February 18, 2016 By Nancy Bailey 4 Comments

The ESSA has been difficult for most of us to interpret—although it is clear the U.S. Department of Education will now back out of a lot of school business.

The Sneaky Takeover of America’s Teacher Ed. Programs: Today’s Target Eastern Michigan University

November 30, 2014 By Nancy Bailey 22 Comments

Public schools are diverse institutions with children from many religious backgrounds. No child should be forced to worship according to another's beliefs. https://nancyebailey.com/2022/07/04/religions-destructive-effect-on-public-education-this-july-4th/
