King Jr. Widely commended for his lifelong dedication to education, Dr. King now wants to bring his fresh perspective as an educator to the governor's seat of Maryland. Believing that education and public institutions truly can save lives, he shares his blueprint for closing the opportunity and achievement gaps from preschool through college.   KEY POINTS: - What drove Dr. John B.

King Jr. plans to prioritize investment in HBCUs - How to ensure every person and student has access to the ballot box   QUOTABLES: “Whether it's K-12 educators or higher-ed faculty and staff, you see how all the other systems impact students and their families. Whether or not they have safe and affordable housing, whether or not they are food insecure, whether or not they have health care — all of those issues you end up interacting with as an educator.” “That's one of the frustrations of this moment in our politics. We have the resources. The question is: Do we have the political will?”   OTHER RESOURCES: Learn more about John B. King Jr. and his run for Governor at: johnkingforgovernor.com John B.

Brent Maddin talks with Dr. John B. King, Jr., former U.S. Secretary of Education, and president and CEO of the Education Trust, an education civil rights organization focusing on education equity for low-income students and students of color, about equity and the education workforce today. 2:48: Dr. King describes how his perspective has been influenced by his experiences as a student, as a classroom teacher and as a civil servant and policymaker. “The thing that saved me was school. The consistency, the nurturing relationships, the engagement at school is the reason I'm alive today.” He goes on to describe the enormous tasks that are assigned to educators and the lack of support systems to help teachers achieve everything society asks of them. “We don't always provide the working conditions that folks need to stay in the work and feel good about the work, so we have work to do as a society.” 5:09: Dr. King sees how the pandemic has affected students and the inequities it's revealed. He hopes that this moment in time will be a “New Deal” moment, bringing major systemic change to the field of education and opening the eyes of society to the importance of investing in education for all students. 6:19: Dr. King details the work going on in his state of Maryland around the concept of “schools as communities.” The idea is that schools are already involved with so many different agencies like healthcare, social services, and the criminal justice system. 7:57: Dr. King gives examples of teams that are designed to address student needs as a group instead of relying on one classroom teacher. 11:15: Dr. King offers suggestions on how to broaden the definition of an educator by looking at the work of our international peers who have found ways to subsidize their work to improve outcomes. Diversify the teaching profession by creatively including people in positions that are not always in the spotlight like tutors, coaches, behavior specialists, etc. 14:07: Dr. King looks at healthcare as a model that takes a holistic approach to care for patients by assembling a team of specialists to serve them. Healthcare also offers an enormous range of career pathways to support the interests of healthcare professionals. 19:03: Dr. King believes in the importance of social and emotional well-being as part of overall student success and shares his perspective as it relates to outcomes being more than just reading and math scores. “We have to be careful In our desire to be metric-driven that we don't mistakenly narrow how we think about the purpose of education.” 22:16: Dr. King shares his experience as a new teacher and some of the creative ways he had to figure things out. He also shares a strategy that one local program initiated to help their teachers better understand the students, assigning new teachers to community groups prior to student teaching. This allowed the teachers to get to know their students and their families as a whole before they worked with them in the classroom. What Dr. King is currently reading: Pregnant Girl: A Story of Teen Motherhood, College, and Creating a Better Future for Young Families by Nicole Lynn LewisShare this episode with #NextEducationWorkforce.

On today's episode of Add Passion and Stir, we'll be talking with former Secretary of Education John B. King about closing achievement gaps in our educational systems. We recorded this episode on Monday March 21st just hours before the tragedy in Boulder, Colorado when a gunman entered a grocery story and killed 10 people. We spoke with Congressman Mike Thompson from California founder and chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. His timely and informed commentary on the Boulder shooting serves as a preamble to today’s podcast on dismantling systemic obstacles to equality in our society. Education Trust President and CEO and former US Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. joins Share Our Strength Managing Director of DEI Robert Simmons and Billy Shore to discuss the inequities in our education system and the new partnership between Education Trust and Share Our Strength. “The education system is inequitable at every level and gives the least to the kids who need the most. If our education system was more equitable, we would have a more equitable society,” states King. “[The recently-passed Child Tax Credit] gives me hope that maybe we’re coming to a place of greater public understanding of the role the government has to play in ensuring equality of opportunity,” he says. King, Simmons and Shore discuss their partnership intended to shine a spotlight on the connection between education and hunger. “Only 8% of African Americans live in a census tract with a grocery store. That’s a disaster. That’s a result of policy choices, and we can make different policy choices,” King believes. “Together, we can make clear that hunger is a symptom of a number of deeper issues that have to do with poverty, inequity, and structural racism,” concludes Shore. Join us and learn from one of the most inspiring leaders in education about how we can choose to make better policy choices around systemic inequities.

