🎵 Have I told you lately about resegregation 🎵
Almost 20% of US public schools are more than 90% non-white.
"As the U.S. marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling on Friday, American public schools are growing more separate and unequal even though the country is more racially and ethnically diverse than ever."
"The resegregation of America's public schools coincides with the rise of charter schools and school choice option," (almost as if this was the intent of charter schools, vouchers and private Christian schools.

Faith schools in England will no longer have to offer up to half of their places to children who don’t belong to their religion, under changes to state school admissions rules sneakily announced by the government, after serious lobbying by the Catholic Church.
I propose, therefore, that the 100% funding they get from the state is also scrapped. I don't object to faith schools. I do object to them being funded by the state.

England scraps 50% rule on faith school admissions
Allowing 100% faith-based access would be divisive and likely penalise disadvantaged children, say campaignersRichard Adams (The Guardian)
Fear is widespread on American campuses, researcher says
Students are “observing acts of physical violence and intimidation right in front of them. Jewish students are seeing Jewish buildings attacked. Muslim students are seeing people ... counterattack against Muslims. The students that are not Jewish and not Muslim, they’re just seeing everybody getting ... attacked.”

Today (23 April) England will be celebrating St. Georges Day.
A rather dubious character in history. I'm more a follower of St Edmund a King of East Anglia known as Edmund the Martyr - at least he was English - Unlike George.
The true celebration on the 23 April should be William Shakespeare who enriched the nation.
He was born on 23 April 1564 and died on 23 April 1616 - yes, his Birthday!

Federal politicians will not, and *cannot* fix “the biggest problem with #TikTok “ (that it is a primary source of ‘#news ‘ for millions of #Americans ).
That’s because the ‘problem’ is lack of #CriticalThinking skills. So only fixing our failing #Education system can do that!
State politicians need to support, instead of degrade #PublicEducation. And #HigherEducation ‘leaders’ need to make #teacher preparation programs more competitive and of higher quality.
A bill in Louisiana, HB 777, would make it a crime for librarians to use public funds to join the American Librarian Association or attend an ALA conference, punishable with prison time and hard labor for up to two years.

This year, there will be a nova, before or by September, as bright as the North Star.
After peak brightness it will remain bright enough, for several days, to observe with binoculars.
You can help research scientists with observational details.
