The rhetorically modest but functionally powerful ruling that ended segregation shouldn’t be misused to forestall other efforts at racial equality.

The passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act in 2015 eliminated the federal requirement that teachers be highly qualified to teach. This regulatory freedom, combined with a shortage of trained and qualified teachers, has led some states to allow unqualified people to teach children.

Texas used this freedom to adopt a new state law that allows almost any school to hire unlicensed teachers. As a result, Texas schools now hire more unlicensed new teachers than licensed ones. The supply problem is especially acute in rural and small-town schools, where almost 75% of new teachers hired in 2023-2024 were unlicensed. This is up from 17% in 2013-14.

A special education staffing crisis is raging through many U.S. school districts. It's taking a toll on students and families.

The final pro-Palestinian encampment in the greater Boston area disbanded Tuesday. Here's a look at how colleges across Massachusetts handled the protest movement.

The elected imbeciles strolling the halls of government. The platitudes with which they perfume their genocidal hypocrisy regarding bombed children. The Congressional committees which conduct themselves as a grotesque amalgam of the Sanhedrin and the Council Of Trent. All are a direct result of a citizenry with a limitless inability to fathom.

BookTok can be great for young readers, but some of the recommended content can be explicit and violent.

In the annals of American entertainment history, one narrative stands out for its resilience, creativity, and defiance against racial segregation: the Chitlin Circuit. Emerging as a network of live entertainment venues catering exclusively to African American audiences and performers during the era of Jim Crow, the Chitlin Circuit not only shaped the cultural landscape of the United States but also provided a crucial platform for Black artists to thrive amidst adversity. — Obehi Ewanfoh

Chitlins, short for “chitterlings,” are fried or stewed animal intestines, usually from hogs. This dish is a Black American food tradition from the poor and working-class. Growing up in Kentucky, chitlins were served at almost every major family event. Chitlins is also a metaphor for the ad-hoc collection of churches, ‘jook joints’, nightclubs, restaurants, and theaters. These venues and other ‘cultural touch-points’ are part of what is known as the black archive. Black archivists work to render Black lives and Black culture visible in places where they are often positioned as nameless subjects in the historical record and academic canon.

The outer layers of the sun’s atmosphere are a blistering million degrees hotter than its surface. NASA sent a probe to find out why—by getting closer to the star than ever before.

Don Quixote, idealist and dreamer, jousted at windmills.

Bill Golden jousts at Lightships.

What he’s attempted surely can be called “quixotic.” Then again, what he’s accomplished is more than whimsical. He and his wife Kristen have rescued and in one case refurbished two of the most historic Lightships in United States history — therefore two of the most historic vessels afloat.

How, why, and what might happen next, is a tale worthy of Cervantes.

Lightships occupy a unique niche in maritime history.

Student protestors voluntarily ended their encampment Tuesday morning. Harvard was the last remaining encampment in the Boston area, after a string of others have been cleared out by police, resulting in arrests and school discipline.

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft captured outbursts, jets and rivers of plasma beneath the arch of a glowing coronal loop.

Researchers are learning that handwriting engages the brain in ways typing can't match, raising questions about the costs of ditching this age-old practice, especially for kids.
