Head Start centers told to avoid 'disability,' 'women' and more in funding requests New court documents reveal a list of nearly 200 words or phrases the Trump administration told Head Start programs it does not want to see in their funding requests.

Court filings show the Trump admin banned Head Start from using words like “disability,” “race,” “women,” & “trauma.” Silencing reality doesn’t protect kids—it hides their needs. #HeadStartMatters #SayTheWords #EducationJustice.

October is Head Start Awareness Month and we are highlighting our incredible head start team this whole week! Recently the staff at our Early Learning Center did some team building with a painting class. We love the creativity of our staff! #HeadStartMonth #HeadStartMatters
