You'd never know it from the political discourse, but education ranks ahead of immigration, foreign policy, and violent crime among voters' priorities heading into the midterms.

Did Virginia Tech make this kick??? From this angle it looks like it went through and curled at the end. I’m not saying he definitely did but did VT just get robbed? Pitt with a wild win, and boy will this have controversy.

Lots of comments on NHJ but this one by @IanVRowe is worth a careful read 👇

Nikole Hannah-Jones claims there is no absolution for she and other privileged parents who “continue to rescue our own children from the failing schools where we allow other people’s children to languish simply because those children have been born Black and poor in a nation of racism and riches.” Newsflash: Those “languishing” parents do not want nor need your absolution. They simply want the same privilege Hannah-Jones and her husband ultimately exercised: the right to choose a better school for their own child.
