You'd think after Leelah Alcorn's murder by her parents that some action would happen.

If you live in one of these 10 states (AZ, TX AR, MS, FL, GA, TN, KY, IN, OH), today is THE LAST DAY you can register to vote. Even if you think you're registered already, double check to see if your registration is still active. Please do this, it only takes a few minutes. Pass it on.

So you recall this Atlantic article about how college kids today don’t read good. Well it turns out the high school teacher interviewed for the piece has a bone to pick. cmsthomas.substack.com/p/the-atlant...

THE ELITE COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO CAN'T READ BOOKS To read a book in college, it helps to have read a book in high school. By Rose Horowitch
From a similarly stodgy perspective, Horowitch's article reflects a frighteningly narrow definition of what constitutes worthwhile literature. Passing references to Moby Dick, Crime and Punishment, and even my unit about The Odyssey, confine literary merit to a very small, very old, very white, and very male box. As a staunch advocate for diverse and representative literature, I was immediately curious about the actual texts at the center of this "crisis" so I asked Horowitch directly what types of books were the sticking points in her professor friends' curricula. Unsurprisingly, it was canonical classics. As Horowitch points
was canonical classics. As Horowitch points out, I am just "one public-high school teacher in Illinois," but while professors at elite universities sound the alarm over Gen Z undergrads not finishing Les Miserables because they are uninterested in reading a pompous French man drone on for chapters about the Paris sewer system, my colleagues and I have developed professional toolboxes with endless other ways to inspire our students to read about justice, compassion, and redemption.
Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone, Ibi Zoboi's American Street, and David Bowles's The Prince and the Coyote, are all complex, challenging, and substantial texts that speak to the interests and experiences of my students, so it's not a fight to get them reading. Frustratingly, despite the numerous examples I provided of students reading books cover-to-cover in my class, Horowitch opted to include only the unit that, like the original rhapsodes of the bronze age, I excerpt and abridge. Equally frustrating is that her article implies that I was forced into that decision in order to pacify floundering students or submit to the demands of standardized testing.

Earlier this year, the Amazon Delivery Drivers Union Yokosuka Branch’s lawyers filed suit against Amazon. It's asking courts to deem that the company owes its sole proprietor delivery drivers overtime, since they work under the explicit direction of Amazon. https://buff.ly/4gr1ui3
