☆ Oklahoma Attorney General Sues to Stop US's First Public Religious School
  + stars: | 2023-10-20 | by ( Associated Press | Oct. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
Oklahoma's Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond on Friday sued to stop a state board from establishing and funding what would be the nation's first religious public charter school after the board ignored Drummond's warning that it would violate both the state and U.S. constitutions. Drummond filed the lawsuit with the Oklahoma Supreme Court against the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board after three of the board's members this week signed a contract for the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual Charter School, which is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. The school board voted 3-2 in June to approve the Catholic Archdiocese's application to establish the online public charter school, which would be open to students across the state in kindergarten through grade 12. A message left Friday with Rebecca Wilkinson, the executive director of the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board, was not immediately returned, although Wilkinson has said previously she wouldn't comment on pending litigation. The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, a nonprofit organization that supports the public charter school movement, released a statement Friday in support of Drummond's challenge.

Sheryl Sandberg and her Lean In organization are rolling out a new program for girls ages 11-15, designed to encourage girls to set leadership goals, navigate risk, and identify and challenge bias. Sandberg says she was inspired to create this new initiative because the adult Lean In community is thriving, with 80,000 circles in 183 countries, growing faster than ever before. "Girls in high school are twice as likely as boys to think that having any leadership role will make them be called 'bossy.' "We really want girls to embrace and lean into their superpowers. We want girls to know that they're going to face stereotypes that there's going to be headwinds.

☆ Chicago, the Second Tough-on-Crime City?
  + stars: | 2023-04-05 | by ( William A. Galston | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Democrats who still deny the political potency of crime should take a hard look at the race for mayor of Chicago. The incumbent, Lori Lightfoot , mishandled the issue so badly that her re-election bid collapsed in the first round of voting. Mr. Johnson, an unabashed progressive, is a former social-studies teacher and organizer for the Chicago Teachers Union. Mr. Vallas has made a crackdown on crime the centerpiece of his campaign; Mr. Johnson once appeared to support reduced funding for police but now denies he ever did. Mr. Vallas is white and Mr. Johnson is black, which matters in a city whose long history of racial divisions has shaped disputes about law enforcement.

He is the second out LGBTQ person to be elected governor of a state, after Gov. Before his career in politics, Polis was a tech entrepreneur and amassed a fortune worth nearly $400 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
