"Texas public schools educate north of 700,000 Black children — more than any other state in the country. And negative outcomes among a disproportionate share of majority-Black schools means thousands of kids could leave without the knowledge they need to thrive, even as state leaders often say that “demographics do not equal destiny” and have passed laws restricting the consideration of race in education policy."
As Black-majority schools in Texas receive more Fs than A ratings, families are weighing whether to send their children to schools with more academic resources — but potentially fewer of their values. bit.ly/45dXmhj

It’s fascinating to see how the orange trees are watered in the courtyard of the Mezquita-Catedral (Kurtuba Mosque-Cathedral) in Córdoba, Spain.
This centuries-old irrigation system dates back to around 784 AD.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This courtyard had irrigated trees from the 9th century but its current layout and visible irrigation channels date to 1597-1601 under Bishop Francisco Reinoso. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosque–Ca… mezquita-catedraldecordoba.es/en/descubre-el…

A report from @EconomicPolicy approximated President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown through deportations will cost American taxpayers an average of $2,358 throughout the course of his presidency.

Interesting. Thoughts?
Public debates in contemporary society often escalate with striking speed.
From the rise of cancel culture, to whether a novel should be taught at school, to whether a statue should be torn down, public opinion can feel more starkly divided than ever.
While we often perceive these clashes as a fight between conservatives and liberals, social psychologist Manrata Goyal argues that the real divide runs deeper; a psychological and philosophical split between moral absolutism and moral relativism.
In this article, Goval proposes that understanding this divide is key to making sense of today’s culture wars.

I never tried to give my life meaning
By demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't wanna live that way

I believe true dialogue fosters understanding. It's time to engage in respectful conversations, not just noise.

"Get eight hours of sleep a night" has been the standard advice for decades, but sleep is a far more complicated process than this simple guidance suggests. New studies reveal that good sleep is highly individualized, and longer doesn't always mean better. 🔗 on.natgeo.com/ES8KhV
Hmmm. Not sure I agree but that taco looks good. "I understand food-safety regulations and their importance to public health. They are part of my job. I take them seriously. (I’m kind of a germaphobe too.) But as long as one understands the risks, they should get to enjoy the intimate experience of enjoying home cooking in a stranger’s backyard. Whenever I hear of such places, I definitely visit—just don’t expect me to write or post about it."
Taco editor José R. Ralat is fond of visiting a certain kind of dining establishment, especially when he travels to Mexico.
In Texas, it’s rarer and likely to be shut down quickly. texasmonthly.com/food/carnit…

Sunday morning, heard the preacher say
" Thou shall not kill "
I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing
And that it's God's will
'Cause our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They're gonna be like us
So let's learn from our history
And do it differently
