The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is our federal law protecting kids w/ disabilities. If the Secretary of Education isn't familiar with it, she should do her homework before making cuts to statutorily required activities. 📚 #IDEA #ProtectOurKids"

"We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to Whites, because their immune system is better than ours." ---RFK Jr. So what vaccine schedule should I have received? His answer was dangerous. I will be voting no.

We've just experienced a great tragedy, and the President of the United States has already rushed to politicize it — jumping to outrageous conclusions and undermining ongoing investigations. His comments were grotesque and outrageous and he owes the American people an apology.

Kash Patel is maybe Trump’s most dangerous nominee. He wants to the use the FBI to target a political enemies list. Like Trump, he thinks the number one enemy of our nation isn’t China or Russia or rapists or murderers. It’s Democrats.

This is Inspector General Mike Ware, who was just fired by Donald Trump. He just sent a blistering letter to Trump slamming him for multiple federal laws by firing him and his colleagues across the federal government. RETWEET if you stand with Ware against Trump!

#Project2025 walks back civil rights for children w/ disabilities by recommending IDEA funding to states w/ no strings attached. A recommendation that would sink families trying to ensure their children receive a free, high-quality, & individualized education to meet their needs. @DisRightsTx @CECMembership @TexasTribune @TexasAFT @DianeRavitch #txlege

With the 2024 Senate map favoring the GOP, it's crucial that we not only defend our Senate majority but also secure victories in these 6 key Senate races. Can you please chip in $24 (or $4 per state) to defend our slim majority and hold these critical seats?

Any takers here? Such a good question from Jarrod.
I am looking for supporting research that identifies budget solutions for increasing teacher salaries that do not include closing schools and cutting jobs. Have a paper or report that you would recommend? I'm all ears.

Thank you Sen. Duckworth. This cartoon is despicable.
Did you see Roll Call's ableist cartoon yesterday? The daily experience of Americans with disabilities has no business being the punchline in any joke.

This is the ROI on the federal investment in leadership preparation in special education. Kudos Dr. Holbrook! @HECSEducation @TED_CEC @ED_Sped_Rehab @AACTE @brennan_kait
Over the course of my 4 years at UNG in one class, I've taught 327 pre-service teachers in #SPED.  Assuming that each of these teachers is still teaching and each teaches appx 15 students per year, the reach I have had on children across the area is over 11,000 children.

I miss that little blue bird. It was a symbol we all shared, childlike and kind of charming. An homage to something natural replaced by a soulless X. What a perfect symbol for the larger problem of our times.
