Education Department drops English-learner guidance for schools – The Washington Post


Exclusive

Education Department quietly removes rules for teaching English learners


The move is an acceleration of President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring English the country’s “official language.”

By Laura Meckler and Justine McDaniel

The Trump administration has quietly rescinded long-standing guidance that directed schools to accommodate students who are learning English, alarming advocates who fear that schools will stop offering assistance if the federal government quits enforcing the laws that require it.

The rescission, confirmed by the Education Department on Tuesday, is one of several moves by the administration to scale back support for approximately 5 million schoolchildren not fluent in English, many of them born in the United States. It is also among the first steps in a broader push by the Trump administration to remove multilingual services from federal agencies across the board, an effort the Justice Department has ramped up in recent weeks.

The moves are an acceleration of President Donald Trump’s March 1 order declaring English the country’s “official language,” and they come as the administration is broadly targeting immigrants through its deportation campaign and other policy changes. The Justice Department sent a memorandum to all federal agencies last month directing them to follow Trump’s executive order, including by rescinding guidance related to rules about English-language learners.

Since March, the Education Department has also laid off nearly all workers in its Office of English Language Acquisition and has asked Congress to terminate funding for the federal program that helps pay for educating English-language learners. Last week, education advocates noticed that the guidance document related to English learning had a new label indicating it was rescinded and remains online “for historical purposes only.”

Short joke: European leaders 🤣 🤣

"It is time for our European counterparts to put up or shut up.

They keep saying "the US should do this, the US should do that". President Trump has put secondary tariffs on India because of their consumption of Russian oil, and the Europeans haven't done that yet. As a matter of fact, the Europeans are buying the refined products that the Indian refineries make." - Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent.

Update: Gracie and Buzz at 6 months old. I am not sure if I can keep calling them #BabySharks since they don't chew our fingers as much anymore but they do love the sticks in the #Backyard. Battle Royales continue.

Now that they have had their shots, leash training coming soon. 😵‍💫

Gracie is 4lbs and Buzz is 7lbs.

Two adorable small dogs, Yorkie mixes, are the charming subjects of this image. They are nestled comfortably in a pink and white polka-dotted pet bed, which appears to have a soft, plush lining with paw print designs. The dog on the left, identified by the name "Gracie" written near her in the image, has a slightly darker coat with a mix of brown, tan, and black fur. She's wearing a pink collar with a tag that also features a pink paw print. Her expression is sweet and attentive as she looks towards the viewer. The dog on the right, labeled "Buzz," has a lighter, more silvery and tan coat. He sports a black collar with a white tag that has a black paw print on it. Buzz also gazes directly at the camera with an equally endearing expression. Both dogs have the characteristic long, silky hair around their muzzles and paws often seen in Yorkshire Terriers or their mixes. Their ears are partially visible, and their dark eyes are bright and engaging. The background is softly blurred, suggesting an indoor setting with light-colored walls. The overall impression is one of warmth and affection for these two little companions.

It's been a while since I posted a #BabySharks picture. They will be turning 10 months old this month.

They are loving hanging out in the #Mountains and exploring all the new scents and meeting new people.

There has been zero littermate syndrome (something I was slightly concerned about). They love their doggie cousins and big brother, Auggie Doggie.

Their teeth are still super sharp and they play non stop.

I just love them! ❤️ 🐾

This photo shows two small Yorkshire Terrier-mix dogs standing side by side on a green concrete porch step. Gracie, on the Left: Smaller in size, with a neatly groomed silky coat of tan and gray. It has a curious expression with wide dark eyes and slightly tilted head. The dog wears a collar with a pink paw-shaped tag. Buzz on the Right: Slightly larger, with a similar silky tan and gray coat, but a bit shaggier. Its head is turned slightly to the side, giving a thoughtful look. This one wears a collar with a black paw-shaped tag. Behind them is a white house with a screen door, a tall wire fence, and some yard greenery. The scene has a cozy, homey feel, with the two pups looking as if they’re waiting for attention or ready to explore.

Iris Gur, an Israeli member from #CombatantsForPeace: "Last Friday my group, the Jordan valley activists, with 24hours shifts in protective presence, we went to a little community with children and elders for a night shift. One of the boys, 17 years old, was very afraid and asked her to look at the water tanks at night because they had just bought water: 'I am afraid: in another community settlers polluted the water tank" I know this boy for two years. I never saw him so afraid, so tired'"

The story of Iris Gur:
"In 2017, my youngest daughter, Noa, told me she was refusing to serve in the army. My first reaction was to shout: “How dare you?” That was the beginning of a shared journey. Noa was imprisoned for four months in a military prison. While supporting her, I began my own journey to truly understand. I was labeled a “radical leftist,” and even now, I struggle to understand what is so radical about wanting freedom, justice, and safety for all people."

