California’s Latest CAASPP Test Scores Reveal a Continuing Education Crisis
Topic: Children and Family
Source: California Policy Center
Last week, the California Department of Education released CAASPP (state standardized test) results for the 2025-26 school year. While Governor Newsom says the scores are evidence of “continued progress,” the numbers tell a different story. In a continuation of California’s chronically poor academic performance, just under half (49.3 percent) of California public school students scored at or above proficient in English language arts (reading, writing and comprehension). And in keeping with the historical trend, math proficiency continues to lag further behind, with just 38.6 percent of students scoring at or above proficient. A mere 36 percent of students scored at or above proficient for science.

Can't Find a Job The Wall Street Journal profiles 30-year-old chemical engineer Jack Weis. Princeton PhD in hand, 2,300 applications out the door, and still no offer: that's the reality for 30-year-old chemical engineer Jack Weis, the focus of a Wall Street Journal piece by Lindsay Ellis. Weis, whose ice-formation research was cited by the Nobel committee in 2024, has spent two years firing off résumés to big-name labs, pharma companies, and software firms—only to be met mostly with silence. A brief, $70-an-hour contract job training AI systems on chemical engineering lasted less than three months. "Eventually, he was getting ghosted for food-preparation jobs, including at a company that sells frozen crab cakes," writes Ellis.

UC Berkeley prof refuses to grade his students’ homework

...after noticing worrying trend: ‘No point’ (AI). A UC Berkeley professor has stopped grading students’ homework for correctness after noticing artificial intelligence tools were helping them rack up top marks. Richard Borcherds, a renowned mathematician who received the prestigious Fields Medal in 1998, said widespread student use of AI has undermined the value of traditional homework grading. “Student use of AI for homework is now widespread,” Borcherds told The California Post. “Grading for correctness just adds a huge incentive for them to use AI for homework instead of doing it themselves, and penalizes students for honesty.”

Yes, really. Bagels are now racist... A Harlem bagel shop that has served its neighborhood for nearly a decade was forced to pull a cartoon mascot from the sidewalk after an influencer declared the smiling, sunglasses-wearing bagel a "blackface bagel." Bo's Bagels on West 116th Street, opened in 2017 by New York native Andrew Martinez and co-owner Ashley Dikos after they could not find decent bagels in the area, displayed a life-sized cardboard cutout that doubled as a chalkboard sign. Designed by Harlem-based artist Tom Sanford, the mascot featured golden grills reading "Harlem World," a large gold ring marked "NYC," and the cheerful expression of a cartoon character.

The U.K.'s Online Safety Act Has Been a Failure.

Regulators Want To Broaden It Anyway. A new report reveals more shortcomings of the U.K.’s Online Safety Act. Who could have predicted that age-gating large sections of the internet in a crusade to shield children's eyeballs from vaguely defined "harmful content" would have disastrous consequences and wouldn't ultimately protect kids? Apparently, the United Kingdom's online regulator, Ofcom, couldn't. On Thursday, Ofcom released a report assessing whether the government should make changes to the content categories of the 2023 Online Safety Act, a set of laws which require companies operating in the U.K. to prevent children from "accessing harmful and age-inappropriate content and provide parents and children with clear and accessible ways to report problems online when they do arise."

Since September of last year, a team of Danish researchers, backed by $1.6 million in funding from RFK Jr.’s CDC, had planned a large-scale hepatitis B vaccine trial in the sub-Saharan African nation of Guinea-Bissau. Per the study design, the control group of 7,000 infants would skip the at-birth hepatitis B vaccine dose and receive it later on at six weeks, whereas the experimental group of 7,000 infants would receive the shot immediately at birth, the objective being to assess potential adverse health impacts of the hepatitis B shot in day-old infants — a practice which the Public Health™ experts stateside have gone to war to shield from scrutiny

The Centre for Male Psychology's Position Statement on Identifying, Understanding, and Treating Men's Experiences of Depression. Depression in men is under-recognised, under-diagnosed, and often manifests differently in men than in women. Men are less likely than women to seek help, more likely to externalise symptoms (e.g., aggression), and self-medicate (e.g., alcohol abuse). The Centre for Male Psychology is committed to advancing evidence, improving clinical practice, and influencing public discourse on men’s mental health (Centre for Male Psychology, 2021). In this position statement we recommend a male-centred approach to understanding male depression. We hope that this document will bring about a change in how we research, treat, and talk about men’s depression.

It was so tight with the hate groups that it committed bank fraud to fund them, laundered donor money to subsidize recruiters, and one of its key employees was literally living and sleeping with a white supremacist.

MS NOW, Omar, and the Art of the Evasion. “I am trying to figure out the way to do this.” Those words from MS NOW’s Chris Hayes say all you need to know (and likely all you will get) from his interview on Wednesday with Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. There is a litany of questions the liberal host never asked of Omar. Those questions have only increased over the years, leading to the current criminal investigation into immigration fraud. At points, Hayes sounded more like a supplicant than a journalist given his discomfort with asking pressing questions.
