North Carolina school district bans book over parental rights law
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools removed Red: A Crayon's Story after parent concerns tied to a new parental rights law banning certain gender identity and sexuality instruction for kindergartners through fourth graders. The decision follows a history of similar debates about books like Jacob's New Dress and reflects broader national shifts in anti LGBTQ measures affecting classrooms and libraries.

Pelosi eviction underscores partisan rancor in House upheaval
Francis Wilkinson analyzes how McCarthy's ouster and Pelosi's Capitol exit reflect rising affective polarization. He contrasts Democratic cohesion under Jeffries with Republican chaos, noting Ocasio Cortez and Biden moderation, McConnell's restraint, and Democrats' push for credibility while Republicans drift toward Trumpist lies and 1950s nostalgia. The piece frames a GOP path away from MAGA toward democracy.
