Ed Markey: “I am calling on the administration to withdraw their proposed rule to roll back these standards in light of the energy…”

I am praying for Robert and his family today.

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.

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.
