This NYT piece is an endless stream of bangers.

I swear, one of the more destructive recent cultural trends has been the combined push to frame all distress or discomfort as mental illness, and then to encourage people to form their identity around being “mentally ill.”

Students at Northern Virginia Community College are offered a direct path to a bachelor’s at nearby George Mason University. Students receive dual admission at both schools and they can choose from 87 academic pathways telling them exactly which classes they need.

[Mr. McCarthy @MrMcCarthy101]

Among nearly 1 million students who started at a community college in 2016, just one in seven earned a bachelor’s degree within six years, according to data from the National Student Clearinghouse.

Thread: The Supreme Court is hearing a big case tomorrow. It should unite everyone: left, right & center. And the national press has almost totally ignored it.

Eventually politicians will strip CDC and other public health agencies of their power, and I won't be able to argue with them.

Why?
Public health misused and abused its powers

Perfect opportunity to remind you that every time you see schools touting graduation rates, you should immediately compare to literacy rates.

Students don’t hate technology. They hate the substitution of technology for work that was already busy-work on paper.
