Agreed. I recently had the opportunity to offer a few ideas on the topic for Education Week. Link below: www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Reupping my warning that opting in to the fed voucher program could undercut STATE LAW challenges to vouchers. New fed rules say states can’t add conditions, so vouchers become a cost of doing business factored into state budgets. You can’t call vouchers unconstitutional, then join the scheme.

Today is the official pub day of THE POLITICAL SUPREME COURT!! I am grateful beyond measure to the many, many people who helped me get this book out into the world. 1/

Looking forward to joining a fantastic lineup of scholars at the Arizona State Law Journal’s “Education at a Crossroads: Law, Power, and the Future” symposium on November 13, where I’ll be moderating a panel discussion on “Education, Civic Participation, and Democracy.” Join us: bit.ly/3WMuTxR

Had such a great time at the Education Law Association’s annual conference!

One of the best pieces on education policy I’ve seen in a long time, and it’s not just because it quotes me haha archive.is/gOQv3

Honored to have been selected to join the inaugural cohort of Early Career Education Law Scholars convened by the AALS Section(s) on Education Law and Children and the Law! I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to share my latest research with such a welcoming community of scholars.

Some pretty staggering numbers from ED-OCR: the office began 2025 with approximately 19,000 pending complaints, received a record 23,879 new complaints that year, and resolved roughly 1% of its pending inventory. OCR’s inventory now exceeds 40,000 complaints and grows by about 2,000 *per month*.

Friends! We are thrilled to announce the Call for Proposals for our next annual meeting in Boston, MA, June 9-10, 2027. Please consider submitting a panel, roundtable, or individual paper proposal! lawandpoliticaleconomy.org?page_id=63

Great framing of one the major challenges confronting the Left's broader reconstruction effort. The way I've been thinking about bridging the gap is by focusing on the problem of power disparities. I applied this framework to the issue of regulatory public participation. fas.org/publication/...

Judge Tosses ED’s ‘Professional’ Degree Definition www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

“[T]he cultural narratives that Trump has propagandized—the vilification and dehumanization of immigrants and trans people, the shunning of childless women, the idea that Black public officials are all unqualified—stand as a significant barrier to delivering an affordability agenda.”

Yeah. A lot of this -- most? -- is absolutely willful ignorance. Especially when said about the South. Any good faith critics of this nature seem to confuse strategies with tactics. He built a toolkit of tactics specific to New York but his strategy is just functional, responsive governance.

one of the things that really gets me about Landor's case is he gave prison officials a *printed copy* of a court opinion and they *threw it in the trash* and violated him anyway by blocking Landor's lawsuit, the Court is confirming the law was worthless garbage ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/lando...

sometimes i am struck by the sheer wickedness of this man

"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

“Last year, in an interview on Fox News during her first week as education secretary, Ms. McMahon failed to come up with the name of the landmark law for disabled students. For many, the moment underscored the lack of experience that Ms. McMahon, a former pro-wrestling executive, brought to the job”

This looks good

The same administration that (with SCOTUS's blessing) says bans on conversion therapy violate the First Amendment is going after professional organizations for *recommending* gender-affirming care, something that is far more clearly pure speech.

That Trump is “opposed to racial preferences,” is news to me, and hard to square with, well, basically everything. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

What is LPE? Is it a reaction to law and economics? Does it have a method? What is its normative north star? Amy Kapczynski, Corinne Blalock, Aslı Bâli, Sabeel Rahman, Angela Harris, and Yochai Benkler offer their best answers to these questions in two sentences or less.

“When the Knicks won the NBA Cup this season, Brunson devised a plan to make sure that the peripheral people in the Knicks organization—medical staff, locker-room attendants, etc.—received a portion of the money that the players get for winning the in-season tournament. This is who Brunson is.” 🎁

New York City is the most perfectly "American" place in the nation, just one wave of newcomers after another, gradually building up the culture, one remarkable cultural collision after another. MAGA chuds hate NYC not because it's awful but because it disproves every lie they tell about immigration

Yes, but let me just clear this up: the scientific world is not divided on whether Musk is an engineering genius. There is near-unanimous agreement that he is not. We have been saying this repeatedly, and would love the non-scientific media to listen.

Cinnamon stopped by this morning and was clearly thrilled to learn that the Knicks won it all.

Another egregious assault on privacy.

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Knicks win first NBA title since 1973 with 94-90 victory over Spurs in Game 5.

Champs!!

Working my way through @ksabeelrahman.bsky.social ‘s excellent new piece in the @nyulawreview.bsky.social. nyulawreview.org/wp-content/u...

Also, happy #caturday to Sushi!

Opponents of the voucher program have often repeated that it subsidizes private school tuition for families who can already afford it. Our analysis showed that is largely true for the more than 3,000 recipients whose families make upward of $173,160 annually. www.tennessean.com/story/news/e...

“Instead of moving closer to fully funding public schools, federal vouchers will provide excuses to fund them less.”

well done, sports bluesky.

SPEECHLESS. LFGK
