La Proposición 50, que los demócratas presentaron como un referéndum sobre la administración Trump, atrajo mucho más apoyo de los latinos de California que la campaña presidencial de Kamala Harris el año anterior, según un análisis de datos de CalMatters. Este giro es una señal más de que la frágil coalición de apoyo latino al presidente Donald Trump se está disolviendo.

At one, she saw students working in small groups on lessons that align with the science of reading, which calls for phonics instruction and sounding out words. At the other, she didn’t. The difference between the two schools? The first served more affluent students.Klein Molk told that anecdote at a board meeting Thursday night during a discussion of a new policy that would require all Denver schools to use a science of reading-backed approach. The proposed policy would also require “early identification” of students with dyslexia and mandate that the district provide all students with “high-quality digital apps” so they can practice their literacy skills at home, among other requirements.“We, the board, can no longer ignore the huge disparities between proficient readers and readers who struggle,” said board member Monica Hunter, a former Denver Public Schools elementary school teacher who introduced the proposed policy.Those struggling readers are more likely to be Black and Latino, Hunter and others pointed out. State data shows 67% of white third graders in Denver met or exceeded expectations on state literacy tests last year, while only 26% of Black and 25% of Latino third graders did.The science of reading is a large body of research about how children learn to read. It’s also the most popular method for teaching literacy, and most states — including Colorado — have laws mandating that schools use scientifically based reading programs and teachers be trained.Denver Public Schools rolled out a science of reading curriculum called Core Knowledge Language Arts to elementary students over three years, starting in 2022-23 and ending in 2024-25. To comply with a federal court order on how DPS serves English language learners, the district also introduced a new Spanish reading curriculum, called Caminos.Denver has also been screening students for dyslexia. A state law passed in 2025 will require all Colorado districts to do so starting this fall. Some school board members asked why a new policy would be needed, given that state law covers some of the same topics. Community members wondered that, too.“What new action does it require that is not already mandated by the READ Act?” Tania Hogan, the executive director of the University of Colorado’s BUENO Center for Multicultural Education, asked during public comment at Thursday’s board meeting. The READ Act is Colorado’s landmark reading law, first passed in 2012 and amended several times since. Leah Schultz-Bartlett, the principal at Denver’s Beach Court Elementary, questioned whether the school board should be making decisions about reading curriculum.“It is not the board of education’s role to be involved in the daily operation of a school,” she said.But Hunter and others said the quality of reading instruction varies from school to school, sometimes because parents at more affluent schools can fundraise to hire extra reading interventionists. Several parents and teachers urged the board to support the new policy. “If you’ve ever been around someone who can’t read, they’re angry, they’re frustrated, because they can’t understand the world around them,” said parent Kayla Greathouse.It’s not clear when the board might vote on the proposal. Some board members seemed supportive, while others were hesitant. Board President Xóchitl Gaytán said she agreed with holding the superintendent accountable for raising reading scores, but that Hunter’s proposed policy was “way too prescriptive, way too operational.”The proposal is called Executive Limitation 22. Executive limitations are rules for the superintendent, who answers to the school board.Klein Molk urged her fellow board members to help Hunter make the proposal better “because the intent behind this is 100% correct.” Hunter said the board should act quickly.“Time is a luxury that, I just want to name, that a lot of students do not have,” she said.Melanie Asmar is the bureau chief for Chalkbeat Colorado.

Sign up for Chalkbeat Tennessee’s free newsletter to keep up with statewide education policy and Memphis-Shelby County Schools.The Tennessee supermajority’s redrawing of its Congressional districts to siphon Memphis Democrats into Republican seats came days before the Memphis-Shelby County school system takeover is expected to be signed into law. It’s an unprecedented confluence that could dilute the voting power of Tennessee’s largest majority-Black city.This week, Memphis Democrats decried an onslaught of Republican measures they say are aimed at Black Memphians, who will see their locally elected school board neutered by GOP political appointees just as they lose a Memphis-centered Congressional district aimed at protecting minority voting power. Senate Democratic Caucus Chair London Lamar, a Memphis Democrat, called the sweeping effort “an absolute power grab.”“You didn’t like our school board, you took that over,” Lamar said Thursday prior to the redistricting vote. “You didn’t like our airport authority. You took that over. And now, you don’t like the way Memphis votes. You’re going to take that away from us, too. You cannot claim local control while stripping Memphis voters from meaningful representation. You cannot claim to respect democracy while changing the rules.” Now, one of the main architects of the Memphis-Shelby County schools takeover wants to capitalize on the redistricting effort. Sen. Brent Taylor, the Memphis Republican who sponsored the Senate version of the takeover, announced Thursday he would run in the redrawn 9th Congressional District just minutes after the redistricting effort was signed into law. Taylor and other Republicans have denied the effort was tied to Memphis’ racial makeup but say they’re now able to further consolidate Republican power in Tennessee due to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.“This is about allowing Tennessee to maximize its partisan advantage,” said Sen. John Stevens, a Republican from Huntingdon, in a Senate debate this week.Taylor’s partner in the schools takeover, Memphis Republican Rep. Mark White, was one of the few Republicans who did not support the redistricting effort. White opted to not cast a vote in favor or against the measure alongside a handful of other Republicans who serve in more competitive districts in Shelby and Knox counties. The state takeover legislation awaits Gov. Bill Lee’s signature to become law. The law would shift control of the state’s largest public school district to a nine-person oversight board appointed by Tennessee’s top three Republicans, including the governor. The new board will diminish the authority of the local school board, which is in the middle of an election cycle that drew the largest voter turnout in over two decades for county-wide May 5 primary elections. Takeover advocates argue years of academic underperformance and district management drama necessitated the intervention, which accelerated after the school board in 2025 quickly fired a new superintendent. It also follows years of rising tensions between Tennessee Republicans, a majority-white party with supermajority power, and local leaders in Memphis, a longtime Democratic stronghold with a majority-Black population. Last year, Republicans imposed a state and federal law enforcement surge because of immigration and crime concerns. A Memphis school board member in April called the oversight law “racist” as Tennessee Republicans, all of whom are white, will seize control from the locally elected school board, the majority of whom are Black. Memphis parents have expressed concern about funding and support for a predominantly Black school district. The Republican supermajority has given the oversight board nearly unlimited power to dive into district records, from teacher evaluations to curriculum reviews, and control the district’s largest financial decisions. It will also have final say over the district’s operating budget and superintendent contract. Its power even extends in part to the Shelby County Commission, the county’s local governing body, which will be blocked from signing off on the MSCS annual budget until the oversight board gives its approval.
