We are excited to announce that Delaware Senate Bill 297 has passed! This bill was led by Senate Majority Leader Bryan Townsend and House Member Sophie Phillips, the only AANHPI member of the Delaware General Assembly. SB 297 requires the inclusion of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander history as well as other racial, ethnic, and cultural histories in Delaware's K-12 classrooms. On May 21, 2024, SB 297 passed unanimously in the Delaware Senate. It then passed unanimously in the Delaware House of Representatives on June 26, 2024. After this bill is signed by the Governor, Delaware will become the 7th state to require AANHPI history in K-12 classrooms, after IL, NJ, CT, RI, FL, and WI. Make Us Visible is proud to have led efforts in 5 of these states. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing inclusive education to Delaware!

#OnThisDay, May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court delivered its unanimous 9-0 decision overturning the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling as it applied to public education, making school segregation unconstitutional. Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered the opinion of the Court, which held that “separate but equal” facilities were inherently unequal and violated the protections of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Warren stated, “Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments...it is a principal instrument in awakening the child to cultural values, in preparing him for later professional training, and in helping him to adjust normally to his environment. These days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.” Schools in Washington, D.C. were desegregated under Bolling v. Sharpe, rather than Brown, because the 14th Amendment only applied to states. D.C. public school segregation was deemed unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment instead. Reactions to the decision ranged from jubilation and pride to hostility and fear.

Today marks the 70 year anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. On May 17, 1954, a decision in the Brown v. Board of Education case declared the “separate but equal” doctrine unconstitutional. Today we recognize this monumental decision. Today we also recognize that much work remains. #EDLINKS #EducatingTheNewHumanity to #AwakenAndLiftHumanity to #SeeGoodDoBetter

Join us in downtown Austin or online on Tuesday, April 16, for “How new laws are affecting public education.” Much of the debate around education in the Texas Legislature last year centered on legislation that would allow families to use public dollars to send their children to private schools. But state lawmakers also debated other public education issues, and key legislation was passed to address some of the gaps in academic achievement in the wake of disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. At the event, we’ll take a look at what has helped Texas children catch up with their studies and the lingering challenges they face. We’ll also discuss the impact of new laws — like investments in high-quality instructional materials, targeted tutoring for struggling students and accelerating advancement in math — and what else the state can do to help Texas students.
