Karol Markowicz sits down with education researcher and policy expert Jay Greene, Director of Research at Do No Harm and Senior Fellow at the Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies, for a wide-ranging conversation about school choice, antisemitism, higher education, DEI, medicine, and the future of American education. Greene explains his research into antisemitism and challenges the idea that greater education necessarily reduces anti-Jewish attitudes. He discusses an experiment designed to measure differences in how respondents treated Jewish and non-Jewish subjects and offers his theory about the political and social forces that can sustain antisemitism. Karol and Jay also dive into the dramatic expansion of school choice, including Greene’s role in developing what he calls the “Red State Strategy.” Greene explains why advocates shifted their argument toward parental control over children's education and discusses the growth of universal school-choice programs following the pandemic. Plus, Greene discusses why he believes Jewish institutional life could experience a renaissance, his upcoming research, and why his advice for young people is simple: start adulthood early—work, marry, build a family, and avoid unnecessarily delaying adulthood.

According to many in the Trump administration, closing the US Department of Education would increase efficiency, reduce bureaucracy, and give states more control over education.But according to opponents of the move, closing the Department would create a bureaucratic web that would be confusing for states to navigate, weaken civil rights enforcement, and do little to raise student achievement.Once abstract, these debates are now anything but. Since his second term began, President Trump has signed an executive order directing the Department to begin shutting itself down, the Department has cut about half of its staff, and the Department has announced several interagency agreements to shift certain federal programs to other agencies.Against this backdrop, on this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus and four experts discuss and debate whether we should close the US Department of Education.Note: This episode is adapted from the most recent installment of the American Enterprise Institute's Education Policy Debate Series, which was held at AEI on September 2.

The Special Investigating Unit will now probe nearly R4 billion in contracts between Khumzi Investments and the Eastern Cape Department of Education. UDM leader, General Bantu Holomisa wrote to the Auditor-General and Parliament, flagging R3.4 billion allegedly spent on travel and accommodation over five years. He says 1,317 payments worth R336 million were made to the company in 2025 alone, while many schools still lack basics like toilets and transport. We spoke to General Holomisa.

“Everybody talks about genocides around the world, but when the killing is slow and spread over a hundred years, no one notices. Where there are no mass graves, no one notices. American outrage is always for show. It has a shelf life.” ― Percival Everett, The Trees   Jenny — Vulnerability becomes the scapegoat “It felt like a projection of vulnerability. We don't want to acknowledge how precarious one medical bill could be, one school bill could be. And so I think there becomes this hatred of whoever represents vulnerability. And right now that feels really loud for the immigrant community. There's this vitriol from privileged spaces because we don't want to sit with how precarious our privilege is and how that squeeze is happening. And so what always happens? There becomes a scapegoat rather than looking at, wait, how do we address the systems that are squeezing us so that we don't have people in these vulnerable situations in the first place?”   Rebecca — Masculinity and the inability to say “I don't know” “Having watched him, the ways in which I now understand how men are not allowed to say things like, ‘I don't know, and I'm not sure. And I need to look that up.' … There's something there in the ways in which we are allowed to be in society that I think can invite this: Dude, why can't you just pause, step out of the room, go look it up, and then come back and cite the person from whom you got the answer? Why can't you just say, ‘They're an expert and they're telling me the answer is this, so that's what we're going with'?”   Danielle — Who gets imagined as belonging “Someone told me that because of my pain and zeal, I make a lot of unjustified charges against various groups of people and that builds more barriers and walls between white people and Latinos. And it was just like—yeah, because in the end there's this internal bodily drive to live in a certain kind of reality, to see the world from a certain kind of space. And you don't fit in that reality. I don't fit in it. My family doesn't fit in it. Your family doesn't. So therefore, you vote based on your reality…. It's better without you. No matter what, as long as you're gone, our life will be better. Who cares about healthcare? As long as you're not here, life is better.” Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

