  1. Smart Phone Bans in schools failed to positively impact academic outcomes based on research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

    Strict phone bans resulted in a meaningful decline in student cellphone us - duh! But test scores have not increased on average, and at first, banning phones led to higher suspension rates.

    The research included more than 40,000 schools between 2019 and 2026. Over time, students in schools with strict bans reported a greater sense of personal well-being, however, the bans did not improve student attendance or perceptions of online bullying. nytimes.com/2026/05/04/us/did- #SmartPhones #PhoneBans #Mobility #Students #Academics #CellPhone #Disicpline #Suspensions #OnlineBullying #SocialMedia

  5. Trump’s campaign of retribution: At least 470 targets and counting – Reuters

    A REUTERS SPECIAL REPORT

    Trump’s campaign of retribution:
    At least 470 targets and counting

    Reuters documented at least 470 targets of retribution under Trump’s leadership – from federal employees and prosecutors to universities and media outlets. The list illuminates the sweeping effort by the president and his administration to punish dissent and reshape the government.

    By PETER EISLER, NED PARKER, LINDA SO and JOSEPH TANFANI

    Another 224 people were caught up in broader retribution efforts – not named individually but ensnared in crackdowns on groups of perceived opponents. Nearly 100 of them were prosecutors and FBI agents fired or forced to retire for working on cases tied to Trump or his allies, or because they were deemed “woke.” This includes 16 FBI agents who kneeled at a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020. The rest were civil servants, most of them suspended for publicly opposing administration policies or resisting directives on health, environmental and science issues.

    The retribution took three distinct forms.

    Most common were punitive acts, such as firings, suspensions, investigations and the revocation of security clearances.

    Reuters found at least 462 such cases, including the dismissal of at least 128 federal workers and officials who had probed, challenged or otherwise bucked Trump or his administration.

    The second form was threats. Trump and his administration targeted at least 46 individuals, businesses and other entities with threats of investigations or penalties, including freezing federal funds for Democratic-led cities such as New York and Chicago.

    Trump openly discussed firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for resisting interest rate cuts, for instance. Last week, he threatened to have six Democratic members of Congress tried for sedition – a crime he said is “punishable by DEATH” – after the lawmakers reminded military personnel they can refuse “illegal orders.” This week, the Defense Department threatened to court-martial one of them, U.S. Senator Mark Kelly, a former Naval officer.

    The third form was coercion. In at least a dozen cases, organizations such as law firms and universities signed agreements with the government to roll back diversity initiatives or other policies after facing administration threats of punishment, such as security clearance revocations and loss of federal funding and contracts.

    It’s a campaign led from the top: Trump’s White House has issued at least 36 orders, decrees and directives, targeting at least 100 individuals and entities with punitive actions, according to the Reuters analysis.

    Trump openly campaigned on a platform of revenge in his latest run for the presidency, promising to punish enemies of his Make America Great Again movement. “For those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution,” he said in a March 2023 speech. Weeks later, while campaigning in Texas, he repeated the theme. “I am your justice,” he said.

    Today, the White House disputes the idea that the administration is out for revenge. It describes recent investigations and indictments of political adversaries as valid course corrections on policy, necessary probes of wrongdoing and legitimate policy initiatives.

    About 1,000 #US students have been arrested in the #ProPalestine protests. #Columbia has started #suspensions.

    This is crazy. Peaceful and legal protests are possible, as #NorthwesternUniversity's example shows.

  12. Maybe it’s time to leave #Twitter.

    “Twitter abruptly #suspends more than half a dozen #journalists

    “No reason for the #suspensions was given, though many had written had written or tweeted about the dramas surrounding billionaire #Elon #Musk’s takeover of the social media platform.”
