The Betsy Devos Era of Education House Bill 610 is terrifying. Please inform yourselves.

This bill will effectively start the school voucher system to be used by children ages 5-17, and starts the defunding process of public schools. In addition the bill will eliminate the Elementary and Education Act of 1965, which is the nation’s educational law and provides equal opportunity in education.

It would repeal ESSA (Every Students Succeeds Act): ESSA is a big comprehensive program that covers programs for struggling learners, AP classes, ESL classes, classes for minorities such as Native Americans, Rural Education, Education for the Homeless, School Safety (Gun-Free schools), Monitoring and Compliance and Federal Accountability Programs.

The Bill also abolishes the Nutritional Act of 2012 (No Hungry Kids Act) which provides nutritional standards in school breakfast and lunch. The bill has no wording whatsoever protecting Special Needs kids, no mention of IDEA and FAPE.

Some things ESSA does for Children with Disabilities -Ensures access to the general education curriculum. -Ensures access to accommodations on assessments. -Ensures concepts of Universal Design for Learning -Includes provisions that require local education agencies to provide evidence-based interventions in schools with consistently underperforming subgroups. -Requires states in Title I plans to address how they will improve conditions for learning including reducing incidents of bullying and harassment in schools, overuse of discipline practices and reduce the use of aversive behavioral interventions (such as restraints and seclusion).

Please call your representative and ask him/her to vote NO on House Bill 610 (HR 610) introduced by three Republican reps (now that’s a surprise!)

Call your representatives. Wake them up. Demand they not only vote no but actively block, fight and campaign AGAINST this bill. They’re stripping children of food, access to educations and the right to use the fucking bathroom. THESE ARE FUXKING KIDS.

The link didn’t work for me. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/615/related-bills?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22chamberActionDateTotal%3A%5C%222017-01-23%7C115%7Cintroduced%5C%22+AND+billIsReserved%3A%5C%22N%5C%22%22%5D%7D&r=17

This information makes no mention of ESSA or nutritional act of 2012.

Help me understand.

An inauguration day directive on January 20, 2017 from President Donald Trump’s Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff “Regulatory Freeze Pending Review”[13]delayed implementation of new regulations, including portions of the Every Student Succeeds Act. On February 10, 2017, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos wrote to chief state school officers that “states should continue their work” in developing their ESSA plans and noted that a revised template may be issued.

Help me understand.

This may be the most important thing I have ever reblogged. God help us.
