Boyah J. Farah
I came to America as a refugee from Somalia. I know what happens when a group of people is labeled as a threat -- Salon
Andy Borowitz
The special counsel, Robert Mueller, just called Donald Trump to tell the President that he was “the most innocent person ever,” Trump told reporters on Thursday. -- New Yorker 

Sen Biss on Hitting Left
Candidate for governor, Sen. Daniel Biss
I support a complete moratorium on charters. The notion that we're opening charters and closing public schools is wrong-headed.  -- Hitting Left 
Pasi Sahlberg
The idea that Finland recruits the academically “best and brightest” to become teachers is a myth. In fact, the student cohort represents a diverse range of academic success, and deliberately so. -- Diane Ravitch Blog