Is the Department of Education really being dismantled, or is this just political theater?In this episode, Jim Iuorio sits down with Discovery Institute senior fellow Keri Ingraham to break down what's actually happening inside Washington's push to unwind federal control over K-12 education. Ingraham has been in the room for it from the White House executive order that started the process to the policy fights over student loans and school choice.They get into why the federal government only funds about 10% of public education but controls 90% of the rules, why $1.7 trillion in student loans is moving to the Treasury, and how a new $1,700 tax credit is already pulling Democrat governors into the school choice fight. Keri also makes the case for trade schools, micro schools, and rethinking what a "good" education path looks like.If you want to understand where American education is actually headed, this is the conversation.Timestamps: 00:01 Introduction and Guest Overview 01:15 Keri Ingraham's Background and Role in Washington 02:48 Is Department of Education Reform Real or Just Talk 05:41 The 10/90 Funding and Regulation Gap 09:21 Returning Education Control to the States 12:05 Moving Student Loans to the Treasury 16:20 Should Loans Cover Degrees That Don't Pay Off 18:45 Aviation Academy and the $188K Pilot Path 21:06 College Networking vs Skipping the Degree 26:34 The Rise of Micro Schools 29:00 Public Education as a Jobs Program 36:22 The $1,700 Education Freedom Tax Credit 43:12 Teacher Certification as a Barrier to Talent 46:53 Personal Finance vs Algebra II in Graduation RequirementsFollow Keri Ingrahamhttps://x.com/KeriDIngraham?lang=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/keridingraham Stay Connected With Us  https://x.com/bob_iaccino https://x.com/jimiuorio  https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-iaccino/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-iuorio/ For business inquiries: haley@haynowmedia.com

Sixty percent of Medicare's mental health workforce is made up of clinical social workers — and they're being reimbursed at 75 cents on the dollar compared to clinical psychologists. That's not a footnote. That's a workforce crisis hiding in plain sight. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmy Williamson — social worker, NASW Vice President, and seasoned Capitol Hill advocate — for one of the most practical, non-partisan conversations about politics and healthcare you'll hear anywhere. Jimmy just returned from a full day of lobbying on the Hill, and he breaks down exactly what that looks like, what's at stake, and why every healthcare employee — not just the C-suite — has a role to play. You'll hear: Why clinical social workers are fighting to move their Medicare reimbursement rate from 75% to 85% — and how it would actually save Medicare $420 million How the Department of Education's reclassification of nursing and social work is quietly capping the next generation's borrowing limits and shrinking the workforce pipeline The Farm Bill's Hot Foods Act and why a working single mother's ability to buy a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store is a healthcare issue Why politicians want to hear from constituents — and how to get your voice in front of the right people without spending hours doing it The first move anyone can make this week to stop being a bystander and start being a citizen This episode won't make you angry.

The Education Department's Office of the Chief Information Officer lost more than half of its staff in early 2025 during the Trump administration's reduction-in-force campaign, leaving some suboffices completely empty, the agency's Office of the Inspector General found in a report issued Monday. The OIG used Microsoft Office and Teams to track down who was subject to the RIF during the first nearly ten weeks of President Donald Trump's second term, finding it gutted 40% or 1,579 of the agency's workers in total. The OIG said it was presented with a scope limitation for the review due to the department not providing all requested information or giving unfettered access to Department staff, which limited its ability to fully address the review objective. Specifically in the CIO's office, the OIG counted 44 remaining employees of the 92 employed in January 2025 — a 52% reduction. About 8% of all separated employees in the agency were in IT management, it found, and about $6 million in OCIO contracts were terminated as part of the Department of Government Efficiency's massive agency reorganization campaign in early 2025. Suboffices within the OCIO that are statutorily required to oversee all departmental operational enterprise IT infrastructures and software, develop IT investment performance measures and conduct security reviews mandated by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act have no remaining employees, the report said. NASA issued a long-awaited list of awardees for the latest iteration of a multibillion-dollar cross-government IT acquisition vehicle, moving the large-scale contract forward. In a brief notice on Monday, the agency said it would start processing the awards for the sixth generation of its Solutions for Enterprise‑wide Procurement contract, known as SEWP VI. It also disclosed more than 2,100 awardees across three categories: IT solutions, enterprise-wide IT services, and mission-based IT services. Among the hundreds of awardees, the list includes IBM, Leidos, KPMG, Carahsoft Technology Corp., Peraton, REI Systems, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), CACI, Cherokee Nation Government Solutions, Amivero and Guidehouse. All of the awards are indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, with a 10-year ordering period and a maximum ordering value of $20 billion. The contract period begins Nov. 1 and will run through October 2036. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

This is the 4PM All-Local update on Thursday, April 16.

Host Alex Usher speaks with Daniel Collier and Michael Kofoed about the uncertain status and evolving role of the U.S. Department of Education under the Trump administration. They unpack why the department still exists despite efforts to dismantle it, and what that reveals about the limits of executive power. The conversation explores key policy shifts around student aid, accreditation, and DEI, and how legally fragile or unclear directives are shaping institutional behaviour across higher education. They also examine major changes to student loan repayment, including the move to a new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), and what it means for borrowers. Collier and Kofoed reflect on the risks of governing through executive action and how upcoming political shifts could reshape the future of federal higher education policy.
