The costs can be summed up by the figures in this report, but it can also be put more simply: For many in our country, the cost has been nothing less than seeing their chance at the American dream fade before their very eyes.

Ed Markey
@edmarkey· Democratic · MA· Aug 12, 2026

While the rule claims to offer ‘flexibility’ in desegregation compliance efforts, the Administration’s actions reveal that its goal is to throw away the umbrella, not find a raincoat instead.

Ed Markey
@edmarkey· Democratic · MA· Aug 12, 2026

As with other efforts to erode federal civil rights oversight and enforcement, ED’s proposed rule is ‘like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.’

Ed Markey
@edmarkey· Democratic · MA· Aug 12, 2026

While this news is deeply welcomed, it is long overdue. It is a tragedy that it took Robert’s near-death condition for his case to receive the attention that it required for his release to be negotiated.
