The education crisis is deepest in the Midwest & South. These are the same regions where public schools face relentless political attacks. The results? Declining literacy, math, and science scores. Our kids are paying the price. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

“With conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett recusing herself from the case, the 4-4 ruling left intact a lower court's decision that blocked the establishment of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School.” www.reuters.com/world/us/spl...

Saying Florida is #1 in Education should always have had an asterisk. We may have been #1 in Higher Education, but K-12 we were always middle of the road. The DeSantis administration conveniently left out that part in their propaganda. Read more: www.usnews.com/news/best-st...

📉 Teacher pay is rising nationwide — but Florida has dropped to 50th in the country. Lawmakers have failed to prioritize public education. Our students deserve better. Florida can and must do better. 📝 Write your legislator and demand they do better → bit.ly/4k3Kek4

Apoyamos a la Sra. Melissa Calhoun de Satellite High por hacer todo lo posible para que un niño se sintiera incluido y seguro. 1/2

We stand with Ms. Melissa Calhoun from Satellite High for doing her best to make a child feel included & safe. We have to ask ourselves: Do we want classrooms where students feel respected and seen or ones where teachers are afraid to acknowledge their humanity? Brevard Schools needs to do better!

Oklahoma Faith Leaders, Education Advocates, and Parents Urge U.S. Supreme Court to Block Nation’s First Religious Public Charter School

SB 94, the bill by Randy Fine to lower the age of gun purchases from 21 to 18 has officially died in the Senate. Since bills need a House and Senate version to become law, this bill will not pass this session.

When we when we say that school vouchers defund public schools, this is what we mean. The $48 million deficit (third column 24/25) is passed on to #Florida school districts. This directly impacts teacher pay, student outcomes, programs, services, etc. #PublicSchools

🚨This Sunday at @gablescinema.bsky.social , 12pm. “Kim A Snyder film spotlights the librarians on the front line of the culture war waged by right-wingers in certain American states.” She highlights the issues in Texas and Florida. See the link to tickets in our stories. #SaveTheLibros

Supporting parental rights means trusting families to guide their children’s education. HB1539 contradicts that principle. When the government overrides families on what’s “harmful,” it’s not protection—it’s control. Let’s be consistent in defending parental authority. #SaveTheLibros

If you want to stop books from being banned in Florida, listen up! Tomorrow, HB 1539 will be heard in the Education Administration Subcommittee. 🧵 I want you to go RIGHT NOW to the link below.... 👇🏽 flhouse.gov/Sections/Com...

This work is personal. We sat down with @ourfloridaorg and Dear White Women to share our story—what drives us, the battles we face, and why we won’t stop. Listen in and join the fight. www.dearwhitewomen.com/episodes/268...

Department of #Education Secretary Linda McMahon visits a #Miami school, and it feels very, very wrong. youtu.be/j58bVeaZ0vA?...

They can’t hide their intentions. It’s clear they mean to privatize public education. We can’t let them. (True North is a Charter School provider with multiple locations in Miami)

By firing half of the staff of the Department of Education, Trump is making it harder to get resources where they're needed most: In classrooms. Tell Congress to protect our kids and stop cuts to education!

Yesterday, I testified at both the Florida Senate Education PreK-12 committee and the Florida’s House's Student Academic Success Subcommittee.

Education bill SB140 will be heard in the State Senate Education Prek-12 committee on Tuesday March 17th. We need as many people as possible to reach out the the committee members and ask them to vote NO. 🧵 www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill...

📍 @crafty_feminist is in #Tallahassee advocating for education during the Legislative session. 📍 @vanessabritomia is in #KeyWest standing against censorship with @judyblume4real & Amanda Jones. From coast to coast, we’re fighting for our freedoms! ✊📚 #SaveTheLibros #PublicEducation

I wrote an Op-Ed in the @sun-sentinel.com. Please read and call your reps. "A good education is not a handout — it is an investment in our collective future. By ensuring all students can succeed, we create a stronger, more competitive economy for everyone." www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/03/05/r...

Contact your Legislators and tell them your story. Let them know how dismantling the Department of Education will impact your schools. See our linktree (in bio) to find their contact information. youtu.be/drNiCWVqixQ?...

When people attack our education system, they're attacking our future. We won't let them silence marginalized voices, erase historical facts, or limit our children's potential. Dont Defund Public Schools

Our schools, libraries, and teachers are under attack, and we are here to fight back. Join Our Florida for a cross country conversation on book bans, how we've organized against censorship in the past, and how we will continue to protect our schools no matter what.

The state of Florida and 16 other states is suing to overturn Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which has ensured that Floridians with disabilities can access education, healthcare, and jobs without discrimination. Please sign this petition and share on your social networks.

Another warning sign: Miami’s public schools are shrinking as universal vouchers pull students (and funding) away. When public education suffers, we all pay the price. #ProtectPublicEducation https://buff.ly/4aXDKzU

"[Commissioner] Diaz offered 'suggestions to help make NAEP great for educational progress once again,' including letting private schools participate in the assessment." I posit, Comm. Diaz, that there needs to be more transparency with private schools. www.cltampa.com/news/after-f...

Because “parental rights” was always a lie to cover their real motive of erasing queer, disabled, and black and brown people from public life. This has never been about parental rights.

Florida is no longer alone, they’re just slightly ahead of the rest of us. It’s time to start showing up, speaking out, and organizing. We can help. So can @everylibrary.bsky.social and fightforthefirst.org. Get connected!

"For the 95% of parents that haven’t limited student access in the library, where and when do we get to have a say in what’s appropriate?" We stand with @flfreedomread.bsky.social. If Parents have the right to direct the education of their children, why can't we in this instance?

Well, well, well…

Since the White House doesn’t seem to want to celebrate Black History Month, be sure to follow @dunnfiu.bsky.social and get your dose of Florida’s Black History.

To say this is disturbing would be the understatement of the century. Remember your history. What kind of leader dictates what our children can or cannot be taught in school? There is nothing “free” about this.

💡 Big changes could be coming for Florida’s public schools. The legislative session starts March 4th, & we’re tracking it all: 🔴 School funding & teacher pay 🔴 Gun safety legislation 🔴 Mental health for students & staff 🔴 Follow along with our Legislative Tracking Spreadsheet & get involved!

In 1951 a bomb was placed beneath the bedroom of Florida civil rights activist Harry T Moore killing Moore and his wife Harriet. I am standing in front of their bedroom in this replica of the house in a county park.
