"We find that immigrant youth who acquired citizenship at birth are substantially less likely to engage in criminal activity, with estimates indicating a 70% reduction in crime." www.nber.org/papers/w3507...
A study of around 44,000 papers finds that the credibility revolution has spread unevenly beyond applied micro, driven mainly by difference-in-differences, with finance and macro lagging by roughly 15 years, from Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham www.nber.org/papers/w35051
I would love to see this broken down by sexual orientation, because dinosaurs are definitely millennial queer culture. I present as evidence: I asked my wife and got a ten minute Ted Talk, and my answer is Struthiomimus, so we're both fun at parties. But maybe actually fun at queer parties.
If any other intervention produced outcomes of this size - GPA improvements of .24SD & reductions in course failure of .14SD - districts would be desperate to implement it.
Instead, because ethnic studies has been labeled as "woke," efforts to scale have slowed.
Alabama passed a law in 2011 that among many things required verification of family immigration status to attend public school. Attendance plummeted, dropouts increased, schools faced (additional) financial shortfalls, and it all got functionally repealed a year later. But sure, do it nationwide.
"White evangelical Protestants (63%) and white Catholics (55%), as well as Christian nationalism Adherents (75%) and Sympathizers (62%), are the only religious groups in which a majority supports detaining immigrants in internment camps."

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
Berea's Pell share is so much higher than other highly selective institutions that I had to make this chart wider.
Corey DeAngelis says, "Low-income families benefit from school choice more than anybody else. This is a big deal for families who couldn’t afford private school before."
That's a bald-faced lie based on every state's voucher data, not a "reasonable researchers disagree" issue.
When we focus on the "brilliance" of unaccountable perpetrators, we are forgoing the brilliance of the young people deterred from their fields

What a phenomenally concise turn of phrase to describe this era.
I have been struck in my very anecdotal experience tutoring students across multiple districts how often students are on a laptop in every class, all day. And how often they don't have a textbook, just slides to learn content from. 🤦🏼
I'm sorry what?
Heard NPR cover this last night and they said "slight increase in suspensions but test scores improved" with no mention of the disproportionate suspensions for Black boys. They are paying a much higher cost than other students for this otherwise good news. We can't lose sight of that, or them.
For context, 87% of school-aged kids are enrolled in public schools in the US.*
(* a statistic we only know because of work the US Dept of ED used to do to collect vital data on our nation's schools)
Ending Black History Month & banning books by Ta-Nehisi Coates is a dark echo of the ways the military has been used in the past to advance racial rights in America.
Frederick Douglass understood Black military service could help achieve citizenship. Truman saw integration as democratic necessity.
It's important to add "out" here. These are just the queer youth who are out enough to themselves or others to indicate so on a survey. There are so many more kids uncounted who are affected, so this even understates the danger of these laws.
Education researchers warn budget proposals from the White House and House Republicans would impose steep cuts on some of the nation's most vulnerable students and disadvantaged school communities.
One study concluded 70% of increased electric cost across US due to AI data centers.

Look at what happens to male teacher salaries (blue line) v.s. female teacher salaries (red line) after collective bargaining laws expire.
The 51st has become my go to for local reporting, in case you're wondering where to take your Post subscription...
I worry we are going to look back at the 2020's as the decade we talked way too much about phones in schools + way too little about the % of time students spend staring at a Chromebook screen in classrooms.
I actually think people are going to miss the complicated, challenging and, yes, sometimes exclusionary social graces that make society possible. You really don’t want to get rid of all metaphorical language, scripts, and lies. They grease the wheels of mutual cooperation.
Really handy data tool in this, helps clarify how much variation is happening between districts, even though the overall trend in salaries is bad news.
