UT students and faculty overwhelmingly expressed concerns over the violence against peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors, the climate of fear on campus with the takedown of DEI centers and offices, SB 17 over-compliance, and violations of students’ First Amendment right to free speech.

Faculty and students are experiencing profound disruption and distress, which starkly contrasts with the arrogant posture and detached demeanor of those perpetrating this harm.

#GladiatorII. Go see it. It does a great job of weaving storylines from the original film. And while it is a sequel, it is a stand-alone film. It's not as good as the first but is very entertaining. We were entertained!

#Wicked was amazing. Go see it. Acting, singing, storyline, set design, costumes, etc...all fantastic. They kept very close to the Broadway play. And the culminating moments to "Defying Gravity" was worth the wait.

Remember, they didn't cut Matt Gaetz loose because he paid a 17-year-old for sex.

They cut him loose because too much evidence was coming out proving he'd paid a 17-year-old for sex.

Conservatives have wanted to get rid of the U.S. Department of Education for a long time, and it hasn't happened yet. I think it's more important to look at what the department does and how the federal role might change. www.chalkbeat.org/2024/08/24/i...
What it would mean to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education
Calls to abolish the U.S. Department of Education have been around nearly as long as the department itself. Now the 2024 campaign is breathing new life into an old idea.
