So anyway, this afternoon the CMO will sing with a community chorus an assortment of Christmas tunes and it will be lovely. December is an especially busy time for musicians. Please remember to show some appreciation to whatever musicians are lighting up your community.
Now for this week's list.
At The Progressive, Jeff Bryant points out that the community school movement is showing some real gains, even as the regime is not interested in supporting them.
Jill Barshay at Hechinger Report takes us through the timeline of the regime's assault on actual education data and how that is taking us into a world in which we'll be flying blind when it comes to knowing what is really going on in schools.
Philadelphia Inquirer has the story of Brunson's new field trip fund for Philly schools. Well done.
In 2019, just 1% of educators were Latino. The school district actually did something about it.
Parental rights are only for certain parents; that's always been a feature of the movement. Kelly Jensen at Bookriot shows how that plays out in one particular district.
Youth For Christ is yet another group that believes the door is wide open for them to start recruiting in schools. Nancy Flanagan takes a look.
Several pieces have been written about this slice of baloney, but if you'd like one more look, here's a perspective from Steve Nuzum.
Jan Resseger looks into Bruce Lesley's dynamite piece about abandoning children.
Gary Rubinstein offers his review of Diane Ravitch's newest book. Do you have your copy yet? Get on it.

Happy birthday, Special Ed! Let's hope you've got a few more years left. Cory Turner looks at the occasion for NPR.
Cameron Dick's article will tell you nothing that you already know. But this piece was published at Zen Parent, and if you are looking for something to share with someone who is new to the issue, this is a fine choice.
Charles Russo and Lydia Artz provide an overview of the current cases stacked up against posting the Ten Commandments in public schools. At the Conversation.
The Washington Post ran an interview with Yass, but I don't have a WaPo subscription any more. However, the Philadelphia Inquirer ran a piece about the WaPo piece, and it captures many of the features of this rotten billionaire.
Paul Krugman talks to Kedrosky and comes up with a pretty good explanation of AI stuff and why they are writing for a 37 year old guy on Reddit.
If you want a really depressingly apocalyptic view of AI at the college level, Ronald Purser at Current Affairs has got you covered.
This Atlantic piece by Lila Shroff is worth it just for the coinage "LLeMmings." I love a good made word.
From Wired, a reminder that sometimes AI isn't AI at all-- just a bunch of humans hiding behind a screen.
Ted Gioia connects Pluribus, fear, and the trouble with AI.
What happens when a school (or, say, any organization) discovers that it's not really as exceptional as it likes to think it is? Full disclosure-- this is by Ben Jones, my nephew.
This week at Forbes.com, I took a look at two new challenges to the wall between church and state, part of the quest to feed even more tax dollars to private religious schools.
