Well and powerfully put, and I'm so so sorry we're here.

Thank you - and yes, I agree - it is quite disturbing

Thank you Andy for this excellent piece. The future certainly looks grim for public education. I can only hope and pray the damage that the Trump regime is doing to this agency and others is not permanent and broken beyond repair. Time will tell, no doubt.

Yes - I agree, the outlook is grim - I’m heartened by the attention focused on pro-education and pro-democracy leaders like Gov. Tim Walz and Gov. Andy Beshear - I hope their voices continue to garner attention. And I hope it is not too late.
