At first glance, the request from parents who don’t want their children to take part in discussions of LGBTQ+-themed picture books in the classroom might not seem so objectionable. Six parents complained that the content of books like “ Pride Puppy ,” an alphabet book that follows a family as they temporarily lose their dog in a Pride Day celebration, are inappropriate for younger students.

The Process of Revolutionary Protest: Development and Democracy in the Tunisian Revolution By Christopher Barrie , New York University Revolutionary protest rarely begins as democratic or revolutionary. Instead, it grows in a process of positive feedback, incorporating new constituencies and generating new demands. If protest is not revolutionary at its onset, theory should reflect this and be able to explain the endogenous emergence of democratic demands.

Kids aren’t as sneaky as they think they are. They do try, as Holly Distefano has seen in her middle school English language arts classes. When she poses a question to her seventh graders over her school’s learning platform and watches the live responses roll in, there are times when too many are suspiciously similar. That’s when she knows students are using an artificial intelligence tool to write an answer.

Young people face immense challenges — racism, war, gun violence, climate crisis, voter suppression, and more. However, across the country, legislatures, the president, and corporate power are pushing laws and policies to criminalize teaching honestly about U.S. history and to restrict students’ ability to ask questions and engage in critical thinking.

Year-Long Preparation For Texas teachers, preparing students for the U.S. History STAAR exam means more than covering content—it means teaching students to analyze, evaluate, and apply their knowledge in rigorous, STAAR-formatted tasks. That is why I combined forces with lead4ward to create socialstudies+. When used with fidelity, socialstudies+ offers a powerhouse combination of instructional support, content mastery, and STAAR readiness.

Can LLMs accurately adjust their confidence when facing opposition? Building on previous studies measuring calibration on static fact-based question-answering tasks, we evaluate Large Language Models (LLMs) in a dynamic, adversarial debate setting, uniquely combining two realistic factors: (a) a multi-turn format requiring models to update beliefs as new information emerges, and (b) a zero-sum structure to control for task-related uncertainty, since mutual high-confidence claims imply systematic

When I post about lifting the ban on supersonic flight , smart commenters show up with charts: optimal fuel burn is at Mach 0.78–0.84, they say, or no one wants to pay thousands to save a few hours. Maybe. But my reply is always the same: Bottled water! In 2024, Americans spent $47 billion a year on H₂O that they could get for nearly free. That still boggles my mind—but bottled water has passed the market test.
