āSome say it is unfair to hold disadvantaged children to rigorous standards. I say it is discrimination to require anything less, the soft bigotry of low expectations.ā

New York Regents member Felicia Thomas-Williams on why she thinks students shouldnāt have to take Regents exams to graduate:
āYou donāt assess a fish on climbing a tree because fish canāt climb treesā

Coloradoās Mapleton, Denver, and Academy District 20 are powerful examples of what happens when districts reimagine themselves around parentsā choices: 100% choice models, transparent enrollment systems, and specialized programs for every interest.

ā@TheDemocrats canāt be the party that believes in equity as a core principle while simultaneously being complacent about math scores still languishing below pre-pandemic levels and reading scores hitting their lowest in more than 30 years.ā
