Some things to read today

•  I was struck by this piece in The Nation on student voices being ignored. It's short, but it's food for thought. 
  
  
• In a similar vein, Governing has this piece on public officials listening to their communities.
  
  
• The dangerous anti-vaccine movement that we saw grow so much during the height of the pandemic is growing in influence in statehouses.
  
  
• Every time I see another "parents outraged" on Satan after school clubs and schools panicking, I want to rant about people NEEDING TO GOOGLE, but this piece in The New Republic spells out where this is coming from, and why you should blame Clarence Thomas.
