oceanic<p>Last fall, I told my child’s advocates and therapists that, after months of painful meetings and MANY dollars spent, we had decided not to sue our school district after all, because we believed Trump would shut down the DOE anyway before the next school year started.</p><p>Oh, the looks I got.</p><p>Somehow, no one believed he would do what he said he would. But the first thing he was coming for was special education, and the snowball of destruction would just roll downhill from there. </p><p>Now here we are. </p><p>Because I did believe him, we’ve spent the last five months enrolling in home therapies, signing up for long-term state-funded waivers, and settling into a long-term plan for augmenting homeschool instead. As long as Medicaid and homeschooling exist, we’ll have a supportive environment we worked like hell to create out of nothing for our kid. And if one day they don’t exist, we’ll work from there too.</p><p>Two thoughts, at this moment.</p><p>1. No family should have to endure years of lost careers and fighting powerful districts just to get their child an education. This predates Trump. The right to a free and appropriate public education is FAPE law, even if schools only adhere to it when 1/10 of the families that sue for their rights have the money and paper trail to win. </p><p>2. Trump’s decision to go straight for the jugular of public education will create future generations of voters that are uneducated and uninformed (and therefore easy to direct with propaganda and state-sponsored news, or funnel into for-profit schools). Critical thinking and recognizing misinformation are two ESSENTIAL skills our children will need over the next decade.</p><p>Whatever Trump says he will do, believe him. Prepare what you can for your families. Tap into the networks of people who have already been forced out of public education and are creating ways to support their kids on their own. And fight, fight, fight every executive order, law, or budget cut that reduces funding to education. </p><p>I don’t have enough of an audience to think that anyone who needs to hear this will read this, but… maybe if I put it out there, one less family will fall through these widening cracks.</p><p><a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/sped" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sped</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/specialeducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>specialeducation</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/doe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doe</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/homeschooling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeschooling</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/publiceducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publiceducation</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/iep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iep</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>school</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>community</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/alternativeschools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alternativeschools</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/academic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academic</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/asd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asd</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adhd</span></a> <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/audhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>audhd</span></a></p>

WYM Mod<p>The Trump administration's drastic cut of nearly 50% from the U.S. Department of Education, terminating roughly 1,300 federal employees, raises alarm bells among educators and public advocates. This move, led by Linda McMahon, threatens vital student aid and civil rights initiatives, prompting fierce opposition from unions like AFGE Local 252. Sheria Smith, despite her role in civil rights, faces termination.

Bruce MacDonald<p>'Chautauqua then was a fledgling American cultural and social movement with roots in upstate New York. Its founders believed reading in the arts and sciences would broaden education beyond America’s gilded elite. By the early 20th century, some 10,000 groups had formed. </p><p>'By the 1930s, though, the movement began to fade as public education expanded in towns and cities. In many towns, these learning groups eventually foundered.</p><p>'But not in Blue Earth. At 142 years old, it’s believed to be the second oldest continuously operating Chautauqua circle in the country. It’s a tradition the current circle of women embraces each time they meet.'<br><a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/03/03/curious-minds-keep-a-southern-minnesota-book-group-going-for-142-years" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">mprnews.org/story/2025/03/03/c</span><span class="invisible">urious-minds-keep-a-southern-minnesota-book-group-going-for-142-years</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chautauqua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chautauqua</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PublicEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicEducation</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Minnesota</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/hinterlandia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hinterlandia</span></a></p>
