It would be nice if all those worried about the politicization of science said something when these shenanigans were underway.
We asked MI staff to share their favorite @CityJournal reads this week. Today, City Journal editor @BrianAcity weighs in with his top three picks!
Zohran Mamdani is a prison abolitionist. If he's elected, he would have the opportunity to oversee the release of 7,000+ New York City inmates. And to achieve that dream, all he has to do is ... absolutely nothing. My latest @PirateWires
Four quick thoughts on Columbia U.’s deal with the federal government: 1: When higher ed institutions take public money, they promise to honor the law. Columbia didn’t. Hell, the evidence shows it didn’t even try. Consequences were in order. The result here is not unreasonable.…

Got my @CityJournal magazine in the mail! Will share more into my investigation of PBIS in a few weeks: “In debates over weak school discipline, PBIS escapes scrutiny, overshadowed by its more politically-charged cousin, restorative justice. But PBIS is no less problematic…”

From 2015–24, New York City invested an estimated $97 million in a new disciplinary policy. Schools replaced traditional methods—detention, suspensions, removals—with a policy called Restorative Justice. NYC’s new model spread across districts nationwide. But did it work?

BREAKING: Columbia has reached an agreement with the federal government. The key provisions include an independent “resolution monitor” who will have access to Columbia data and documents, make regular reports, and have the power to “make recommendations to the Parties regarding…
🧵 A Massachusetts school secretly “transitioned” an 11-year-old girl against her parents’ clear instructions. Last week, @ADFLegal and @cprc_official asked the Supreme Court to hear their case. It’s an important one for several reasons. 1/
