americans. It is also an urgent call to dismantle systemic barriers and promote equal opportunities for all.

Thank you EdTrust!

@nhannahjones For an accurate view about these schemes, read Washington Post article by Leslie T. Fenwick, Urban School Reform Is about Land Development, Not Kids (in Valerie Strauss’ column)

It’s a lovely but delusional argument. Because poor children will never have the choices of wealthy people. The vouchers won’t pay for the schools the wealthy children attend and those schools won’t accept the poor students anyway. We should stop pretending vouchers exist due to concern for the poor. The entire reason public schools came into existence was to ensure quality education for students regardless of income. If people were really concerned about this they’d adequately fund and resource public schools to ensure access to quality education for the schools 90 percent of American students attend.
