  1. #Texas can require the #TenCommandments to be displayed in #PublicSchool #classrooms, a #US appeals court ruled Tuesday in a victory for #conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more #religion into schools.
    It sets up a potential clash at #SCOTUS over the issue in the future.
    The ultra conservative #5thCircuit Court of Appeals claimed in the decision that the #law did not violate either the #EstablishmentClause or the #FreeExerciseClause of the #FirstAmendment.

  2. While #Utah requires that #PublicSchool students have 2 doses of the measles, mumps & rubella #vaccine [#MMR], parents can opt out of those requirements for personal, religious or medical reasons. In the 2024-25 school year, about 11% of kindergartners had exemptions or were missing documentation to show they were vaccinated against #measles, up from about 7% before the Covid-19 pandemic. Vaccination rates need to be above about 95% to stem the spread of the #virus.

  3. It turns out that #AI is mimicking the output of #Oxbridge / #PublicSchool alumni: plausible bullshit, assserted with eloquent confidence

  6. The ruling from Judge Orlando L. Garcia, of U.S. District Court for the Western District of #Texas, comes after Gov. #GregAbbott signed in June a #law requiring school districts to display the #TenCommandments in a “conspicuous location” in each classroom. The ruling applies to 14 #PublicSchool districts, including ones in Fort Worth, Arlington & Conroe.

  7. #RyanWalters (in his latest self-aggrandizing missive to all Oklahoman parents & caregivers for #PublicSchool kids): I'm making sure $3million goes to tutoring programs in Oklahoma! My commitment has never been stronger!

    also Ryan: *advocates book bans*

    also Ryan: *oversees Oklahoma's drop to last in #education since he became State Superintendent*

    Ryan, I know logic isn't in your bag of tricks, but MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

  8. „Australien, Valentinstag 1900. Die Schülerinnen eines Mädcheninternats unternehmen zusammen mit ihren Lehrerinnen einen Ausflug zum Hanging Rock. Vier Mädchen klettern entgegen den Ratschlägen ihrer Lehrerin auf den Felsen und erkunden ihn näher. Als eine Schülerin aufgelöst schreiend zurückkehrt, macht sich Lehrerin Miss McCraw auf die Suche nach den drei übrigen Mädchen. Am Ende des Tages ist auch sie verschollen …“ (2/2)

  9. Five Virginia Schools Are Defying Trump Administration’s Trans Bathroom Ban

    This weekend, four additional major school districts in Virginia publicly declared they will not comply with demands from the Trump administration’s Department of Education to ban transgender students from using bathrooms that match their gender. Their statements follow Loudoun County Public Schools’ vote last week to uphold protections for transgender students. Together…

  10. Did a nose count, and more than half of my #elementary #students have #ieps. No worries, we’re #PublicSchool #teachers, we can fucking do anything. A new student arrived today with high IEP minutes- he’d tried a #charterschool and had such rough start they moved to our school after 3 days. Charters simply don’t work for the huge majority of non-affluent, non-cis, neurodiverse, and/or disabled students, and public funding should never suggest otherwise. /soapbox

  16. …Casey was the most important case of the 1991-92 term, but there were other impressive Souter successes. He, Kennedy & O'Connor also came together, again joined by Blackmun & Stevens, in a crucial #EstablishmentClause case, Lee v. Weisman, where they struck down the recital of #religious prayers at #PublicSchool graduation ceremonies.

  18. "The Impact of a Boston Desegregation Busing Program on Student Outcomes"

    "The Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) program in Boston is a voluntary program for urban students and suburban school districts, that busses non-White students from Boston to wealthier, Whiter suburbs.

    "Elizabeth Setren examines how participation in the METCO program affected students over the period 1991 through 2020.

    "METCO students attend schools where a much higher percentage of the students plan to go to a four-year college than in the Boston public school system..

    "Boston students who are bused to suburban school districts through the METCO school desegregation program have stronger academic and labor market outcomes than similar students who apply to be bussed but are not selected..

    "At age 35, on average, students who were selected to participate in the METCO program make $16,250 more than those who applied to the program but were not selected from the waitlist."

  19. These #regressive, misguided parents ARE free to opt their children out of the curriculum by enrolling them in a private #religiousSchool that better fits their worldview. They are NOT free to alter the #publicschool curriculum, or pick and choose which parts of the curriculum their children will learn, like an a la carte menu. This is another example of entitled, religious parents demanding that public schools accommodate their religious beliefs. No.

  20. CW: Bunch of personal stuff, some kind of whiny

    Sometimes I think of how many physical/mental strikes I had against me from birth. This shrimpy* kid with a progressive hearing loss, twisted-up legs, deeply fucked #executiveFunction, who almost died right away from mastitis, who was spanked or whipped almost every day of his life from age 2-12, whose mom probably had a #personalityDisorder and ran an authoritarian dictatorship household (6 kids), whose dad was rarely around and honestly didn't seem all that involved or interested when he was; the kid who went to boarding school (for the #deaf) at age 13 and never felt 100% like part of the family after that...

    Sometimes I feel sorry for myself. Other times I feel like Fuck Yeah I'm Still Here (and somehow gainfully employed and have an absofuckinglutely amazing kid).

    And I remember that I was also that shrimpy* kid who couldn't stop #reading; who was obsessed with finding out what was true and right; who loved visual, musical, and dramatic #art almost more than life; who played with #words and ideas instead of balls and teammates, who had a mother willing to slap you in the face for disrespect but also willing to fight half a dozen school districts to get her kids into the best classes or #PublicSchool available, whose father didn't seem to like him all that much, but did love him and worked himself almost to death, giving up the career he was passionate about to feed his family.

    The mix of #selfPity and gratitude swings wide, sometimes. This morning it's #gratitude.

    *No longer shrimpy, starting at about age 25; in fact, kind of chunky since then.

    This "private, #conservative, #Christian college" in #Michigan conned the Governors of #Tennessee and #Florida into sending their state's tax dollars out-of-state for #PublicSchool curricula!

  26. The proposed school, St. Isidore of Seville #Catholic Virtual School, was pitched as an online #CatholicSchool for students in rural areas & throughout the state of #Oklahoma, w/ #religious instruction woven throughout the #curriculum.

    But instead of operating as a #PrivateSchool w/ #families paying tuition, St.Isidore applied for status as a #CharterSchool, a type of #PublicSchool that is financed by #taxpayer dollars, but run independently.
