Ed Markey: “I really think it is important for the United States to publicly announce that we think the dialogue is over.”

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.’

This dangerous deal is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race.

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.

We cannot rely on courts alone to secure strong protections for our kids’ privacy and safety — Congress must act.
