The Education Department is six months late on school civil rights data
Ever notice how the homework you really don't want to do just kind of... disappears under the couch? Apparently, the federal government does the exact same thing when it comes to tracking school bullying.
Every couple of years, the federal government compiles a massive database on what’s actually happening inside American schools. We're talking about the real, gritty stuff: bullying, sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and how kids with disabilities are treated. It’s basically the only way anyone actually knows if a school is a safe place or a nightmare.
But now, the latest batch of data is stuck in bureaucratic limbo, running more than six months late under the Trump administration. No one is saying why, and no one is rushing to click "publish."
Keeping parents and researchers in the dark about school violence is certainly one way to pretend the problem doesn't exist.
