November 26, 2025 Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout. Create! Education, ICE, Immigrants, Public schools, Sanctuary

In Sanctuary School: Innovating to Empower Immigrant Youth, Molloy University assistant professor of education Chandler Patton Miranda presents an in-depth and emotionally resonant look at a network of 31 small public high schools in seven states that provide “radical welcome, protection and empowerment” to migrant youth from 119 countries. The Internationals Network for Public Schools was initially founded in 2004 in Queens, New York, but it now has expanded to serve schools in California, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., among other locations.

Education Dismantling Ignores Tribal Nations

November 24, 2025 Levi Rickert, Native News Online. Educate! Department of Education, Education, History, Indigenous Peoples

As Congress weighed releasing the Epstein files last week, the Trump administration quietly announced plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education — shifting programs that serve Native students to other agencies without consulting a single tribe. Call it what you want: a strategic distraction, a bureaucratic reshuffling or business as usual for this administration. For Indian Country, it’s a violation of federal law. Tuesday’s announcement transferred key programs that serve Native students from the Department of Education to the departments of the Interior and Labor, with additional programs reassigned to Health and Human Services and the State Department.

Michigan Coalition Puts Billionaires On Notice

November 20, 2025 Drew Younker, People's World. Strategize! Billionaires, Education, Michigan, Public schools, Taxes

Lansing, Michigan - Corporate-backed lawyers descended on the state capital in late June in a frantic attempt to derail a popular ballot initiative that would tax the wealthiest Michiganders to fund the state’s starving public schools. The Invest in MI Kids campaign (with the MI pronounced like “my”), an evolution of the “Babies over Billionaires” movement, arrived at a Board of State Canvassers meeting to get its 100-word petition summary approved. The measure would levy a 5% tax on annual income over $500,000 for individuals and $1,000,000 for couples, directing the revenue exclusively to the State School Aid Fund.

Anti-Capitalist Book Fair Connects Activists And Progressive Literature

November 4, 2025 Ashleigh-Rae Thomas, Rabble.ca. Organize! Book Fairs, Capitalism, Education, Socialism

The second annual Anti-Capitalist Book Fair took place in Toronto on October 19. Created by Camilo Cahis Marxist Publishing House, the Anti-Capitalist Book Fair aimed to supply leftists, curious onlookers, and seasoned activists in Toronto with progressive literature. Christina Olanick, a graphic designer and organizer at Camilo Cahis Marxist Publishing House, says the book fair started because there’s a ‘real hunger’ for socialist and communist ideas. “It’s really obvious that capitalism isn’t working,” Olanick said of the importance of the book fair.

Disability Rights Are Workers’ Rights!

November 1, 2025 Disability Justice and Rights Caucus of Workers World Party, Workers World. Create! Disability Rights, Education, Jobs Guarantee, Worker Rights

For the last few years, the monthly Second Sunday Dialogue public meetings of the Disability Justice and Rights Caucus of Workers World Party (DJRC) have been discussing the idea of a transitional demand: a “Disability Justice, Full Employment, Health Care and Education Second Bill of Rights” amendment to the U.S. Constitution. San Francisco Bay Area disabled activist Michael Karsh is the main architect of this proposal, which is an idea whose time has come. Karsh has written the following justification for such an amendment at this time: “The Disability Justice, Full Employment, Health Care & Education Second Bill of Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would transform the U.S. Constitution into a human rights document.

Ground Zero In Conservative Quest For Patriotic And Christian Public Schools

October 26, 2025 Jennifer Smith Richards, ProPublica. Educate! Christian Nationalism, Education, Oklahoma, Public schools, Trump Administration

The future that the Trump administration envisions for public schools is more patriotic, more Christian and less “woke.” Want to know how that might play out? Look to Oklahoma. Oklahoma has spent the past few years reshaping public schools to integrate lessons about Jesus and encourage pride about America’s history, with political leaders and legislators working their way through the conservative agenda for overhauling education. Academics, educators and critics alike refer to Oklahoma as ground zero for pushing education to the right. Or, as one teacher put it, “the canary on the prairie.” By the time the second Trump administration began espousing its “America First” agenda, which includes the expansion of private school vouchers and prohibitions on lessons about race and sex, Oklahoma had been there, done that.

In North Carolina, Immigrants Resist The US ‘Language Graveyard’

October 26, 2025 Anya Petrone Slepyan, In These Times. Create! Education, Indigenous Peoples, Language, North Carolina

On a Friday evening in Emma, North Carolina, an unincorporated community west of Asheville, noise echoes across the Porvenir Community Center. Young children play in one room, laughing and shouting in Spanish and English. In the next room over, around 15 adults and children talk and sing in a different language – Hñähñu, an Indigenous language from the Mezquital Valley of Central Mexico. Families sit together, leaning over textbooks and taking notes as the teacher, Abel González Bueno, writes example sentences on the whiteboard. At the end of the class, González leads his students in a traditional folk song. He says that music can be a great teacher, especially for his adult students who grew up speaking Hñähñu.

Teachers And Unions Fight Back As US Campuses Prepare To Fuel Witch Hunt

Outrage flared last week about the University of California’s capitulation to this era’s resurgent McCarthyism, as news spread that the university has provided the names of at least 160 students, faculty members, and staff at the University of California, Berkeley, to federal officials who — under the guise of investigating “alleged antisemitic incidents” — are scrutinizing people who have expressed opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Judith Butler, a UC Berkeley philosophy professor and Jewish critic of the Israeli government, said in a recent interview with Democracy Now!, “There is no good evidence that antisemitism is rampant on campus,” adding, “To take a position against genocide is certainly not an antisemitic thing to do.

