There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Watching the news out of the USA, I keep asking myself "what's the red line?"

The phrase "high expectations" has come to be a point of sadness.
It is meant to refer to the teachers' belief that a student can always learn and grow to a high standard, and then support that growth.
It has come to mean teachers making exacting demands of students and blaming them for failure.

If you were organising a party to celebrate something that involved a large group of people, and one subset of that group said the date you had chosen didn't work for them, would you change the date, or rail against those people, telling them they don't really deserve a party anyway?

People sometimes seem incredulous when I say I studied educational psychology. It's a weird response.
I tell such people that it's the one of a shrinking number of fields in which it's still generally acceptable to experiment on children, and the closest I could get to being a mad scientist.

On this date in 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the imperial forces of Japan. The loss of life and destruction was horrific, and it pulled the U.S. into the war.
For Japanese Americans, it was a terrifying time. Overnight, we became the “enemy within” because we were of Japanese descent. /1

Seems I conflated the defeat of the misinformation bill with the social media ban.
Let's see which paymasters the LNP ultimately side with - Murdoch or Big Tech

Australia's segregated schooling system harms the learning of students theconversation.com/the-type-of-...
The type of school does matter when it comes to a child’s academic performance
The way Australia’s school system is structured is especially unfair on students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

If the Australian government block social media for kids, will I get a refund for all the kids movies and tv shows I've bought for my kids to watch on YouTube that they'll technically not be able to watch?
