But also it’s not only measles, pertussis (whooping cough) is also returning, and based on latest ACIP (or what used to be ACIP) stunts, we’ll see rotavirus, meningococcal meningitis, HBV liver cancer, return after that. A public health disaster built by design since Jan 2025
If measles vaccination rates continue to drop just 1% annually for the next five years, the cost to the U.S. could reach $1.5 billion a year, according to a new report from the Yale School of Public Health. nbcnews.com/health/kids-heal…

The injury caused by Trump withholding millions from public schools across this country will be obvious in the days & months ahead. But the “why” matters just as much. Trump promised to return ed to states but is now dictating how they train teachers. abcnews4.com/news/local/trum…

Great session at #AERA24 today on a multi-agency approach to tackle racial injustices in education through absenteeism, exclusion and early drop-out. A key feature lies in a collaborative consortium of universities and other agencies working with policymakers. @joepbishop

We must allow students to express themselves and not see it as chaos but as academic currency. Silence can signify oppression because students are robbed of the joy education produces when learning is connected to excitement and liberation. @joepbishop #equity #collaboration
