By contrast, people remember the #KentState #massacre of 1970 because it was a bloody failure by the #NationalGuard, during which 4 #students were #killed. Indeed, during this period, many #police & National Guard units responded to unrest with heavy-handed tactics that resulted in many #civilian injuries & #fatalities.

LOL - same here, except I bought a giant sound system and hit back with a gazillion watts of Gary Numan (whom I was quite into at the time).
(Ooh, what a give-away.)

"[T]he majority of #Jewish #students inhabit a “great missing middle” in #Israeli-#Palestinian discourse.
Two-thirds of the students we spoke with are in this “missing middle,” divided into four categories:
“Conflicted” students were inconclusively grappling with the moral and political complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“Disillusioned” students struggled to reconcile their sentimental attachment to Israel with their disappointment – their sense that the country betrayed its own values in its treatment of #Palestinians.
“Retrenched” students turned inward, fearful of being identified as Jewish on campuses they perceived as hostile to #Jews.
The last category, “disengaged” students, were detached or actively steering clear of controversy."
Students at King's College London are learning how Roman coins were made, including the "significant disparity in portrait styles in Roman provincial coinage for which there is no good explanation" - how? By learning how dies are made and by practising striking coins themselves - it sounds a fascinating course!

About 150 Chicago schools sit half-empty, while 47 operate at less than one-third capacity.
The city “doesn’t seem to be having an honest conversation about the challenges it’s facing,” one school finance expert said.

Say what you want about #scotus. Today, the court ruled unanimously on the #disability #rights case, A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools.
The court has reaffirmed that #students with #disabilities are entitled to an #education free from #discrimination. Discrimination in #schools is plainly illegal, even if it is unintentional.
Additionally, a higher standard of proof is *not* required in education disability rights.

“We were astonished by the comments..by the Ministry..We had hoped the decision by #SuperiorCourt in April could mark reset of relationship w/ the gov. The comments, made 1 day after end of appeal period, make it clear this is not the case”»

#Trump says #China will supply rare earths, US to allow #students to attend schools in the #US — so never was about #NationalSecurity
A White House official said the agreement allows the US to charge a 55% #tariff on imported Chinese goods. This includes a 10% baseline “reciprocal”tariff, a 20% tariff for fentanyl trafficking & a 25% tariff reflecting pre-existing #tariffs. China would charge a 10% tariff on US imports, the official said.

Tennessee’s Law on School Threats Ensnared Students Who Posed No Risks. Two States Passed Similar Laws.
Despite an outcry over increased arrests in Tennessee, two states — Georgia and New Mexico — followed its lead by passing laws that will crack down harder on hoax threats.

Today in Labor History June 10, 1960: Thousands of council workers and revolutionary students surrounded the entourage of U.S. Presidential Press Secretary Hagerty at Haneda airport in Tokyo. Hagerty had to be rescued by a US marine helicopter, while the pro-imperialist government of Japan collapsed in embarrassment. President Eisenhower, fearing for his life, cancelled his July visit. The protests were part of the 1959-1960 Anpo (Security Treaty) protests. By June, 1960, hundreds of thousands of protestors were surrounding Japan's National Diet building in Tokyo on nearly a daily basis. At least one protestor was killed.
Today in Labor History June 10, 1971: Mexican police, and paramilitary death squads known as Los Halcones, killed 120 student protesters, including a 14-year-old boy, in the Corpus Christi Massacre, also known as El Halconazo. In 1968, the government had massacred up to 500 of students and bystanders in the Tlatelolco massacre. The Halconazo started with protests at the University of Nuevo Leon, for joint leadership that included students and teachers. When the university implemented the new government, the state government slashed their budget and abolished their autonomy. This led to a strike that spread to the National Autonomous University of Mexico and National Polytechnic Institute. To suppress the strike, the authorities used tankettes, police, riot police, and the death squad, known as Los Halcones, who had been trained by the CIA. Los Halcones first attacked with sticks, but the student fended them off. Then they resorted to high caliber rifles. Police had been ordered to do nothing. When the injured were taken to the hospital, Los Halcones followed and shot them dead in the hospital. Silvia Moreno-Garcia writes about these events in her 2021 novel “Velvet Was the Night.” It is also depicted in the 2018 film Roma.”

Dear undergraduate college/university #students in the USA,
I know you've been taught that it is "professional" to use #business #jargon like "reach out," "circle back", etc., and phrases euphemistically avoiding direct disagreement (e.g. "How can we resolve this?") or responsibility (e.g., "An error was made...").
You should know that many of us became professors partly because we did not want to be bankers or middle managers. In fact, many of us have issues with the commodification of the world in general and absolutely reject its intrusion into higher education.
For those of us in this boat (and I think it's quite a few professors), I am letting you know:
We fucking hate that language. Hate it.
Will you add your name as a grassroots co-signer to our Congressional letter today, demanding #Trump restore Job Corps and keep 25,000 #students in their homes? https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.qUXRBnqZ7T8nxbpAcIVwoUsWLkUMWlo_0JmZttSlm3_hs89zv4NOLBS3vbU0UYDzz7hMxXz1SM6gZJouOHDSoK_7rNFVP4XMgeSiwClvVx4WckoDXyrPWwMz9srBBgflkrF8llUfHrtp-1xvkS6GLV2IKThlss4EZ_HPE-C1Oh_hqrT4scMyaHJb4whBAqumIsBqn1rjStAFfVuF045r_xAMrl5xgbqxciXOsZ6-KfprM9Ot8zd2Nu61zhi-w38W3qrjBqQWflpKT-NTjcJtnlIqjVvle6FlsKZFbFR633sx_glBPumq05em0yxBLyQT46hRaNdd14Lxj0Pi2r_HFjGIpR_ztoyvjjXbJxRumQW9k9chJYizY5A5kzpTiZDZOZAFoEwdl1b9Xyx9cuV2mxlbTbYbRRyMzaQjeyLYWVl71gYoDJ8JGmDpo-VHTMFnFFMcsgsCepOpb4cb7QblyPFsePBTd-RQ0h2XCZXLiHA/4h6/LDPOL-gqQIinmQohGtKtyw/h1/h001.nsNhZh6iGkLyrqfMGuuacp0KyRsWiGAd_-QIc9WYf1Q
#China Really Wants to Attract Talented #Scientists. Trump Just Helped.
Even before the #US threatened to bar international #students and besieged #universities, China’s huge spending campaign on the #sciences was bearing fruit.
An ad from a group with links to the Chinese Academy of Sciences welcomed “talents who have been dismissed by the U.S. #NIH,” or National Institutes of Health. And streamlined admission to transfer students from #Harvard.