Infiltration: A Cardinal Function Of The Zionist Movement

September 17, 2025 David Miller, MintPress News. Educate! Education, History, Infiltration, Zionism, Zionists

The Zionist movement creates and sustains the “Israel lobby” to extend its ideological and political reach, shaping both foreign and domestic policy in the countries where it operates. It provides material support for ethnic cleansing and genocide, funneling millions each year through charities that aid in land theft and war crimes. It grooms children and youth into ideological loyalists through a vast network of schools, synagogues, youth groups and settler recruitment programs, including Birthright tours, the Masa journey and the Lone Soldier Program. Beyond all this, the movement systematically dispatches its adherents into broader society as lifelong agents of Zionist ideology. This is not a metaphor. It is infiltration.

Unifying With Cooperative Principles

September 11, 2025 Bruce J. Reynolds, Grassroots Economic Organizing. Strategize! Cooperative Principles, Cooperatives, Education, Polarization

Polarization of public opinion has accelerated in recent years. Throughout history political and military leaders have unified people against others to garner support for conducting civil or foreign wars. In recent years some politicians, without wanting war, have gained loyal supporters by demonizing opposition leaders and their supporters. This strategy is traced back to the philosopher, Leo Strauss (1899-1973). He asserted that “People can only be unified against other people” (Buruma, 6). Over the last three decades or longer Strauss’s teachings and writings have been adapted by some political operatives as a strategy for winning elections.

Bioregioning As The Response To ‘Gaia On The Move’

September 4, 2025 David Bollier. Create! Bioregions, Ecosystems, Education, Environment

Isabel Carlisle is a leading figure in bioregional education and action who has a great term for describing the planetary eco- mayhem now underway -- “Gaia on the move.” As climate change intensifies and humankind disrupts ecosystems, Gaia is causing ice caps and glaciers to melt and the atmospheric jet stream to skitter and shift course. The Amazonian forest becoming a net emitter rather than absorber of atmospheric carbon As these system-changes disrupt local ecosystems, through coastal flooding for example, Carlisle sees cues for how to move forward. The disruptions “reveal where the fragility is,” said Carlisle, and that’s where to focus attention.

Unions Aren’t Just Good For Workers; They Benefit Communities, Democracy

September 1, 2025 Celine McNicholas, Margaret Poydock, Heidi Shierholz and Hilary Wething, Economic Policy Institute. Educate! Education, Paid Sick Leave, Report, Unions, Voting, Wages

We know that unions promote economic equality and build worker power, helping workers to win increases in pay, better benefits, and safer working conditions. But that’s not all unions do. Unions also have powerful effects on people’s lives outside of work. They help foster solidarity, promote civic and political engagement, provide reliable information to working-class communities about how economic policies impact their lives, and serve as a counterweight to corporate power in our democracy. Throughout history, unions have been engines of resistance to entrenched and undemocratic power—mobilizing working people to challenge inequality, defend civil rights, and push back against authoritarianism in all its forms.

The Labor Education That Workers Need Most

August 29, 2025 Helena Worthen, Dollars & Sense. Organize! Education, Labor Movement, Unions, Worker Rights and Jobs

What kind of knowledge do you need the most in order to make a decent living and avoid getting injured or beaten up by your job? It’s not those hard skills that take years of costly training, or the work-ethic skills that workforce development planners promote. It’s labor education. Narrowly defined, it means how to organize a union, plus all the ancillary leadership, mobilizing, negotiation, education, and enforcement responsibilities that come with that. Much of this is quite technical. It’s also philosophy. Broadly defined, it’s essentially the arts and sciences from a working-class perspective. The narrow definition of what people learn in labor education classes reflects the reality that our labor relations system is unusually complex.

Why National Education Association Members Voted To Support Palestine

August 18, 2025 Gwen Lee and Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. Strategize! ADL, Education, Israel, National Education Association, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Unions

As an educator, to me, it’s so important that students are part of the struggle. I know when I was in high school during the Vietnam War, anytime I asked about it, I was shot down and told, “What does that have to do with education?” It has everything to do with education. It has everything to do with growing new leadership and teaching students or helping students, assisting students take the leadership in terms of being involved in the movement for justice. In a sense, Trump and the policies of the federal government have done a lot of the organizing for us because there’s lots of young people who just really want to know what’s going on and want to be involved in stopping it, whether it be Palestine, fighting ICE, or actions against the terrorism of the police.

Black-Led, Progressive Homeschool Networks Rise Amid Book Bans

August 3, 2025 Ella Fassler, Truthout. Create! Book bans, Diversity, Education, Home Schooling

Earlier this year in San Antonio, Texas, an eight-year-old delivered a fiery, impassioned speech to the office of Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. Introducing herself as Cari, a third-grader from South Texas, she made a demand: “Stop supporting immigration bills that are hateful. It would harm my friends and people in our community.” She even offered him reading material: “In the Kelly Yang book, Front Desk — a banned book — she says… ‘No human is illegal!’ You should read this book!” The office hung up on her. Cari called again, advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza. Again, the office hung up.
