#NewYork Education Department Hindered an Abuse Investigation at Boarding School for #Autistic Youth

A judge ruled that the agency must cooperate in a #disability rights investigation into Shrub Oak International School, which charges up to $573K/year but has no meaningful oversight.

A ProPublica investigation found that would-be whistleblowers could not get state authorities to intervene at the #school.

Ticketed at #School as a Teen, a Young Black Woman Is Suing an #Illinois City for Violating Her Civil Rights

It took four years and a jury trial for Amara Harris to beat the ticket that accused her of stealing another girl’s AirPods.

Now she’s heading back to court in the hope of stopping #schools from using #police to discipline #students.

It's just after midnight in #China & thus after the 2 days (& about 9 hours) of the #Gaokao, the hardest Uni entrance #exam in the world.

They stop construction work & reroute traffic for this every year.

#Students get a celebratory flag-waving parade to the school.

This year (2024) 13.42 million students have (or will still have to) taken this exam.

That's about the same amount of humans as live in #Burundi.

"For example, while Leiden University has stated that study aboard schemes with Tel Aviv & Hebrew U have been put on hold, they haven’t cut ties with them. And they are only on-hold because of the safety regulations the Dutch government has placed on travel – so not because Leiden University has suddenly developed a moral compass."
