I wanted to share a tragedy with you all. And ask you for help.

On Saturday night, my college friend Matt Graham, his wife Regan Cole-Graham and their two young boys were riding bikes in Los Angeles.

She was struck by a car and killed. She was also 7 months pregnant with their third child -- a little girl.

A @gofundme page has been set up for Matt and the kids.

I understand that not everyone is in a financial position to donate.

But, if you are, please give what you can to my friend who has had his entire life change in the space of the last 2 days.

Thank you.

“And experts said that they never heard of a public school district giving away its curriculum, developed with district experts and tax-payer resources, for free to another school system.” Great reporting by ⁦@nusaiblah⁩

“Anyone can impose mandates, especially with practically a free hand by the state. Only leaders can get others to follow and sustain changes long after the change agent is gone.”

Mike Miles says the 'science of reading' justifies limiting books in HISD. Experts say no.

@jswatz @meganmmenchaca @HoustonISD @HoustonChron Well, you know, the nuance between news stories and opinion columns can be tricky for some.
