Screenshot of title page of an article published in the Journal of Educational Psychology titled "Switching Within STEM: Examining the Motivational Concerns That College Students Report Considering When Changing Career Plans Within STEM Fields"

I really like this study of the reasons college students move from one STEM major to another, particularly its focus on both the attractive aspects of the new major AND their disenchantments with their old major. Both parts are important. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

NEWSOM, Circuit Judge: Katie Wood is a transgender woman who teaches at a public high school in Florida. Two years ago, the state enacted Fla. Stat. § 1000.071(3), which, as applied to Wood, prohibits her from using the honorific "Ms." and the gendered pronouns "she," "her," and "hers" in exchanges with students during class time. Wood sued to enjoin the enforcement of § 1000.071(3) against her. The district court granted Wood a preliminary injunction, finding it substantially likely that the law violates her First Amendment right to free speech.

By a 2–1 vote, the 11th Circuit holds that trans teachers in Florida have NO First Amendment right to use their preferred pronouns at school.

I’m starting to wonder if conservative judges are applying the First Amendment fairly to our public school system … media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

For decades, we've been told that technology opens doors—but what if, in practice, #access doesn’t mean #equity? What if, as Dr. Roderic N. Crooks argues, “you can't get there from here”? 🤔 Episode 139 #nosuchthingpod @ucirvine.bsky.social @clalliance.bsky.social shows.acast.com/nosuchthing/...
