After 14 years of false starts, Gonski's reforms are finally becoming reality
By Conor Duffy

In 2011 David Gonski proposed school funding reforms with one goal in mind: giving all children an equal shot at an education. Now, after 14 years of false starts, his model will finally be implemented.

"Public schools have always been the epicenter of the right-wing culture war since the Supreme Court ruled segregation was unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education. Abortion, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights were eventually added to the never-ending list of right-wing grievances."

#PortlandME teachers, parents join national #protests against #Trump’s cuts to #education

Teachers from Deering High, Rowe Elementary and Presumpscot Elementary held a 'walk-in' Wednesday in a show of support for public education amid cuts to the U.S. #DepartmentOfEducation.

by Riley Board, March 19, 2025

"'Education is a right, that is why we have to fight,' a group of educators, parents and teachers chanted outside Deering High School early Wednesday morning. To a chorus of loud honks from passing cars on Stevens Avenue, they waved signs opposing staff cuts to the federal Department of Education and other actions President Donald Trump has taken that could affect public education.
The group of about 80 were participating in a nationwide walk-in organized by the National Education Association, the country’s largest teachers union. More than 100 similar events took place across 26 states; the event was scheduled for Wednesday because it’s the day that federal elected officials are returning to their home districts as Congress goes to recess.

"'Now is the time to send a message: Their decisions in Washington, D.C., matter here at home,' the NEA said in a statement on its website."

[...]

"Kerrie Dowdy, president of the Portland Education Association, the union that represents teachers in the district, said the vast majority of all American students, including 95% of students with #disabilities, attend #PublicSchools.

"'All students benefit from programs run by the Department of Education, and we’re here today to protect our students and to protect our public schools,' Dowdy said."

Tiffany Justice, of #MomsForLiberty, touted the launch of the portal, highlighting it as an opportunity for parents to push back against "critical [race] theory, *rogue* sex education, & *divisive* ideologies." She added: "Now is the time that you share the receipts of the betrayal that has happened in our public schools."
