Starting in 2019, supposedly in the name of equity, San Francisco’s barred all students from taking Algebra until ninth grade. A recent study of the policy finds, surprise surprise, that it was a massive failure—that it even exacerbated inequalities. https://t.co/V19Dq6liuF

"The long-term value of a bachelor’s degree is much greater than it initially appears," @ProfDavidDeming writes.

"If a college professor or pundit tries to convince you otherwise, ask them what they would choose for their own children." https://t.co/r3lV9JYVtX

PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP—

Donald Trump received a frosty reception during a hot September day at the Iowa - Iowa State football game on Saturday — and he wasn't the only one to feel the wrath amid a sea of thousands of angry football fans.

Attendees showed their disdain towards the Republican candidates vying for the Iowa primary vote and the photos have since went viral.
As previously reported, upon leaving his carefully staged events and entering the stadium, Trump was welcomed with mostly boos. Sure, some applauded.

But you can hear for yourself how the boos outweighed those showing the criminally indicted ex-president support.

I'm surprised no one has posted this in response to the WVU situation.

You can trace a lot of what's going on in public higher education to this single speech by Ronald Reagan in 1967, when he was Governor of California.

It shouldn’t be okay to anyone that kids are going to bed hungry or going all day without a meal.

From now on, every Pennsylvania public school student will get breakfast every morning — for free.

@Angry_Staffer Classroom supplies are easier in California this year. Teachers no longer have to buy snacks and food for their kids that show up hungry to school every day.

Free breakfast and lunch every day for every kid.

24 Black deaf students from Gallaudet University finally graduated after being denied their diplomas over 70 years ago! Although this is a reminder of the racial prejudice these students faced years ago, it’s beautiful to see them finally get the recognition they deserve!
