I feel like there was some part of the article where she mentioned the standardized test scores, but maybe I'm misremembering? Nonetheless, those typically don't begin until 3rd grade for what it's wroth.

I actually never knew that there was an "out" for the Confederacy to avoid ending slavery. Likely they'd never take it, and that was prob Lincoln's perception so as to build public support for the proc, and it was a war measure first and foremost, but it's nonetheless an interesting detail.

OTD in 1862, five days after US victory at Antietam, President Lincoln issued Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation giving Confederate states until 1/1/1863 to end rebellion or face permanent emancipation of enslaved people. Applied to states in open rebellion (so NOT border states).

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.”

Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy.

That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done.

If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

This will make it nearly impossible to file habeas petitions, because attorneys won’t even know what federal district their client has been moved to to stage for their removal.

Something like a third of all people in ICE custody.

My coauthor Barrett Tylor, who is not on here, was interviewed by The New Yorker about the partisan takeover of Texas Tech and our "postliberal university" concept is used to explain what's going on in US higher education!
www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

During Donald rump's second term, state legislatures across the country hav deemed "woke ideology." More than half of American college students, in twenty- three states, are currently attending a school that has been forced to ban certain topics from the classroom, eliminate academic departments, or drastically weaken tenure protections for professors. Barrett Taylor, a scholar of higher education at the University of North Texas, described such measures as the first phase of a wider
movement to establish what he calls the "post-liberal university." The second phase involves installing political appointees to run universities. In 2022, only three per cent of college presidents came from the public sector. But in Florida a quarter of state schools are now led by former Republican politicians, and many other states, including Ohio, Virginia, and Texas, have increasingly turned to conservative lawmakers to run public colleges and universities in the past two years. As a former trustee at a Florida public college put it, "We are now over the walls and ready to
transform higher education from within."
