Minnesota's charter school sector keeps pushing to legalize racial segregation. Yesterday, a bunch of charter schools asked the state Supreme Court to file a brief arguing that single-race schools do not violate the state constitution and are simply another form of school choice.

If you have strong views on this, and I suspect you do, please read this rundown of what experts across the spectrum think the mayor should have done. It's worth getting a little wonky about this subject nytimes.com/2021/09/09/nyreg…

There's so much more to read about gifted + talented in NYC! I'd start here, because BdB for years ignored this recommendation from a task force he himself created and then...announced a very similar plan today!

What are the pitfalls?
City is planning accelerated education for all - ID'ing kids who excel at one subject and accommodating them within their normal classrooms or schools instead of separating them. That's a lofty goal, but REALLY hard to pull off. Some experts are skeptical

BREAKING: NYC to eliminate gifted + talented classes over the next 5 yrs, major change and likely BdB's last big decision as mayor. Kids now enrolled in gifted programs will stay in them, but there will be no more separate gifted classes for incoming kids

There are huge racial disparities in vaccination, and we need new solutions to fight "hesitancy." To get there, we have to stop thinking that people are primary driven by their mistrustful emotions. Sure, mistrust plays an important role, but it's not the whole story. Thread.
