Delmarva Parent Teacher Coalition Recent findings from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University indicate that some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training approaches may cause psychological damage. The research demonstrates a rise in hostility, victimhood, and mindsets aiming to inflict punishment among individuals who participated in DEI training.

Most teachers enter the profession out of a true calling. They want to do their best to teacher children the skills they need to be successful adults. Of course, they want to make a living at their profession and holidays and summers off don’t hurt. While parents know all that, what many don’t know is…
Last week we wrote about Trump’s plan for education in the United States using his campaign web page as reference. A large part of Trump’s education plan is the “American Academy.” He explains it in this video posted on “X.” Jack Montgomery on X: “Trump’s best education policy, announced as part of ‘Agenda 47′ in November 2023, is the American Academy. This completely free, online institution, funded by taxes on woke universities’ endowments, will offer full degrees, and college credits to people with incomplete degrees: https://t.co/0GWnJmloWK” / X One of the most interesting parts of this plan is the idea…
Latest Cabinet Nominee Triggers Education Establishment Meltdown It’s been reinforced in the weeks after Trump’s overwhelming election win that he is not afraid to court controversy and think outside the box on his decisions.

I’ll admit, her name was not on my list…

With the recent re-election of Donald Trump, many in the education business have either been cheering or fearing the changes that may happen during his second term. In his first term, education was not a priority in the list of issues Trump needed to address. He promised to dismantle the Department of Education. He attempted to do so by appointing Betsy DeVos Secretary of Education. DeVos then shrank the size of the agency, much to the dismay of the unions. She did this by consolidation of offices within the agency causing the Department of Education to lose 14% of its…
