So congruent that the #Trump admin is attacking American higher #education, because they can't even do high school algebra. The saying is "may you live in interesting times." Not "may you live in stupid times."

Lessons on How to Draw by Hokusai via Kottke [Shared]
In 1812, Japanese woodblock print artist Katsushika Hokusai, who would later become famous for his iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa prints, published a three-volume series called Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing. All three volumes are available online: one, two, three. Even if you’re not in the market for drawing lessons, the pages are wonderful to flip through.

I have it in mind to write a short manifesto on an aspect of #education , from a homeschool / out-of-mainstream point of view. I'm pretty sure I'm following or followed by a couple of people with experience of this kind of thing -- please could you DM or otherwise get in touch?
Can Trump reverse student loan forgiveness?
No—at least not for past forgiveness. Courts, contracts, and precedents make it nearly impossible to claw that back.
But new forgiveness? That could face big changes.

A lot of the issues stem from lack of support. When schools are crumbling and there is no easy way to fix buildings, then that means the rich are not paying their fair share. It's time to tax the rich to raise the funding necessary to fix our school buildings. https://rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/04/03/r-i-senators-float-alternatives-for-a-decades-old-school-takeover-law/ #Education #RhodeIsland

"President Trump’s team is selectively stripping away the public record, reconstructing his preferred vision of America in the negative space of purged history, archivists and historians said. As data and resources are deleted or altered, something foundational is also at risk: Americans’ ability to access and evaluate their past, and with it, their already shaky trust in facts."
~ Tiffany Hsu
"To create a new American authoritarianism, Trump and Hegseth must invert our most cherished values, maligning truth-telling as divisive ideology and censoring critical scholarship in the name of freedom of speech."

Robert P. Jones reports that his book White Too Long has been removed from holdings of the prestigious library of the US Naval Academy. He writes:
"This defilement of a respected academic institution by those who are waging an outright assault on higher education is, disturbingly, the goal. Honor and integrity are inconvenient stumbling blocks on the road to absolute power."
