The American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the only organization representing the entire scope of the museum community, today released two groundbreaking reports revealing indisputable evidence that museums contribute more to the United States economy than previously thought and have widespread public support that transcends political affiliations and geographic locations.
Oregon's federal boarding school for Native Americans drew further scrutiny Wednesday at a hearing on Capitol Hill.
Bureau of Indian Education Director Tony Dearman appeared before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce to answer questions about Chemawa Indian School, budget cuts and his agency's efforts to reform long-ailing programs for Native education across the country.
Oregon Democratic Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici pressed Dearman on Chemawa.
The Trump administration is seeking to slash nearly $4 billion in annual funding for student aid programs, but the two-year budget deal signed into law last week complicates that proposal.
A group of students at Scappoose Middle School were given the chance to meet Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici earlier this week.
Bonamici, who represents Oregon's 1st Congressional District, made a visit to the school Tuesday, Jan. 23, and took a short tour of the school's STEM Lab, spoke with students, and spent time observing seventh-graders learning to run a vinyl cutter and printer as part of their design and modeling class elective.
STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and math.
It's clear, as we mark the one-year mark of the Donald Trump show, that the Official Dislike list includes immigrants, many of the countries they come from, corporate taxes and reporters who ask annoying questions.

This regime is deeply suspicious of people who think they know something.
