JOANNE JACOBS: It’s a marathon, not a miracle.

As founder of the education nonprofit Mississippi First, Canter saw her home state start getting serious about meeting higher expectations in 2008. That change included state power to take over low-performing districts, A-F grades for schools and districts based on student achievement and challenging new learning standards.

The state’s literacy law passed in 2013: Schools screen students’ reading skills three times a year and report progress to parents. Students can’t read adequately by the end of third grade are held back a year. The law meant “everyone in the system would be in a hellfire hurry to teach children to read,” writes Canter. “No one wanted children to fail.”

Accountability works — who’d have thought?

GOD AND HASAN AT YALE: I Think TPUSA Is Making a Mistake In Not Letting Their Enemies Make Theirs.

“Never interrupt your enemy when they’re making a mistake.” — Napoleon

Charlie Kirk’s organization, TPUSA, is a fantastic one that has done a lot of good for this nation. Probably more good than many people understand, but as great as it is, I do think it’s perfectly capable of doing the wrong thing. For instance, I think it’s making a strategic blunder by opposing Hasan Piker speaking at Yale.

For those who need a refresher, Hasan Piker has become the left’s it-boy. He famously said America deserved 9-11, and recently said that someone should kill Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).

Piker is known for his extremist rhetoric, which finds its home on the streaming platform known as Twitch, where he enjoys being above the rules.

Exit quote: “We deny ourselves a gift by trying to silence Piker or, at the very least, not allowing him to speak where the general public could see. At the end of the day, the only people Piker’s words are dangerous to are himself, so let him say them.”

CREEPY: Meta is reportedly building an AI clone of Mark Zuckerberg.

Picture this: You’re a senior Meta employee looking for feedback from the CEO. But, instead of hearing from the real Mark Zuckerberg, you get a response from a Zuckerberg AI character. As absurd as that sounds, it could eventually be a reality.

Meta is reportedly working on such an AI character, training it on Zuckerberg’s mannerisms, tone and publicly available statements, according to the Financial Times. The character is also learning about the CEO’s thoughts on recent company strategy, with the idea that it could offer advice to Meta employees.

The company has reportedly, for some time, been working on creating photorealistic, 3D animated AI characters that can manage interactions. However, it now appears to be focusing on this Zuckerberg AI character, which would interact with employees when the CEO can’t or doesn’t want to.

Clippy, only it’s the CEO?

No thanks.

This, of course, is why they depend on importing voters and indoctrinating other people’s children.
