🚨The School Superintendents Association (AASA) advises superintendents nationwide that they may disregard the Office of Civil Rights' “Dear Colleague” memorandum, which has effectively discontinued all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within educational settings.

In a blog post titled “OCR Issues Guidance on Title VI Compliance for Districts,” AASA explains to superintendents that the legal arguments backing the Trump Administration's @usedgov OCR guidance will face challenges in court. Furthermore, even if legal challenges don’t work out, school districts can stall and basically buy themselves some time. AASA believes they can evade a loss of federal funds, as withdrawing funding for noncompliance with federal civil rights laws is a slow and complex process.

Jackie Wernz, education civil rights attorney at AASA, is advising state administrators on the importance of branding: “…focus on programs and activities that might be at risk under the current law, regulations, and judicial guidance. DEI Policies that explicitly use race in admissions, financial aid, hiring, or discipline-such as racial quotas, set-asides, or preferential treatment — are the most at risk under current law.”

Similarly, DEl programs that stereotype individuals or groups, assign racial blame, or suppress speech based on race could be suspect. “However, there is much less support for arguments against race-neutral-yet-race-conscious policies like those used in cases in the 1st and 4th Circuit…”

Wernz seems to believe that there is no legal basis to consider explicit diversity “goals” on race and gender/gender identity as problematic.Image

Dear Fellow American Parents,
 
As parents we all share a common bond, an unyielding commitment to the future of our children. We strive every day to provide them with a safe, nurturing environment and to equip them with the values and opportunities they need to thrive. In these uncertain times, we must be vigilant in fighting the forces that shape their minds, and the world we will hand to them. 1/11 One such threat is the potential Harris/Walz presidency, which would give way to the rise of the most anti-parent, extremist government America has ever known. President Ronald Reagan warned that freedom is one generation from extinction. We will hand that baton to our children as their inheritance; we must not drop it. 2/11

We sat down w/ @60Minutes about so-called “banned books” w/ @ScottPelley on 10/12/23. Tonight, the piece finally aired. The books we shared were censored. Why? Would they have caused @CBSNews to get a FCC fine for reading pornographic material on-air? Or was it just not on message about “extreme right wing hate speech?” You decide. Below is a list of the books we shared & some of the content read to @ScottPelley. As we told the @60Minutes producers many times - these books have all been reported at schools. Not just local libraries or retailers.

IT'S IN SCHOOLS - Home itsnotinschools.com “Millions of American children now attend schools that are saturated with Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP), Critical Race Theory (CRT), Queer Theory (QT), and Transformative Social and Emotional Learning (TSEL).”

Covid has been a nightmare. Many people have lost loved ones and my post does not mean to diminish the pain of that loss. But as a mother, I have to say that I don’t think any one group has been so negatively affected than the youth of our nation. Closed schools, missed milestones, depression, anxiety, suicide. Masked all day, constantly reprimanded. Parents have witnessed our children struggle and we have tried to do our best to help them through it. It has been hard.

Went out today in FL and had lunch with some friends. It was a beautiful day and we didn’t have to mask once. But as we were eating, I was thinking about my kids who had masks on all day at school. 1/ My 16 yr old daughter said it is hard to make new friends when you can’t see anyone’s face. My 13yo has a pimple on his nose he is so embarrassed about- the mask is causing it, but now he wants the mask to cover it 😥 2/
