[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Our colleges are stronger when they are racially diverse. And America is stronger because we are tapping into our full range of talent.

Today's Supreme Court decision is not the last word.

[Jack Bissonnette, Ph.D. @bisso_jack]

This ruling from the Supreme Court perpetuates the issues of segregation and polarization in US educational organizations, rather than honing the strengths of our country: Diversity & Innovation

Diversity should be explicitly measured as a success indicator. #affirmativeaction

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The Supreme Court rejected affirmative action at Harvard and UNC. The major ruling curtails race-conscious college admissions in the U.S., all but ensuring that elite institutions become whiter and more Asian and less Black and Latino.

Hispanic families were some of the earliest adopters in making an intentional choice in their children’s choice of school—and they continue to do so. See the data showing high support for #CharterSchools in the Hispanic community #HispanicHeritageMonth https://t.co/m8nwgktmZX

@carlosbaggage28 I’ve found running or lifting weights after work always allows me to reset my sleeping schedule 💯

@n0riskn0r3ward @sbkaufman Possibly self-actualization AND achievement could be more practical.

I do see where there could be overlap between the problem-solving aspect of math and exploration within self-actualization - the need to seek out and make sense of challenging information.

"The emphasis on the process of learning as opposed to the behavioral outcomes distinguishes experiential learning from the idealist approaches of traditional education and from the behavioral theories of learning created by Watson, Hull, Skinner, and others." (Kolb, 1984)
