Tilda hit the nail on the head. Accommodations are more work for people that are already overworked and underpaid. IMO they are also the right thing to do. Richer people will benefit more from inclusion policies. When your students are rich kids it can feel like that they are gaming the system.
the central issue in all the talk of accommodations in education is that like it or not, they are extra work, and teachers who are committed to making their classrooms more accommodating are signing up for a lot of extra unheralded and uncompensated work, and at the end of the semester that sucks

How often does the thing people have expected for 2 years to happen in 2-3 years actually happened in 2 years
Nothing is absolutely confirmed yet, but there is way too much smoke from everywhere, including College Station.

This is how you do game 1 of the season. Don’t play a team with a pulse. If they don’t have a logo, even better.

I swear to god yall can't read. The whole article talks about the views of Dem commentators, two sitting senators, and the consultants constantly telling the party and voters to moderate and ditch nonwhite people to appeal to whites under the guise of pragmatism or pushing the party to the left.
Claiming this is reflective of the Democratic party is just not true. Janet Mills is right there!

The story is about farm land owners not farm workers. "Farmer" is deliberate obfuscation of to make them more likeable. It would be the same if a story about tech VCs was about "Programmers" or a story about gallery owners framed as "artists are struggling".
It’s too bad only farmers are people and not librarians or artists or healthcare workers or researchers.

Instead, IU football coach got a new contract ($92.8 million) a week after Mark Cuban donated to the football team.
Billionaires are always inserting themselves into situations when it is unneeded or unwanted but when their influence could be useful, they aren’t around. Anyway. Mark Cuban is an IU alum. He could fund that student newspaper in perpetuity with pocket change. Or withhold institutional donations.

Everything that gives your team an edge is good and should be done. Work the refs, throw trash, lie, etc etc
To be clear, it's exactly as legal as throwing all the water bottles in the stadium onto the field to successfully get a call changed.

TS is behaving like YugiOh, Pokémon and MtG now. Just releasing a billion versions of the same thing that are increasingly rare, "exclusive" and expensive. Just sucking the fanbase dry.

I have many thoughts about Charlie Kirk—and perhaps even more about the white elites, including some on the left, who insist we can’t hold multiple realities at once. We can. And we must.
