I remember way back when being a political science major in undergrad and learning about tacit consent. The idea ran true to my core; if you aren't participating, you are conceeding.
If you aren't helping, you are harming.

This Friday, terminated ED staff will return to the LBJ building in 30-minute windows to collect their belongings. Former colleagues and supporters will be hosting a clap out to show love on a difficult day. If you're in the DC area, stop by!

Students with disabilities need the Department of Education. Cancelling their access and opportunity to thrive in public education isn’t efficient. It’s ableist.

How Dismantling the Department Hurts Students, Teachers, and Communities 7.4 million students with disabilities, served by Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), money that goes straight to states and schools to help kids with disabilities learn, like early intervention services. 26 million students from low-income backgrounds in urban, rural and suburban communities rely on federal Title I funding to improve achievement. 6 states where more than 20% of the education budget comes from the federal government: Alaska, Montana, South Dakota, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky. 9.8 million students in rural schools depend on federal support to bridge funding gaps iin communities with more limited local tax bases. 6.6 million Pell Grant recipients rely on federal student aid to attend college.
Public schools have not recovered from COVID-19, we can see it in the scores, hear it from teachers and school leaders. Throwing schools into chaos is the last thing they need, and there is nothing but chaos in dismantling the Department of Ed. This is an attack on educators & children

The Dept. of Education (ED) enforces IDEA and Section 504, ensuring students with disabilities get the services they need. Without it, who holds states accountable? #EDMatters

Block grants are a scam that will defund public education.
Block grants means less money for public education, fewer resources for students, and no accountability when states shortchange kids.

Pro Tip: if your goal is to fix public education you don’t fire nearly 50% of the Department of Education. If you want to show that #EDMatters, invest in education, don't dismantle it.

I spoke to the @chronicle.com along with a host of other folks about the potential impacts of cuts to ED staff.
The work of civil servants only becomes visible when something breaks and there is no there to fix it.

Kaitlyn Vitez worked for the Department of Education and was laid off this week by the Trump administration.
She explains why DOE staff are essential to getting people the answers, the resources, and the help they need to succeed.
