By Steven F. Wilson President Trump’s sweeping dictate to end what he terms “unlawful DEI practices” is meeting fierce resistance. The National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers and the ACLU all filed suit in opposition. And last month, three federal judges — two appointed by Trump — ruled against the administration. One noted that the “government cannot proclaim entire categories of classroom content discriminatory to side-step the bounds of its statutory authority.” The harm some diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are doing to children — especially Black and Latino students from low-income families — is increasingly evident. While certain DEI initiatives are salutary, others exacerbate noxious stereotypes and braid political teachings into daily lessons. But President Trump’s vague and illiberal prohibitions are not the answer. Threatening to cut off federal funding to schools that educate our neediest children for their failure to comply with those prohibitions is unconscionable.... Read more →

Budget reflects ongoing commitment to student aid amid federal uncertainty and rising costs The Rutgers Board of Governors today approved a $5.9 billion university operating budget, supported in part by a 5% tuition increase for in-state students and a 6% increase for out-of-state students for the 2025-2026 academic year.

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor Genius is occasionally driven by desperation, and that’s what happened to Annette down at the Soup ‘R Market.

She thought she was ordering 80 pounds, you see, but there was static … oh well…. So the banner went up across the front of the market. It was so thick you had to duck under it to get in the store. “Giant Squash Recipe Contest,” it read. This was fascinating, because science and mothers have been trying for centuries to make squash edible to normal human beings. Some thought it wasn’t possible, but those folks probably think we didn’t land on the moon, either. In most of us there is this innate belief that... Read more →
