I really like this study of the reasons college students move from one STEM major to another, particularly its focus on both the attractive aspects of the new major AND their disenchantments with their old major. Both parts are important. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

By a 2–1 vote, the 11th Circuit holds that trans teachers in Florida have NO First Amendment right to use their preferred pronouns at school.

I’m starting to wonder if conservative judges are applying the First Amendment fairly to our public school system … media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
