I got it wrong – I thought Michelle Obama’s speech would resonate most from this convention. Instead, it will be Oprah Winfrey. She has really touched the values nerve. #DNC2024

Another must read by ⁦Laura Meckler⁩ ⁦The Washington Post⁩ with insights into the ⁦Vice President Kamala Harris⁩’s views on busing. washingtonpost.com/education/2024…

Interesting tidbit from Kevin D. Williamson of The Dispatch: "In the runup to the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama met with a group of Wall Street types and said that he was on the verge of coming out in support of a national school-choice policy..."

Presidential candidates do interviews with their running mates. Like, for always. To suggest Kamala Harris needs Governor Tim Walz there as some kind of crutch is pretty much the epitome of sexism.

Good interview Dana Bash but would’ve been better if there was at least one question about education… Next time!

Meet the 8ft 1in Paralympian who is so tall he has to sleep on the floor. A moving story, Morteza Mehrzadselakjani. Once so ashamed of his condition that he locked himself in his home in Iran for years. Now a national hero. Piece from Paris telegraph.co.uk/paralympic-spo…

Great piece ⁦Russell Contreras⁩ ⁦Axios⁩ on the lack of detail or discussion about education in this year’s presidential election. How can one bolster the economy without investing in an educated workforce #Elections2024 axios.com/2024/08/31/pub…

Love this piece by ⁦Jorge Elorza⁩ ⁦DFER⁩ in ⁦Education Next⁩ educationnext.org/a-high-school-…

Given that the working class stands to benefit most from more school choice, & that those same voters could well determine the outcome in November, it’s unfortunate that education reform hasn’t received more attention from the candidates Jason Riley⁩ wsj.com/opinion/biden-…

I've been blistering in my criticism of Vance, but I agree with much of what he says here (and am puzzled by my Dem friends jumping on this particular clip). Daycare is too expensive and certain places (like DC) have imposed insane requirements for daycare workers that have

Excited for this debate at National Constitution Center tonight and hoping there is at least one question about each candidate’s vision on education as it relates to the health of our democracy, economy and overall well being David Muir Linsey Davis ABC News #PresidentialDebate

WATCH: A presidential debate with 9 minutes of education! During the 2000 campaign, George W. Bush and Al Gore locked horns on schooling. The nation has seen nothing like it since. fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

I don’t think there is enough recognition in progressive circles of the sheer quantity of zero-carbon electricity that will be needed to ever do things like generate sustainable steel at scale. It’s doable, but you need a lot and it needs to be very cheap.
