The agencies would also be asked to partner w the #privatesector [surprise] to develop relevant programs in #schools

Excellent article covering many areas, here is one excerpt:
"The irony is that even as #Trump and #Poilievre lament the disappearance of the middle class, they aim to put the very last nails in its coffin by eliminating public sector bargaining, defunding public #education and #health care, cutting #social services, undermining secure #employment and #pensions, and leaving #housing strategies to be dictated by developers and the market.

The Supreme Court is discussing children's books today. A multifaith group of Maryland parents is suing on the grounds that their First Amendment right to freely exercise religion is being violated because they cannot opt their children out of instruction using storybooks with LGBTQ+-inclusive themes. Multiple religious groups oppose the lawsuit, saying allowing opt-outs would undermine schools' ability to foster tolerance, and divide kids along religious lines. @19thnews breaks down the arguments.

In 1775, hundreds of enslaved men in Virginia fled their plantations and joined the British in exchange for a single promise: freedom. They formed the Ethiopian Regiment—the first Black fighting force of the American Revolution. This is the story of how they marched under a banner that read Liberty to Slaves, and what became of them in a single, searing year.

So read, people, read, read, read. Make space in the school day for reading and encourage it at home. But for God's sake and your own, don't make it a chore. Put those reading logs through the shredder. Like learning for the sake of learning, read for the sheer pleasure of it. There is much more to be gained from the process. #Reading #Education #Literature #PopeFrancis
