Education and the Second Trump Administration, 233 Days In
Description
A lot has happened in education over the last couple of months. A new school year started for students across the country. State governors began announcing whether they would be opting in to the new federal tax credit scholarship program. Penny Schwinn, former Education Commissioner of Tennessee, withdrew her nomination to be Linda McMahon’s number two at the Department of Education. A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration’s shutdown of the Comprehensive Centers and Regional Educational Laboratories was unlawful. And the Trump administration continued waging its battles with elite universities.
On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus discusses these developments, and more, with Andy Rotherham and Rick Hess.
Andrew J. Rotherham is a co-founder and senior partner at Bellwether and the author of the Eduwonk blog.
Frederick M. Hess is a senior fellow and the director of education policy studies at AEI.
