Plato is one of the most famous ancient philosophers of all time. He also thought there were more than 2 genders & homosexuality was normal — that's why Texas A&M wants to censor him.
"How can a serious research university, an R1 university, censor Plato in a philosophy class?"

This is yet another case of government funneling money into corporations instead of people. And it costs more and produces poorer results. Maybe the solution is to include community-proposed solutions in the RFI/RFP process. Otherwise it’s just incs versus incs.

Ed tech is profitable. It is also mostly useless
Independent research identifies few learning gains

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line.
I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Often experience? NO child whose parents, relatives, neighbors, etc are arrested, detained, deported or kidnapped emerges unscathed. And their friends, family, children and grandchildren don’t emerge unscathed. The effects and ripple effects are unimaginable.
🚨 'Children whose immigrant parents are arrested, detained or deported often experience emotional and behavioral problems, including separation anxiety, school absenteeism, hyperactivity and other behavioral issues.'
