— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: ACT test scores drop to lowest in 30 years in pandemic slide – AP (COMMENT: What was your ACT score? Since 1966, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have stressed that my score was only 24 and I only just made it into the top 20% of my high school class.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20221012/news/310129965
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The class of 2022’s average ACT composite score was 19.8 out of 36, marking the first time since 1991 that the average score was below 20. What’s more, an increasing number of high school students failed to meet any of the subject-area benchmarks set by the ACT – showing a decline in preparedness for college-level coursework. The test scores, made public in a report Wednesday, show 42% of ACT-tested graduates in the class of 2022 met none of the subject benchmarks in English, reading, science and math, which are indicators of how well students are expected to perform in corresponding college courses. In comparison, 38% of test takers in 2021 failed to meet any of the benchmarks.)

— These Reforms Can Help Curb Radical Teachers – Peter Wood & David Randall
https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2022/10/12/these_reforms_can_help_curb_radical_teachers_858462.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Radical activists use education schools and licensure requirements as their central means to gain power over America’s classrooms. Radical activists long ago seized control of education schools and began to insert ever more radical ideology and pedagogy into teacher training. The radicalized education schools propagandize would-be teachers and they screen out would-be teachers who refuse to assent to radical dogma. The radical activists also use education licensure requirements to force teachers and education administrators to receive degrees from education schools. This requirement ensures that our schools’ education administrators and teachers are committed to radical ideology. More recently, states such as Illinois and Minnesota have moved to impose explicitly politicized education licensure requirements.)