That Social Work Lady welcomes our first guest Ms. Cassie Williams, M. Ed. to talk parity in education. Ms. Williams, a leader in education, shares her experience as a product of traditional public schools, a parochial school, a private afrocentric school, and a charter school academy. As a leader, Ms. Williams is a champion for Education for Liberation which she defines as empowering students with the knowledge they need to 'be whatever they want to be.'During this conversation we explore the impact school choice had on the trajectory of our lives as well as the power adults in schools have to minimize the disparities students in urban schools experience. Schools being equally funded is the first step in eliminating the resource gap. However, once schools are funded with parity the adults in charge must take up the mantle of education students for their liberation.Let's build community!NOTE:The United States has had 2 black men serve as Secretary of Education:1. Rod Paige was the 7th United States Secretary of Education 2001 - 2005 during the Bush Administration. He was the architect of the No Child Left Behind Act. He was the first black person ever to serve as the US Secretary of Education.2. John B. King, Jr. was the 10th United State Secretary of Education 2016 - 2017 during the Obama Administration. To learn more about him please visit his website www.edtrust.org.

This week’s episode is taken from the second installment of the Conversations on Food Justice, a collaboration between Share Our Strength and the Aspen Institute’s Food and Society Program. Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (ME-1) moderates the discussion, which features former Obama Administration Secretary of Education (and current Education Trust President and CEO) Dr. John B. King Jr. and former Congresswoman Donna Edwards (MD-4). “Systemic racism operates to create structural barriers… This is the system that we created over 400 years. If we want something different we have to actively work to dismantle those systems,” explains King. “The system suggests that there’s something wrong with trying to figure out how to feed yourself and your family, that there is something negative about doing all that you can to access food,” notes Edwards. “If you look at federal programs, they’re really designed to keep people from accessing them more than they are to have people experience not being hungry,” says Edwards. King agrees. “We could center healthy eating and nutrition in our public policy. We choose not to… We really need to reorient how we think about food systems in our country,” he says. Join us for this thoughtful discussion about how we can better achieve food justice in America.

Only nine months after the Obama policy reversal, on November 13,  Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit on behalf of 6 Plaintiffs, including Parents' Rights In Education, against DALLAS SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 2; OREGON, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION; GOVERNOR KATE BROWN, in her official capacity as the Superintendent of Public Instruction; and UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION; BETSY DEVOS, in her official capacity as United States Secretary of Education as successor to JOHN B. KING, JR.; UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE; JEFF SESSIONS, in his official capacity as United States Attorney General, as successor to LORETTA F. LYNCH…This lawsuit defends the rights of individual students to privacy in respective locker/bath facilities while on the school campus.With no option for appeal, U.S. District Judge Marco Hernandez threw out the lawsuit. Case law cited by Judge Hernandez involved adults, not MINOR children. Oregon law, ORS659A.403 says “school districts may provide for minor children, safety and privacy, by maintaining sex segregated restrooms and locker rooms by biological sex, and provide single stall facilities for anyone requesting alternative accommodation, without breaking any laws.”The court adopts an overly narrow view of privacy that actually affords prisoners greater bodily privacy rights than public school students! The court places the interests of one student above the privacy, dignity and safety of all students; ignoring the reality that most people do not want to be in private facilities with members of the opposite sex.  The court acknowledges students' anxiety at exposing their bodies to members of the opposite sex, and admits the alternatives made available to all other students appear “inferior and less convenient”, but imposes those accommodations unequally on the majority anyway.Tyler Smith & Associates, Rural Business Attorneys, Canby Oregon, volunteered to take the case to the next step, with Attorney Ryan Adams arguing for our side, on July 11, 2019. As a result of Anderson's convincing words, we were successful in gaining an opportunity for appeal to the Ninth Circuit.On February 12, 2020 the Ninth Circuit panel issued its decision affirming the trial court in all respects.The day we sent out a News Alert reporting on the Ninth Circuits' decision, an email arrived from CPR-C requesting the opportunity to represent us in the event our current attorneys were not interested in taking the cast to the Supreme Court.What PRIE considered to be a disappointment, we are confident will prove to be a golden opportunity. We are privileged to work with CPR-C, because…."We offer representation to parents whose constitutionally protected fundamental right to direct the upbringing, care, and education of their children has been violated." CPR-CAccording to CPR-C, “Seeking review from the Supreme Court is always a long shot. However, the importance of the issues raised by this case, the egregious nature of the Ninth Circuit's decision, and the prominence of these issues throughout the country, makes this a strong candidate for the Court.”We believe our case is National Parents' Rights issue, and CPR-C shares our conviction.Support the show (https://www.parentsrightsined.com/support-the-cause.html)

