This Supreme Court ruling requires public schools to allow parents to opt their children out of lessons that don't align with their families' religious beliefs.
This will harm teachers' ability to foster inclusive, welcoming educational experiences reflective of the diverse communities they serve.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.
