This is what supporters of charter schools and vouchers don't tell you: because those schools aren't required to admit physically or learning disabled students, or ESL students, their "improved test scores" and whatnot are completely juiced—and it defunds the schools where disabled kids DO go.
WATCH: “Instead of giving money to private schools that don’t take kids like me, please help public schools get better and fund them.”

A congressional investigation has found that Amazon manipulated warehouse worker injury data.
Instead of addressing the fact that the corporate giant has twice the serious injury rate of other warehouses, they tried to hide it.

Take it from a union guy: You do not want journalists having to attach and subordinate the integrity of their digital identities to the whims of an employer.
There's a whole lot of conversation still to be had about proving identity, but just want to call out that this option is available right now (and super cool to see!)

The US likes to pretend there's a neat line between education and childcare. Because that line allows us to justify paying for universal public education ("kids need it!") but not universal public childcare ("it's only for selfish or irresponsible moms!"). 1/

A four-day school week? More Minnesota school districts are giving it a look.
Proponents say the shortened week can lead to cost savings and make it easier to recruit teachers. But for some communities, concerns about childcare remain a barrier.
