Thanks, #UTedchat , for 10 years of good conversation with educators I admire.

Disappointing to get online to watch the USBE Dist 7 debate and find Dr. Molly Hart’s opponent chose not to show up. How can you vote for someone to represent you when they don’t even have the respect to show up to the non-partisan debate? #uted #utpol

It's trendy to label American schools as failing, often citing NAEP reading proficiency as evidence. Most don't know what it actually measures.

If you'd like to know more, read on.

Voices for Utah Children I'm here for it. Help me get elected to the State School Board so we can focus on what really matters - KIDS, not culture wars. #uted #utpol vote4deborah.com

How perfect that Kevin Bacon was here celebrating the anniversary of Footloose just as books are being banned yet again in our schools 🙄🤨

Today, I’m proud to announce my running mate: Rebekah Cummings. 

She’s a mom, public servant, librarian, and defender against book banning and censorship.

Together, Rebekah and I are building a coalition of pragmatists, not purists—those who want the government to get back to

Recommended weekend listening: the future of K-12 education is *school's choice.* Add publicly-funded religion to the mix & that means that schools will be able to reject kids who aren't heaven-bound. What could go wrong?? Latest Have You Heard on.soundcloud.com/jzbarMguxX4EgQ…

After listening to Sold a Story and watching The Right to Read, you might get the impression that the curriculums criticized were universally adopted. Never likely in our decentralized system. Interesting to know the actual adoption rate.
