This is an outstanding review of where things stand — and some good suggestions on how we might navigate through this catastrophe of having an unhinged, unscrupulous individual as president. Historian Nancy McLean also spells out how we got where we are in her book “Democracy in Chains.” Thanks for sharing your thinking and experience, Terry.
Thank you, Charlie. And thanks for the book recommendation. It’s amazing how a single day can completely flip the script. I was so looking forward to a rebirth, especially with a surge of federal resources for universal preschool. Ten million fewer Americans voted this election than in 2020.
Thanks Terry for this commentary. One hope I have is in the bureaucracy of government. It’s difficult to move initiatives forward with all the layers between federal and local. Combined with Trump’s tenuous attention span, let’s hope he finds educational policy change too challenging a study.
It’s ironic isn’t it. The same inertia that has kept the public school system from reforming itself now may save it from hopelessly fragmenting and preclude any chance of equity.
