House leaders just dropped their FY26 education bill, slashing $12.1 billion (15%) in K-12 funding for public education. It guts the very programs that keep our public schools running — while boosting charter start-up/expansion to $500,000,000. What they’re cutting: Title I: –27% slashed — funding that provides targeted education services like remedial reading, with the worst impact targeting students in high-poverty schools in cities and rural communities. English Language Acquisition Grants: Gone. Title II-A (teacher training & support): Eliminated. Full-Service Community Schools: Zeroed out. Cuts of this magnitude will crowd classrooms, strip student supports, widen inequities, and push more schools into crisis — especially in rural and high-need communities. Send your letter now.

Teacher diversification is an extremely important subject in America today. Schools are mostly filled with Black and Brown students, while the teacher workforce has been predominantly white, female for decades. Studies show that ALL students, especially students of color, have more favorable learning experiences, when they engage with effective teachers of color. Diversifying the teacher pipeline has not been an easy task, as most view the concept as taboo. In order to change the outcomes for our most disadvantaged students, it is imperative that we provide and sustain a more diverse teacher workforce. Student achievement and societal contributions heavily rely on our ability to present America’s students a cultural mosaic of teachers that mirror them. The solutions are accessible, we must commit to doing the work!

White America has always had an interest in the education of Black folks, but never for the purposes of our freedom.
