- The irony in this piece is more visible than a mass coronal ejection, I reckon. Sentence one: “Education is at the heart of preparations being made ahead of Ohio’s total solar eclipse coming April 8.” Sentence two: “…and many schools have already announced closures for students the day of the eclipse.” (Mansfield News Journal, 1/22/24)
- School boards gonna school board; unions gonna union. This disastrous mess brought to you by the never-very-functional Akron City Schools will likely be in litigation forever. There are a number of moving parts—always a hallmark of the obstructionist playbook—but the bottom line is that a chance for the district to provide free tutoring services to hundreds of needy students will likely never happen due to union grievances with the plan, the debate around it, the means of its adoption, etc., etc. Tough luck, kiddos! (Akron Beacon Journal, 1/23/24)
