The sad decline political news on cable TV now includes MSNBC. Its corporate managers are busily hiring as many Republicans and "former Republicans" as possible. Evidently they think this will "broaden" their coverage as they fire persons with even modest left leaning views.

Faced with the extraordinary technological & social transformations of the middle 19th century, Karl Marx studied the situation carefully and proposed a forceful response for the workers affected. Alas, there is no equivalent thinker/advocate for the AI revolution we face today.

In 1930s Germany, educators and publishers were forced to comply with Nazi edicts on what was permissible. Sad to see today's College Board yield to similar pressures from Florida's governor (with other right leaning states in line?) rollingstone.com/politics/po…

It appears that GOP campaign hysteria about US schools teaching about race and gender in the nation's history is losing steam. Learning about such matters does not involve "hating America," instead about learning the roots of key issues and conflicts in our society.
