I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Proponents say the shortened week can lead to cost savings and make it easier to recruit teachers. But for some communities, concerns about childcare remain a barrier.
