VICTORY! A federal court has ruled that Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and the U.S. Department of Education cannot divert desperately needed money away from public schools and into private schools!
This is a huge win for public education and sends a clear message that Secretary DeVos cannot use illegal means to advance her agenda of funneling scarce public resources to private education
The lawsuit was led by @NAACP, public school parents and school districts across the country and aimed to protect critical COVID-19 aid for public schools & their students
Plaintiffs are represented by @SPLCenter @mungertolles and @EdLawCenter. The organizations collaborate on @PFPSorg—a campaign to ensure that public funds for education are used to maintain, support & strengthen public schools.

Exclusive: Ryan Balch, who says he marched with Kyle Rittenhouse and a contingent of militia conducting armed patrols in Kenosha, WI, promoted far-right, Nazi and white supremacist rhetoric on his social media, including a video featuring Hitler, a @Hatewatch investigation found.
Balch, 31, has not been accused of a crime or been linked to the shooting by law enforcement. He volunteered info about this acquaintance with Rittenhouse on his Facebook page.
But @Hatewatch tied Balch to a Twitter account that indicates he was immersed in white supremacy propaganda. At the time he was patrolling the streets of Kenosha with a firearm, Balch was featuring an image promoting the “boogaloo” movement as his Facebook cover image.

The Republican National Committee has caved to white supremacists and hate groups.

This resolution is an attack on our definition of hate groups in order to excuse the Trump administration's history of working with those who malign entire groups of people — including #BlackLivesMatter, #immigrants, #Muslims and the #LGBTQ community — with dehumanizing rhetoric.
Since @RealDonaldTrump first ran for president, he welcomed the support of anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant groups, like the Family Research Council and the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

🚨#BREAKING: We just filed a notice of appeal on behalf of a 14 y/o #GA student who was permanently expelled after being accused of an off-campus misdemeanor that was later dismissed.

@GwinnettSchools🗣️harsh disciplinary tactics push students of color out of the classroom. Image
It’s long past time to end the #SchoolToPrison pipeline being perpetrated in @GwinnettSchools's front yard.

It’s no coincidence the County’s disciplinary hearing building is directly across from the county jail.

Community led org @GwinnettSToPP has been doing the legwork to dismantle the school to prison pipeline and end exclusionary discipline in Gwinnett for over 10 years.

Problems they saw back then are continuing still today – it’s time to end this racist practice now.
