Colorado may pass a new education bill. How will a new task force define opportunity gaps? Are state testing metrics a fair way to judge the overall quality of a student's schooling experiences? Should new schools be approved in "low-performing" districts? coloradonewsline.com/2026/04/29/c...

Kansas Governor says NO to federal vouchers for private schools. If only POLIS showed the same support for PUBLIC EDUCATION. Trump's VOUCHER scheme will "lead to racial, economic, and social isolation of students and weaken or destroy the public school system.” kansasreflector.com/2026/04/06/k...

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.” (Published October 2025)

Educators have observed students' attention spans getting shorter and shorter. This new American Educator article explores the evidence behind tech's impact on kids' motivation and boredom, and offers insights on how we can get kids back to focusing again. aft.org/ae/spring202...

The unintended consequences of supporting corporate education reforms, instead of students: • No meaningful reduction in achievement gaps • Curriculum narrowed; instruction weakened • Students disengaged from learning • At-risk population increased by 118% • Youth mental health worsening