U.S. Department of Education Secretary John B. King talks with Mary Luehrsen the new federal education law (ESSA), which defines music and arts as part of a well-rounded education.

THE ATTACK FROM THE LEFT This is how the left engages in its assault on the fabric of the civil society.  They look for the "soft spots" and then pick a fight.  Men have been dressing as women and passing for them since dirt was new.  It's hardly an issue for a male passing himself off as a woman in dress and demeanor, to use a woman's rest room.  Who would even notice? In their effort to undermine the civil society, the Left chooses its targets wisely.  The question is first posed to the public narrowly: Should transgender people be permitted to use public restroom facilities they identify with, rather than be limited to the restroom of the gender they were born to?   THE TYRANNY OF THE MINORITY It seems almost ridiculous to be having the conversation for a number of reasons.  To begin with, what is the legal definition of transgender?  Is the controlling factor in this definition, the gender the individual identifies with or the one they were born to?  Is no consideration to be given to their anatomical and genetic circumstance?  Is transgender, at least for some, really more of a behavioral, rather than a physical condition?  Moreover, how many people are we really talking about here?  This is an important consideration, given the fact that 99.7% of all Americans who don't identify as transgender will be compelled to accommodate 3 out of every 1,000 people who at least call themselves, "transgender." The most recent data from surveys including the 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Growth, the 2009 California Health Interview Survey and federal data such as the Decennial Census or the American Community Survey were analyzed by Gary Gates, a distinguished scholar at the Williams Institute of the UCLA School of Law.  Those surveys state that about 0.3% of the American population "identifies as transgender".  Here's the problem with that:  it's a subjective determination and the number of people who truly are transgender is likely to be much lower. Without a clear, legal definition of what is transgender, how could we possibly know who is transgender?  In its efforts to dictate federal policy to the states regarding so called transgender people, the Obama Administration has not only politicized the use of bathrooms, but they have issued rules that will now place school children at risk.  The risk is not necessarily with a person who is genuinely transgender.  Rather, the risk derives from the consequence of not having an objective definition of what a transgender person actually is.  Until now, all the discussions have centered on how the individual identifies themselves, leaving that definition entirely in their hands. SEXUALIZING SCHOOLCHILDREN As a practical matter, public school officials will have no way to prevent a male high school senior from showering with a 14 year old freshman female, provided the male declares himself as "identifying as a female."  On what basis could that ever be challenged?  It also creates conditions where rape and statutory rape are more likely.  How will school administrators and faculty police the school showers when they know the blunt instrumentalities of the federal government are arrayed against them?  The likely outcome is that school officials will not risk a legal battle that results in the draining of resources from the school system.  This will create even more chaos in the school system than already exists. HOMOSEXUALIZING SCHOOLCHILDREN The current controversy over rest rooms and showers in public facilities and schools should come as no surprise.  Since he was first elected in 2008, Barack Obama has unleashed the most militant and radical pro-homosexual agenda on Americans.  It began surreptitiously in the school system. Early in his first administration, Barack Obama appointed a "Safe Schools Czar" named Kevin Jennings.  The title "Safe Schools Czar" is very misleading.  Most would look at the term and feel comforted that the President cares about making schools safe for children.  But that isn't what the Safe Schools Czar was tasked to do.  His job was to make schools safe for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenders.  It was part of Obama's pro-homosexual agenda that was hiding in plain sight and ignored by the mainstream media. Kevin Jennings himself has quite an "interesting" background.  A transcript from a 1997 speech shows Office of Safe Schools chief Kevin Jennings in the U.S. Department of Education expressed his admiration for Harry Hay, one of the nation’s first homosexual activists who launched the Mattachine Society in 1948, founded the Radical Faeries and was a longtime advocate for the North American Man-Boy Love Association, NAMBLA. Obama appointed the most radical person anyone could have ever imagined into a position, the Congress wasn't required to approve.  Kevin Jennings had a past that was so completely off the charts radical, it's almost impossible to overstate.  