Comment: Culture wars are robbing kids of good education
Over the last three years, there has been a coordinated and intentional political strategy targeting public schools. Two-thirds of the 467 school superintendents in our national survey reported experiencing moderate to high levels of culturally divisive conflict. We found that the costs incurred by U.S. public schools’ responses to culturally divisive conflict totaled $3.2 billion during the 2023-24 school year alone. The money public schools are spending on these clashes could be better spent elsewhere. John Rogers is a professor of education and associate dean for research and public scholarship in the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies.

Commentary: Sexual violence on college campuses is still a big problem. Here’s a way to fight it
More than a decade ago, it seemed the tide might turn against pervasive campus sexual violence. For the next few years, the issue of campus sexual violence gained attention from the U.S. government. In March 2013, Obama signed into law the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act which, among other provisions, required many universities to offer campus-wide sexual violence prevention programming. Over the last decade, four-year colleges have instituted prevention programs that educate students on consent in relation to sexual violence. Because it is one of the most studied risk factors for experiencing sexual violence in college, institutional prevention programs put a hyper-focus on the connection between alcohol and sexual violence.

Musk joins hands with Trump, US space policy will become "crazy"
After Trump takes office, he will reappoint the director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), review or adjust space policy, and so on. More importantly, when two people who are both interested in space and have radical ideas come together, the adjustments to U.S. space policy could be very 'drastic'. In the field of space, SpaceX effectively determines the timeline for NASA's launch missions, with most of the Department of Defense's satellites relying on SpaceX for launch. During Trump's first term, he pushed to reduce regulation on businesses from almost day one, including in the space sector with the second space policy directive (SPD 2). As stated in an ArsTechnica article: Folks, space policy is about to get pretty wild!

How Trump’s tariffs on China changed U.S. trade, in charts
Semiconductors, leather bags and laptops were among the top China imports that were most affected by the tariffs. Companies big and small have moved production from China to other manufacturing hubs such as Mexico, Vietnam, Taiwan and Malaysia. Last year, products coming from China made up 14% of all imported goods, the lowest share in nearly two decades. That number plunged to $26 million last year, even as the overall amount of wooden cabinets imported continued to climb. More than 70% of those imported goods were still sourced from China in 2023.

The Importance Of The Time Spent NOT Being Able To Make Your Movie
just my shadow self, going nowhere fast (Photo by Mark Pellington)Before I begin, let me get started with a note. They don’t really need you until you no longer need them. If you want the actor, you need the money, but if you want the money, you need the actor. I know you know that you didn’t yet do all the things that will make this film or make it inevitable. Now you have a bit of time, and you know you will need even more later when it is no longer available.

Commentary: Why I voted third party and I’m not sorry(ATTENTION EDITORS: 1 photo accompanies this column. I voted for Claudia De La Cruz, the Peace and Freedom Party candidate for president. With two exceptions over the last four decades of presidential elections, I have always voted for a progressive third-party presidential candidate. And I don’t make my choices thinking it doesn’t matter because in my blue state a Democrat will win anyway. The two-party system also guaranteed that only Republican and Democratic agendas got media exposure, major endorsements and nonstop public attention.
