  • Oklahoma’s newly-elected attorney general has reversed his predecessor’s legal opinion endorsing religious charter schools. —Tulsa World
  • Politically liberal teens spend more time on social media than their conservative peers, which might account for those liberal students’ higher rates of depression. —Michelle Goldberg
  • The “last in, first out” rule in teacher contracts means that many newly-hired teachers of color could be laid off, a situation that will be made worse by the looming fiscal cliff faced by schools. —USA Today
