Still got a reading list to look at. Here come this week's nifty reads.

Jan Resseger on the administration's continued whacking away at K12 civil rights.
Andrea Tinker in the Alabama Reflector with this interesting little nugget. The state went to identify time-wasting paperwork, and the results aren't surprising, but it's still something that the state was even trying to find out.

John warner at Inside Higher Ed. "We should stop declaring we know the future and give students the space to figure things out for themselves."
This story ran way back in February, but I didn't see it until it turned up on somebody's "swell stories from this year lists" and it's definitely worth a share.
