Homeschool Superstar: Meet the woman who just became the youngest Black law school graduate

Posted: 23 May 2022 09:58 AM PDT

MSNBC reports:

When Haley Taylor Schlitz graduated from her Texas homeschooling high school program at age 13, she said she was simply moving at her preferred pace.

"It was never like 'I'm doing this because I want to graduate early.' That has never been the goal. It's always been about where I needed to be," Schlitz told Know Your Value.

But she wasn't finished. Three years later, Schlitz graduated from Texas Women's University at age 16. And on Friday, Schlitz, now 19, became the youngest Black woman ever to graduate law school, at Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law.

Schlitz was born in Los Angeles but attended a customized homeschooling program in Keller, Texas. Her education was overseen her physician mother, and her father, a political campaign manager.

"I completed geography in about three months and moved on, for example. It was my natural pace, and my education was personalized," she said. "There was also a curriculum for students who were right on time, who can go with the flow. I had a lot of socialization because I could attend in-person college-style classes twice a week. It was wonderful."

Amazing what can happen when kids aren't in the government schools.

Harvard's Laurence Tribe Vs. Yale's Akhil Amar: The Battle Over Judicial Precedent

Posted: 23 May 2022 05:34 AM PDT

The Guardian has a piece on Roe V. Wade from Harvard's Laurence Tribe. Remember, Professor Tribe was the constitutional law professor for : Barack Obama, Ted Cruz, Justice Elena Kagan, and Chief Justice John Roberts. Professor Tribe is not happy with Yale Law School Professor Akhil Amar:
The argument that "only" abortion is involved because Alito's draft assures readers that the supreme court's opinion won't be treated as precedent for anything that doesn't involve killing an unborn human is both profoundly insulting and manifestly misleading. It insults every sentient person by minimizing the significance of commandeering the bodies and lives of half the population – and re-inserting government power into every family. And it misleads every reader of Alito's words by suggesting that a court has the power to shape how future lawmakers and judges will build on its decisions and the reasoning underlying them. Alito's hollow promise brings to mind similar assurances in notorious cases like Bush v Gore, is inconsistent with how the judicial process works, and wouldn't offer any solace to anyone who might become pregnant or whose miscarriage might be treated as a crime scene for police to investigate.
There's more:
Justice Alito and Professor Amar are simply wrong: profoundly so. That so-called (and quite misleadingly labeled) "switch in time that saved the nine" was nothing like the switch that Dobbs would represent. The 1937 "switch" was no sudden politically driven turnabout but was in fact the culmination of long-simmering movements in legal and economic thought – movements that were reflected both in scholarship and in judicial opinions from the earliest days of the 20th century in places like Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' dissent in Lochner v New York insisting that "the 14th amendment does not enact Mr Herbert Spencer's social statics," movements that represented the growing conviction that the "freedom" to work at low wages and in miserable conditions was an illusion lacking both moral and legal foundations and one that simply helped perpetuate economic inequality and the exploitation of relatively powerless, not-yet-unionized workers by wealthy and powerful corporations.
Professor Tribe is concerned. You'll want to read the entire article. It appears Professor Tribe feels economic rights are the poor first cousin of all other rights in justifying his position.

Massachusetts voters have a chance to tax the 1% for education and transportation

Posted: 23 May 2022 03:27 AM PDT

The Daily Kos reports:
Kurt Wise of the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center has noted that the Fair Share Amendment would advance racial justice since the top 1% of households are disproportionately white—86% compared with 73% of the state's households overall. While the new tax would affect 0.8% of white households, it would affect only 0.4% of Black households and 0.2% of Latino households. But the revenue collected would go to education for all kids, and roads and bridges and public transit used by anyone traveling through the state.

ESPN LOST 8 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS IN 2021, 10% OF ITS OVERALL SUBSCRIBER BASE

Posted: 23 May 2022 03:22 AM PDT

Outkick reports:
The loss of those eight million subscribers will cost the network roughly a billion a year in recurring revenue across all ESPN network properties.
There's more:
Do you know how many people pay yearly for NFL Sunday Ticket on DirecTV? Around two million households. Do you know how many people were willing to pay for WWE? A few million. The NFL and WWE have passionate, dedicated audiences obsessed with their products and most people elect not to sign up when they have to pay for it monthly in a direct to consumer model. In fact, no individual sport has been able to get ten million monthly streaming subscribers for its sports.
An article, well worth your time.

Democrats look to defy political headwinds in Georgia

Posted: 23 May 2022 03:09 AM PDT

The Hill reports:

Democrats are bracing for an uphill battle in Georgia, where crucial top-of-the-ticket races are slated to test the resiliency of the coalition and organizing efforts that powered Democratic victories in the state less than two years ago.

With Stacey Abrams running unchallenged for the Democratic nomination for governor and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) facing only nominal opposition in Tuesday's primary, the party is already turning its focus to the November general elections. 

But unlike in recent years, when Democrats made steep gains powered by aggressive voter mobilization efforts and opposition to former President Trump, they're facing a much bleaker political environment in 2022, one that threatens to undercut the party's hopes of strengthening its foothold in Georgia.

Fizzling legislative agenda leaves Democrats wondering about midterms

Posted: 23 May 2022 02:59 AM PDT

The Hill reports:

Democrats once hailed Build Back Better as the policy that could help them win the midterms.  

But as even the possibility of a scaled-back version of President Biden's signature legislation fizzles in the 50-50 Senate, some are wondering if the president will have anything comparable to campaign on as the election season inches closer. 

The White House considers the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law passed last fall as a major legislative accomplishment. They also see Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill as a win. And they say the fight over some version of Build Back Better isn't over. 


Imagine that.