@nam

the key point is Finland and Sweden weren't part of NATO until after Russia invaded. Russia had neutral neighbors but with the coup in Ukraine and the fighting in the Donbas and the training and weapons going in, that was changing. they felt they had to respond to a hostile power setting up in their border. I wonder if any peace agreement might include Finland and Sweden leaving NATO too. It really needs to be disbanded or we leave it.

The Left in my mind:
-Anyone who believes things like systemic racism are real
-Anyone who wears a mask in 2025
-Believes governments can fix cultural and social issues through regulation
-conflates scientist with science and thus objective
-Thinks of nationalism as having a negative connotation
-Believes diversity is our greatest strength
-Either has or believes septum piercings are cool/attractive
-Values Justice over Liberty

isn't affirmative action systemic racism?

I remember NA being freaked out about walking by people who were vaxed, thinking it might cause reproductive issues. I'm sure no conservative conspiracy people wear masks.

isn't the pro life movement for regulation to deal with a cultural/social issue?

both sides are selective re science.

lots of commies are big on nationalism.

that's a slogan to push back on racist bs.

Yes. Systemic racism was instituted by leftists who claimed to have been fighting against then-nonexistant systemic racism.

> Both sides are selective re science.

This is a cop-out. It could also be the opening of a much longer discussion, though it would take a more serious respondant than "u mad, bro"

Well, I understand not wanting to continue a tedious thread, but there are certainly less snide and divisive ways to do it. Still, he had some very solid responses that you dodged with that comment.

@wjmaggos
After the constant juvenile whining you bring to every unrelated thread I'm in, you don't really deserve an explanation as to why your show was removed from the NA stream anymore. But I'll throw you a bone.

For YEARS, I defended running CWR in the playlist against a VERY vocal, and yes, largely conservative audience. NAS was never supposed to be overtly partisan; we wanted a counterpoint to the m5m narrative from interesting and thoughtful voices. These tended to skew righward because with the media bias, most left-leaning shows were just echoing m5m talking points. A few shows like CWR and Briney brought original ideas, so against the vocal will of the more partisan trolls, they stayed in the playlist.

Eventually, though, I was instructed (by someone higher-up than me) to remove CWR. Not because of your politics, but because of your production quality.

If, at any point, you had simply asked me, I would have told you this, and offered pointers how to bring up the quality. But instead you chose to assume ("falsely", to borrow an m5m dogwhistle) that I had some sort of vendetta, and that was the only explanation. I compartmentalize my personal opinions from any professiinal duties. And I don't abuse power for personal grudges. That you think I have so little integrity to do so is the part that really hurt.

You have not once come to me in anything resembling a civil manner askjng if there was anything you could do to re-earn the slot. You have merely sniped and whined and questioned my judgment and impugned my integrity.

And still you cry about the incivility in the world whenever someone gets sick of your bullshit.

we tried to bring in Russia in the 90s but as subservient to us and our economic interests. like we always do. and their people didn't like the economics of that and elected Putin to restore more self determination. less market fundamentalism.

you merged Gorbachev and Yeltsin.

Ukraine. Trump continue d’humilier l’Europe

  • Alexander G. Rubio @AlexanderGRubi2 – 2:22 UTC * 19 août 2025
  • Le plan est que les États-Unis vendent des armes aux Européens, qui les fourniront ensuite à Kiev. Cependant, les États-Unis n’ont pas les armes à vendre, les Européens n’ont pas l’argent pour les acheter et Kiev n’a pas les soldats pour les utiliser. A part ça, c’est un plan infaillible.
  • [Poutine] a noté que ces personnes ont « exécuté avec plaisir tout ordre du président à Washington sous Biden » mais “se sont embrouillées lorsque Trump a soudainement remporté” les élections de novembre.
  • « Ils n’aiment tout simplement pas Trump, ils l’ont activement combattu, se sont ingérés dans la vie politique, dans les élections américaines. Trump a des idées différentes sur ce qui est bon et ce qui est mauvais, y compris en matière de politique de genre et sur d’autres sujets, et ils n’aiment pas ça« , a déclaré Poutine. […]
  • « Je vous assure que Trump, avec son caractère et sa persévérance, rétablira l’ordre assez rapidement. Et tous, vous verrez, bientôt tous se tiendront aux pieds du maître et remueront doucement la queue« , a soutenu Poutine.
