Zelenskyy has submitted an updated draft law on the National Anti-Corruption Bureau to the Verkhovna Rada. Its essence is to restore the independence of anti-corruption authorities, which the Ukrainian government took away 2 days ago.

But it is not yet known when the law will be voted on in the Parliament.

My middle school students will sometimes say they speak "American" when they really mean English. We then discuss the difference between language and nationality, as well as the difference between nationality and ethnicity. Distinctions that matter.

[Poynter @Poynter]

Opinion: When former President Donald Trump misuses the terms ‘ethnicity’ and ‘nationality’ – a linguistic error subtly reinforced by stories that don’t note the distinction – he expresses a common microaggression, deciding who is and is not American. https://t.co/fGI1sXn7kR

Many shows "model antisocial behaviors during the first three-quarters of the episode before finally modeling prosocial behaviors at the end. This may inadvertently teach the wrong message, because children tend to focus on the behaviors modeled for the majority of the program."