Kevin Jennings was outspoken in his support of NAMBLA and the repeal of laws governing the age of sexual consent. In 2002, after the death of Harry Hay, Jennings said, "NAMBLA’s record as a responsible gay organization is well known. NAMBLA was spawned by the gay community and has been in every major gay and lesbian march. … NAMBLA’s call for the abolition of age of consent is not the issue. NAMBLA is a bona fide participant in the gay and lesbian movement. NAMBLA deserves strong support in its rights of free speech and association and its members’ protection from discrimination and bashing,” he said. Remember, this was Obama's first appointee for "Safe Schools Czar." Kevin Jennings was the founder of  the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) organization of Massachusetts.  GLSEN held its 10 Year Anniversary conference at Tufts University in 2000. This conference was fully supported by the Massachusetts Department of Education, the Safe Schools Program, the Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and some of the presenters even received federal money. During the 2000 conference, workshop leaders led a “youth only, ages 14-21” session that offered lessons in “fisting” a dangerous sexual practice, where the hand is forced into another person's anus.  Fisting kits were distributed to children by Planned Parenthood, another participant in the event (pictured here). There was a heightened sense of security with many Tufts campus police being highly visible in order to stop parents from seeing what occurred at the conference.   All  of this was the handiwork of Kevin Jennings, the man Barack Obama appointed.  Fury erupted in Congress and eventually Jennings was forced to resign his position, but today's actions by the Obama Justice Department and Department of Education are clear indications that Obama's agenda to promote homosexuality in American society has not abated. OBAMA'S RADICAL HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA   The Obama administration will send a letter to every public school district in the country telling them to allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity as opposed to their birth certificate. The letter, first obtained by The New York Times, is signed by officials at the Justice Department and Department of Education. It will be sent out to the districts on Friday. While the letter does not have the force of law, it does warn that schools that do not abide by the administration’s interpretation of civil rights law may face lawsuits or a loss of federal aid, The Times reported. "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement. “No student should ever have to go through the experience of feeling unwelcome at school or on a college campus,” Education Secretary John B. King Jr., said in his own statement. “We must ensure that our young people know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great education in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence.” Under the guidance, schools are told that they must treat transgender students according to their chosen gender identity as soon as a parent or guardian notifies the district that that identity "differs from previous representations or records." There is no obligation for a student to present a specific medical diagnosis or identification documents that reflect his or her gender identity, and equal access must be given to transgender students even in instances when it makes others uncomfortable, according to the directive. Status of "Bathroom Bill" Legislation | InsideGov "As is consistently recognized in civil rights cases, the desire to accommodate others' discomfort cannot justify a policy that singles out and disadvantages a particular class of students," the guidance says. The administration is also releasing a separate 25-page document of questions and answers about best practices, including ways schools can make transgender students comfortable in the classroom and protect the privacy rights of all students in restrooms or locker rooms. The move was cheered by Human Rights Campaign, a gay, lesbian and transgender civil rights organization, which called the guidelines "groundbreaking." "This is a truly significant moment not only for transgender young people but for all young people, sending a message that every student deserves to be treated fairly and supported by their teachers and schools," HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement. Earlier this week, the Justice Department and the state of North Carolina filed dueling lawsuits over the state’s controversial “bathroom” law, with the Obama administration answering an early-morning lawsuit filed by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory with legal action of its own. In their suit, the DOJ alleged a “pattern or practice of employment discrimination on the basis of sex” against the state over the law requiring transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond with the sex on their birth certificate. McCrory, in his lawsuit, accused the administration of a “baseless and blatant overreach” in trying to get the policy scrapped. "This is an attempt to unilaterally rewrite long-established federal civil rights laws in a manner that is wholly inconsistent with the intent of Congress and disregards decades of statutory interpretation by the Courts," the state’s suit, filed in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of North Carolina, said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
