Great communication tool for talking about AI with students
For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

The GOP's education playbook.
Step 1: Make public schooling as shitty and stressful as possible for kids and parents and teachers.
Step 2: Sell private schooling as the antidote to the stress and shittiness.
Step 3: Funnel public education money into private hands.

This agreement will do irreparable harm to youth in Rhode Island. Shame on the cowards who caved to the fascists. I live in Providence and I will call you out. It’s a small state and I see you.
Just read the Brown University agreement and this really jumped out.
"The University will not perform gender reassignment surgery or prescribe puberty blockers or hormones to any minor child for the purpose of aligning the child's appearance with an identity that differs from his or her sex."
