Ed Markey: “I suggest we bypass Congress on this, as it is done consistently.”

I am praying for Robert and his family today.

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.’

We urge the Department to withdraw this proposed rule, ensure that the federal government upholds the civil rights of all students, and work to ensure all students can attend schools that are not segregated.

Sanctions on North Korea should target the oppressive Kim regime and its dangerous nuclear ambitions—not its vulnerable civilians who lack access to essential services and lifesaving care.
