Increasingly being submitted AI-written articles. Even the worst human writing has an abundance of signals about the writer in the choices they make. AI-written pieces give no signals and that is deeply weird to read. Some common features include...

3. Many teachers oppose these laws and find quiet ways to resist them. But Boismier made a spectacle of her protest, and paid a heavy price. She is now mounting a federal lawsuit. I hope you'll read this story. nytimes.com/2026/01/29/us/…

2. Boismier may be the only teacher in America to have lost her professional license as a result of the 20+ state laws that now restrict the curriculum around race, gender, sexuality and American history. nytimes.com/2026/01/29/us/…

1. What does it mean to protest in America today? In rare cases, it can be deadly. It can also upend a life in profound ways, including losing one's livelihood and career. That's what happened to Summer Boismier, a former teacher and the subject of my new piece.

Since everyone is talking about my depressing article, here's a counterpoint: My NYC public school 3rd grader this afternoon: "We're learning to be skeptical. But to be skeptical, you have to have evidence. Otherwise, people will be skeptical of YOU!"

The decline in English-class book reading is very real. We did a deep dive, and found many teens assigned just 1 or 2 books per year. Instead, they're reading excerpts on a screen, like this one, 859 words of "Beloved."

@MAOrthofer @nytimes Thanks for pointing this out. People really focus on what the curriculum laws means for race and LGBTQ issues, but they’re much broader than that and also take aim at sexuality in general.

A few months ago, I started to hear from history teachers that the curriculum materials they’d used for years were being pulled from the market — or that they were not being allowed to use them because of political pressures. My investigation of this trend published today ...

@CurriculumIP @rsnathanson1 @nytimes Yes, aware of all this and the helpful report! We’re focusing the callout on high school to manage volume and have a narrow enough field to make journalistic comparisons easier, but we share the interest in the whole spectrum. It’s a concern of mine as the parent of a 3rd grader.

The problem is not specific to HS. It starts in elementary schools. 🚨🚨 Every single state curriculum list for elementary ELA includes at least one book-starved program, and usually multiple. Pls help @DanaGoldstein of @nytimes know these critical details:

Were you or your kids assigned full books to read in high school English — novels, nonfiction or plays from beginning to end — or mostly shorter excerpts? We are digging into this very controversial maybe-trend and need your help: nytimes.com/2025/09/24/us/…

Recently retired middle school ELA teacher here. All they were given were excerpts, and we were told to read them to the students orally because reading levels were too low for them to read them on their own. My last year our 7th grade team went to the book closet and gave whole copies of "The Outsiders" to our students and we read the whole thing. And were called out on it, told we are to only follow the curriculum with excerpts from novels. No wonder the kids can't read. The wonder, the joy of exploring characters in depth has been taken from them.

We are deeply grateful that Charlie Kirk made a point to call out far right hatred of Jews, including efforts to poison the minds of young men online. In this time of deep divisions, we hope more public figures follow Charlie's example by fighting antisemitism within their own political camp. May Charlie Kirk's memory forever be a blessing.
