Supreme Court Requires Schools to Allow Students to Opt Out of LGBTQ Lessons www.the74million.org/article/supr...

“Today’s ruling threatens the very essence of public education,” said US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor in a dissent after the court decided today that parents have the right to opt out their kids before LGBTQ-inclusive books are read in public school classrooms.

It's absolutely absurd.

The @genderanded.bsky.social conference is next week. Final presentation on our forthcoming bullying book! We look forward to feminist scholarship & solidarity!

Against voters’ will, including rural republicans, party ideologues shoved private school vouchers down the throats of TX, TN, and more this spring. Now they are forcing vouchers on the entire country—even in states that are completely opposed—& bypassing the normal Senate process.

This is a hot mess of a policy proposal: Taxpayers who donate to voucher programs would get 100% of their money back when they file their taxes. That means the tax break for giving to voucher programs would dwarf tax incentives for giving to churches, hospitals, food banks & every other charity.

"The proposal would exempt religious schools from the tax burden, a move that could help institutions such as Hillsdale College and the University of Notre Dame."

Actions against LGBTQ+ students also threaten K-12 teachers

The Education Department’s civil rights office once helped push a South Dakota school district to treat its Native students equally. Under Trump, that same office decided that helping Indigenous students would discriminate against white students: propub.li/3GIdTRr

This reporter’s front yard was ripped apart for having a Black Lives Matter sign. Then he started investigating. On this week's More To The Story, NBC News reporter @mikehixenbaugh.com talks to our friends at @revealnews.org about how that incident led him directly to America’s public schools.

Pre-order discount for our new book on bullying.

Tomorrow at #AERA2025

"The judge...said that the administration had not provided an adequately detailed definition of “diversity, equity and inclusion,” and that its policy threatened to restrict free speech in the classroom while overstepping the executive branch’s legal authority over local schools."

The parental rights movement has a big day at the Supreme Court

Only 17% of parents and 18% of Americans overall believe elected officials should have any input into school curriculum, and the majority of parents (82%) feel that teachers should be able to talk about race, gender, and sexual orientation at school in age-appropriate ways (IPSOS, 2022.)

Why are House Republicans so obsessed with attacking trans people? Maybe it's to distract their base from their plans to gut Medicaid & give billionaires tax breaks—paid for by the middle class.

About 70% of Americans approve of same-sex marriages. Despite this, Republican lawmakers in 5 states introduced symbolic bills calling on the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. A scholar explains: buff.ly/ht3jChs Paul M. Collins Jr. @umassamherst.bsky.social

Peer-reviewed research journals are now targets.

While the Trump-Vance Admin is censoring books at the Naval Academy, Republicans in Congress are pushing a federal "Don't Say Trans" bill. Republicans don't want free speech—they just want to have complete & total control of what teachers can teach & of what students can learn.

#AERA25 is next week. If you’re in Denver, join me and @drjackieullman.bsky.social @bwozolek.bsky.social @ejrenold.bsky.social and others for a panel challenging the dominant bullying discourse.

This story is absolutely insane, almost a parody. It's like if ChatGPT were asked to get every single education culture war issue in a single story. (Except of course it's real, this teacher was in danger, and this is all incredibly dangerous).

The US Dept of Ed is trying to force California to out its trans students to their parents

In the many horrors, you may have missed it. But LGBTQ children's lit has made it to SCOTUS. LGBTQ children's lit vs religious freedom.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Call your State's Education Commissioner, District Superintendent, and Governor everyday until April 24th. Public schools will lose federal education funding unless they promise to end "DEI" programs in K-12 public schools. Please share! www.ed.gov/about/news/p...
