I know this is the least of our problems right now, but Melania's hat looks really dumb.

Today is the National Day of Remembrance for boarding schools in the United States. Not sure what boarding schools are? You are not alone. Only 4 states include the history boarding schools in their curriculum.

One piece of good news today seems to be that AERA is done with their dusty old membership platform, and I am here for it.

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

The best way to combat bad speech is with more speech crowd is stunningly silent.

One thing I think about a lot is a bumper sticker I saw often in the early 2000s that said "Why the hell should I have to press 1 for English?"

Hi, friends! This weekend I'll be walking with one of my Philly besties to raise money for brain aneurysm research because the federal government is obviously not going to do it. Could you please help us out here? give.bafound.org/site/TR/Even...

All school shootings are political violence.

📘 New study on how grade 12 math students experience relationships with teachers and how those relationships relate to achievement. Findings highlight a need for supportive, inclusive classrooms and targeted PD to help teachers form stronger relationships with diverse learners.

Homesickness content. Emphasis on sickness.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I am once again asking why do we make kids apply to receive a public good. share.inquirer.com/4au88a

Nuance!

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Just dropped the toddler off at preschool! Guess who cried more...

I didn't initially appreciate the elite factor in Trump's rise, but now I recognize it's so important to countering authoritarianism.

And so it begins... www.augustahealth.com/2025/09/augu...

One thing that seems likely to happen is that there will be an uptick in interest in the COVID vaccine in blue states and supply won't be able to keep up with demand.

Many of the people still active on Twitter and bashing Bluesky were declaring "Twitter is not real life" daily in 2019-2020. Text-based social media has always been distinct and in many ways unrepresentative. But the actual frustration they have is with forums that empower progressives/leftists.

In my mind, this current problem deserves our attention more than decisions school boards made in response to their constituents five years ago: share.inquirer.com/suAvmV

This was because some white people — especially in the South — bristled at the thought of their children being taught by a Black teacher, let alone have the leader of the school be Black. Learn more on blackprincipals.org

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

You know what to do, C'ville friends!

I want to encourage those of you who procrastinate like I do about using my FSA/HSA funds and then end up leaving money on the table to consider the FSA Store as a way to spend down funds & order Plan B etc... to donate to community groups, etc.

What continues to be interesting to me is how former Republicans understand the stakes of what we're up against while reactionary centrists continue to punch left.

trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa

I have an op-ed at @inquirer.com today. All of us who care about democracy need to decide how we'll respond as we see our institutions, our work, and our communities being attacked. Many of us in academia are standing up for our values and our students. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

One more neoliberal reform, bro.

I looked back @cvilleschools.bsky.social timeline on deciding to place police back in schools despite evidence that this move actively harms kids and found that it seems to be based on an analysis conducted by a firm called Navigate360. charlottesvillepublic.ic-board.com/attachments/...

Imagine caring about this.

Schools should be safe spaces for all students, regardless of immigration status. Our new checklist helps educators support immigrant students and uphold every child’s right to learn: go.tcf.org/checklist

“Community colleges, along with regional public universities, are the workhorses of higher education in the United States, which has roughly 4,000 degree-granting schools. Some nine million students are enrolled at community colleges, accounting for 43 percent of America’s undergraduates.”

The school board in particular is falling down on its job of representing the community when school administration comes up with ideas that take into account only a very narrow set of concerns.

What's particularly funny-not-funny to me about the centrist language discourse is what is it if not a set of tone policing purity tests?

Reminder-to-self for the new school year: Our answer to "why are we learning this?" has to be more/better than career-related skills. So much more, so much better.

Back in C’ville, and I can’t believe I ever thought the traffic here is bad.

I’m old enough to remember when we rebuilt I-95 in less than two weeks. share.inquirer.com/Tzm5km

2 bits of data from new Economist/YouGov poll..... 13% support for cutting research funding to universities. 24% among Republicans. Polling on this continues to be catastrophic for the Rs, suggests Dems should be learning far harder into standing up for science and our universities. 1/

We struggle with data-for-data's-sake; that the existence of data itself is virtuous and worth responding to. What school leaders are telling us is that the data they have in heaps neither describes the problems nor the solutions they face. 🤷

Hey, guess what this is going to do to school attendance?

“Researchers say that if IES isn’t rebuilt, educators and policymakers will be in the dark about how to improve and understand American schools.”
