*** YOUR DAILY DO'S – April 4th MORNING EDITION ***  Wendi Lindquist
Yesterday was a very sad day for higher education in Washington state. The Zag’s lost to North Carolina in the final game of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. While there’s always a next year for sport’s teams, education deserves our attention right now.
**********************
1. School choice sounds like a great idea in theory, but it tends to lead toward discrimination based on race, ethnicity, social class, and ability. Read up on the difficulties one Arizona mother encountered while shopping around for schools for her daughter: http://wapo.st/2oTnwzM
Call your members of congress and Secretary Betsy DeVos and tell them why you think the Department of Education’s push for school choice is not the answer.
**********************
2. #GIVE5: Page Ahead is a Washington based nonprofit that helps get books in the hands of low income kids all across the state. By working with at risk children early in their learning process, Page Ahead helps them build strong reading skills and avoid the problems created by illiteracy. Donate $5 to help give all kids in Washington a head start on learning: http://www.pageahead.org/
Although Page Ahead doesn’t need help with book drives, there are a lot of other groups from public schools in rural areas to nonprofits serving kids that can use your gently used books. It’s a great way to get started on your spring cleaning.
**********************
3. Several weeks ago, the president withdrew an Obama era rule that clarified bathroom and locker room protections for transgender students. Mashable put together this handy list of 8 things YOU can do to help support trans kids: http://on.mash.to/2oDCf2o. 
Don’t have time to read the whole article? Take a moment to show your support for trans youth. Tweet, Facebook, or reach out to the trans kids (as individuals or in general) and let them know you care.
