  8. What Bari Weiss is doing to CBS in general and 60 Minutes in particular is an unforgivable attack on the freedom of US television news.

    Less serious, but significant nonetheless, is the harm Weiss has wreaked on attempts by some US liberals to question groupthink in some quarters of academia, the media, and the nonprofit sector.

    By her using the pose of a "radical centrist" questioning "woke orthodoxy" to strengthen right wing power in education and the media, she has made honest and productive debate about conformity and freedom of expression even more difficult than it already was.

    I cannot abide her bad faith posturing!

  10. Wave Goodbye to the Last Normal Year for #AmericanSchools

    Thanks to Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill,” the ’26–’27 school year will look wildly different.

    By Adam Laats, June 01, 2026

    "As schools send children home for the summer, we need to recognize a frightening fact: This could be the last year of public schooling the way we’ve known it. Donald Trump’s new school funding scheme, pushed through as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will kick in during the middle of the next school year, in January 2027. It’s going to create a financial tsunami for public schools. The real tragedy is that there’s no mystery to it: We already know what will happen, because the scheme is not really new at all. It brings us back to the bad old days, to the failed and inadequate divided school budgets from before the Civil War. Trump’s plan brings back the devasting problem that our modern public school systems were designed to fix."

  15. American Schools Skirt Philosophy; Australian System Embraces Inquiry

    Australian schools like Buranda State School teach philosophy to all students. US schools rarely offer formal philosophy courses, requiring extra effort from teachers.
