Louisville schools provide career classes ‘for all,’ even students heading to college • Kentucky Lantern
Schools are pushing career ed classes "for all," even kids heading to college. Backers say the model engages students, but others worry it comes at a cost.

As someone who knows her, Rumesya is an educator. A brilliant one, who only wants to improve children's lives. Her only "crime" seems to be that she co-authored an op-ed in her college newspaper.
NEW—DHS claims, without citing proof, Rumeysa Ozturk "engaged in activities in support of Hamas."
Among "activity" Ozturk engaged in was co-writing an op-ed urging Tufts to heed student resolutions to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

My friend Rumesya Ozturk was detained by ICE yesterday evening on her way to iftaar. This footage is horrifying. Rumesya is one of the kindest, sweetest people you'll ever meet. She is an educator, one who has always been passionate about helping children.
A video shared with GBH News shows Ozturk walking as several people in plain clothes with their faces covered walk nearby. A man in a hoodie approaches her, then grabs her wrists. Ozturk screams, then asks “Can I call the police?” before being told “We’re the police.”

I've been tracking a quiet wave of child care deregulation efforts for over a year. My new story looks at the consequences of these efforts for underpaid, overworked early educators and America's youngest children at their most pivotal time of brain development:

Some states have dangerous plans to address the scarcity of child care: removing regulations
While some states are investing more in child care, others are loosening child care regulations to cut costs and add spots — in ways that could stress underpaid educators and harm young children.
