Earlier this year @SFUnified public schools (deficit: $114M) tried to sneak in a "grading for equity" policy that made 41% a passing grade. I requested the public records around the policy. Dep. Supe. Karling Aguilera-Fort (salary: $385k) had approved a $182k consulting gig to…
San Francisco schools is trying its absolute hardest to make sure all middle income families who could move out of the city do so right away “Grading for Equity” is going to be a real disaster and I guess this is a boon for SF private schools and Burlingame housing prices
Is anyone surprised by this?
🚨 Fire victims lost everything, but not a single dollar from the $100 MILLION raised ever reached them. California Democrats funneled it to nonprofits instead. This is what corruption looks like. Thank you @FOXLA, @MarlaTellez, and Sue Pascoe for exposing it.
It’s only natural for parents seeing these numbers to ask: are colleges prioritizing foreign students over American applicants, or are K-12 schools failing to prepare American students to compete?
The number of international students enrolled at US colleges and universities has surged in recent decades and reached an all-time high in the 2023-24 school year. | @jameslynch32 trib.al/XRGwOWt
These guys coming to his defense like a bunch of middle school girls is so pathetic. He's had one of the most extraordinarily successful runs of any entertainer. Shows get cancelled all the time. Beloved shows. Shows that weren't given a chance to grow or were put in the wrong…
I wonder if they’ll put up the $40M it’ll take to keep his lame joke ass on the air? nypost.com/2025/07/22/med…

Can we honor the legacy of Malcolm-Jamal Warner by agreeing that the Cosby Show should still be watched (and contains desperately needed messages and lessons) regardless of all the awful things Bill Cosby has done?
Had this been the response when it started, it never would have gone as far as it did.
Columbia University has suspended for 1-3 years or expelled more than 70 students for their roles in the disruptive Butler Library protest during finals. Good. They deserve it. A spokesperson said, “Our institution must focus on delivering on its academic mission for our…
The Oregon Department of Education now finds itself in the unenviable position of being investigated by @EDSecMcMahon and the @usedgov 👊
✅Just in from the @usedgov. Thank you, @EDSecMcMahon for opening an investigation of the Oregon Department of Education. Its policy of allowing males who identify as girls to compete in girls sports is a clear violation of Title IX and it MUST END!
"Guide on the side" teaching may work for the best students -- they already understand the fundamentals -- but it fails those who need help the most. tinyurl.com/4nhj3v9n @MichaelPetrilli @rpondiscio @Doug_Lemov @esanzi @VodkaPundit @rastokke
98.4% of people criticizing U.S. Department of Education cuts don't even know what the agency does. (None of this -- even if you squint -- falls under the purview of the DOE, which has no input into school curriculum, which is controlled by the states) (h/t @DeAngelisCorey )
L.A. Children’s has shut down its youth gender clinic under federal pressure. They treated kids as young as THREE YEARS OLD. They performed over 160 surgeries on minors. Clinic director Johanna Olson-Kennedy is being sued for prescribing puberty blockers after one visit— and…
ICYMI: Washington state runs a federally funded program recommending curriculum on gender ideology—including sex-change interventions and a “gender inclusive” toolkit that suggests the use of terms like “pregnant person” because “not all pregnant people are women.” “This…
The story refers to the murderer as a "woman," uses feminine pronouns throughout, and includes no photos. There were, however, a few clues that the murderer was actually a man, like the fact that no woman has ever purchased a samurai sword.

He pulled her down, she said, grabbed her by the hair, and shook and headbutted her. He screamed, “I’m going to (expletive) kill you! I’m going to beat you!” “I don’t blame him,” Van Horssen added. Umm. Perhaps that’s part of the problem. chalkbeat.org/colorado/2025/…
Riddle me this: Can a historic "women's" institution, like Smith College admit men who identify as women, but refuse to admit women who identify as men, without discriminating on the basis of sex? We think not. And we've asked the feds to investigate:
Megyn Kelly: “Can a man become a woman?” Rahm Emanuel: “No.” @megynkelly: “That’s so easy! Why don’t more people in your party just say that?” @RahmEmanuel: “Because I’m now going to go into a witness protection plan.”
Thank you @jameslynch32 at @NRO for writing such an excellent piece about our @DefendingEd report on foreign students in American higher education—the increase over time, the top sending countries, the schools with highest %, the disproportionate # in graduate programs & STEM. 🧵
