President Grant in defense of truly secular schools - citing that all faiths and doctrines should be excluded from public funding
"Livingston [a teacher] began yelling and demanded that Barnwell stop to acknowledge the pledge, then physically assaulted her by pushing her on a wall, according to the lawsuit."
There is such a thing as toxic patriotism. Too many view flags and pledges with a religious fervor that leads violence reactions like this. They are incapable of comprehending the meanings of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution - seeing them as weapons to wield rather than principles to follow.

The #Democratic ticket won all four open seats on the #Souderton Area School District board on a platform of #transparency but the outgoing board is salting the earth by ramming through (consent agenda, single reading) a policy to restrict the future members from documents if they had previously filed #RightToKnow requests and generally limiting board member ability to request what they need to perform their duties. #PublicSchools

#Trump Admin Announces Steps to Dismantle #Education Department
Responsibilities for #K12 & #college programs, among others, will be moved to other federal agencies.

The #Trump admin laid the groundwork for this change earlier this year when it signed an agreement to move career, technical & adult education grants out of the #Education Dept to the #Labor Dept. Under the arrangement, Education retains oversight & leadership while managing the programs alongside Labor, a way of sidestepping the federal #statute.
#law #Congress #SeparationOfPowers #FederalFunding #PublicSchools
Federal #law directs that these programs be housed in the #Education Dept. The #Trump admin is employing a work-around, the people briefed on the matter said, whereby other government agencies would run the Education programs under a contract with the Education Dept. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the changes.

McMahon has acknowledged that only #Congress can eliminate the dept but vowed to do everything in her power to dismantle it from within.
An #Education Dept spox did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
Supporters of the dept say that the agency is effective in coordinating multiple aspects of education in one place & keeping priorities important to #students, #parents & #schools high on the federal agenda.

The Education Dept plans to announce Tuesday that it will move multiple parts of the agency to other federal depts, an unprecedented & unilateral effort to dismantle an agency created by #Congress to ensure all Americans have #EqualAccess to educational #opportunity & better coordinate federal programs.
