Judge Joun said the plaintiffs painted a “stark picture of the #IrreparableHarm that will result from financial uncertainty & delay, impeded #access to vital #knowledge on which #students & #educators rely, & loss of essential services for America’s most vulnerable student populations.”
#Layoffs of that scale, he added, “will likely cripple the Department.”
Joun ordered the #Education Dept to reinstate #FederalWorkers who were terminated as part of the Mar 11 layoff announcement.

Wow! A stunning read - thank you so much for formulating & sharing this & all power to your students & yourself. This resonates so loud & clear:
“I think no one really wants to have a whole generation of people who know how to fake it and phone it in and debate me bro but no idea what they're talking about. I truly believe that the students we graduate who actually read and think and write for themselves will stand out like floodlights, and will likely… be the ones who can pursue anything they want. But the gamble they are taking is reading and thinking and then being led by a generation of zombies, and it scares them.”
They will be floodlights as you are.

There are also some walk-ins scheduled for schools in Massachusetts on May Day. What is a "walk-in"?
From the National Education Association: "During school walk-ins, parents, educators, and students, along with neighbors and community leaders, gather in front of their school 30-45 minutes before the school day begins. We rally and listen to a few speakers discuss what they want for the school, and then we all walk into the school together. Walk-ins can be used to celebrate your school, collaborate with school officials, or protest harmful school conditions and policies."

To all my friends who are #teachers and #educators: be aware that the U.S. Department of #Education now has an online form that any Joe Blow can submit, where people can report you for so-called "divisive ideologies," "indoctrination," and "illegal discriminatory practices." The URL makes it clear what they mean by those terms: https://enddei.ed.gov/ . Whether you choose to alter your pedagogy or not based on the existence of this $h!t is up to you, but I wanted you to know about it.

Phase 2 :
Many #educators are regretting their #vote for #Trump , citing #job #insecurities and #school #funding #issues...
What did you expect ?
There are ways to work around something like that and with communication you can work something out, and it’s not a huge issue.

Dear #Educators everywhere:
This is a perfect showcase for 'How a chatbot distorts history and does not further any kind of deeper/critical understanding of anything'.
You can use my post, the screenshots, and everything else as you please, you don't have to ask my permission. (See my bio for the CC BY.)
Please talk with your students about this, why it's bad and how we can deal with that as a enlightened society.
