Dozens of House Democrats have urged Education Secretary Linda McMahon to explain a growing backlog of civil rights complaints at the Department of Education, raising concerns that staff cuts have stalled investigations meant to protect students. Led by Representative Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), 70 lawmakers sent a letter questioning how the Office of Civil Rights is handling tens of thousands of complaints after hundreds of attorneys and staff were laid off at the start of the Trump administration. The lawmakers cited reports that more than 22,000 complaints were filed in 2024 and that the office is now grappling with about 25,000 cases and 7,000 open investigations, with some staff rehired only temporarily. They claimed no racial harassment or discrimination investigations have been resolved since President Donald Trump took office, and are seeking information on the size and nature of the backlog, staffing levels and the standards being used to determine discrimination.

California
San Francisco public schools closed on Monday as teachers initiated a strike for the first time in nearly 50 years, demanding improved healthcare benefits and pay raises. The United Educators of San Francisco walked off the job after negotiations with San Francisco USD failed. Union president Cassondra Curiel stated: "This week, we said enough is enough," highlighting the affordability crisis faced by educators. The strike affects around 50,000 students, leaving families scrambling for childcare. Superintendent Maria Su noted: "Every day this strike continues has real consequences," pointing to the loss of instructional time and support for vulnerable students. The district is facing a $102m budget deficit and has proposed a 6% pay raise over two years, while the union is asking for a 9% increase. Rising healthcare costs remain a significant issue, with premiums reaching $1,500 a month for families.

Florida
Seven years after the Parkland school shooting, Florida lawmakers are revisiting a significant gun reform. House Bill 133 proposes lowering the age to purchase a firearm from 21 to 18, reversing a law enacted in 2018 after the tragic event at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 lives were lost. Political scientist Aubrey Jewett noted: “It was one of the first times that I was surprised by the Florida Legislature since conservative Republicans have taken over.” Although the bill has passed in the Florida House, it lacks a Senate counterpart, and Jewett suggests that the odds of it becoming law this session are "slightly against" due to mixed signals from Senate leadership. Previous attempts to change the age restriction have failed in recent years, and the current law has faced multiple constitutional challenges, all upheld by federal judges.
