☆ How an Abortion Case Shaped Mike Johnson’s Path to the Speakership

Floors at the abortion clinic where they worked, they told him, were flecked with dried blood. For many people in Louisiana, the allegations against the Delta Clinic of Baton Rouge were a grim confirmation of what they already suspected. Aided by Mr. Johnson, a local TV news investigation would lead Louisiana’s Republican governor to declare a public health emergency. It was Mr. Johnson’s first triumph in a grinding two-decade battle against the Delta clinic — and against abortion more broadly — that would become one of the animating crusades of his public life. “I think the Delta clinic was the pivot point for Mike,” said Gene Mills, president of Louisiana Family Forum, an influential conservative group.

☆ How Ron DeSantis Joined the ‘Ruling Class’ — and Turned Against It

In January, Pinellas school district officials yanked Toni Morrison’s classic novel “The Bluest Eye” from high schools after a parent complained about a two-page rape scene. But in counties like Pinellas, his policies and rhetoric have already had what his critics believe is their intended effect. She objected to parts of the syllabus Mr. Robinson had distributed to his class on African-American history, which her son had briefly enrolled in. “I don’t stop my class and ask my white kids, ‘Hey, how are you feeling?’ What kind of teacher would do that?” Mr. Robinson said. In January, someone reported Mr. Robinson for a TikTok mentioning that he had taught students in his Dunedin sociology class about the Black thinker W.E.B.

☆ The Education of Ron DeSantis: 5 Takeaways
  + stars: | 2023-08-20 | by ( Nicholas Confessore | More About Nicholas Confessore | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Despite his struggles on the campaign trail, Mr. DeSantis has become captain of a new conservative vanguard that views public schools and universities as the chief battleground of the culture wars — and his Florida education policies as a model for red states around the nation. Yet Mr. DeSantis is both a member of the ruling class and a critic of it. An examination by The New York Times reveals how Mr. DeSantis, genuinely embittered by his experiences at elite institutions, also astutely grasped how they could be useful to him. He now offers voters a revisionist history of his own encounters with the ruling class to buttress his arguments for razing it — and for remaking public education itself. Here are five takeaways from the Times article.
