In 2026, let's walk together, finding every opportunity (and make our own if none are found) to hold candid conversations on oppression, to become aware, remain informed, and do the heavy lifting required. Let's find a way to cultivate hope, dismantle despair, summon courage, suppress ego, think critically, extend compassion, and ignite creative endeavor in each of us - You know, 'the stuff of great humanity. There's a wonderful generation coming up, looking for our example; we can do this.

In April, the U.S. Dept. of Edu., by amending federal guidance, stopped defining public school educators as professionals, meaning graduate students in education cannot borrow as much federal money to pay for advanced degrees as others the Trump admin. defines as professionals.

NEW: High school student who was called "hot" by a school board member shreds the school board for failing to protect her. "You're all cowards," she said. High schooler Hannah Campbell ripped the Washington County, Tennessee, board after board member Keith Ervin told her, "God, you’re hot, you know that?" last month. Despite the incident, Ervin was not fired. He claimed that he called her "hot" because she was asking "smart questions." "You know, I’m old school. I’m an old farm boy. And I didn’t mean nothing by anything. I just was proud of her," he previously said.

NEW: A Tennessee school board member is standing by his comments after telling a high schooler, "God, you’re hot," during a meeting. No one was seen challenging Washington County official Keith Ervin after he made the comment and put his arm around the girl. "God you’re hot, you know that? Where do you go to school at?" he said. Ervin is standing by his remarks after receiving backlash from the community, says he was impressed by her "smart questions." "I mean, I was impressed and the other board members was impressed because of the question she asked," he said to a local news outlet. "And, you know, I’m old school. I’m an old farm boy. And I didn’t mean nothing by anything. I just was proud of her." Ervin claims there is a lot of "context missing" from the viral videos. Thousands of people have since signed a petition demanding his removal.

“What the Roberts Court is making possible,” @AdamSerwer argues, “is a country where white people can maintain their political dominance at the expense of Americans who are not white.” He examines what to expect following the Voting Rights Act ruling: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

This reader comment on a NY Times column where Ross Douthat ponders that maybe God is speaking to us through A.I. is an absolute fastball on the corner with movement, and deserves a column. "Lightening was once mysterious too; mystery did not make Zeus correct" is perfect.

some Americans have literally been paying into Social Security for 50, 60 years; & this multi-billionaire from South Africa dismisses Social Security as a mere "entitlement"--not workers' actual pay, deferred. cutting Social Security would be literally--not metaphorically: literally--stealing earned money from American citizens. please let us hope that MAGA gets this news from some source other than Fox; otherwise, MAGA might agree to it without comprehending.

And there it is. Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.”

“Education is not the delivery of content. It is the formation of persons capable of judgment, attention and intellectual honesty. That requires a genuine encounter with difficulty: the friction of a hard text, the discomfort of revising what one believed. ncregister.com/commentaries/s…

@MrLandesman @MrARobbins In one of our formative assessment projects, teachers told us they had to recalibrate how much they could expect to cover in a lesson, because when they discovered how many students hadn't understood something, they felt obliged to do something about it...
