🤬 #SCOTUS allows #Trump officials to freeze #teacher training grants over *#DEI*

A divided #SupremeCourt on Fri cleared the way for the admin to at least temporarily freeze up to $65M in #educational grants designed to address #TeacherShortages, which the govt says fund programs that promote #diversity, #equity & #inclusion [as they should, though the Trump admin’s definition of DEI is humanity].

The Washington Post · Supreme Court allows Trump officials to freeze teacher grants for nowBy Ann E. Marimow

"Der Oberste Gerichtshof hat am Freitag der Trump-Administration erlaubt, 65 Millionen Dollar an Zuschüssen für die Lehrerausbildung vorübergehend auszusetzen, von denen die Regierung behauptet, sie würden Initiativen zur Förderung von Vielfalt, Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion fördern - ein früher Sieg für die Administration vor den Gerichten."

A user of my #Moodle #AIText question type (free text with #LLM feedback) was telling me how they supplied as much as possible of the answers in the #prompt to improve the quality of responses. This reminded me that no matter how interested I am in how my code is used, there is no substitute for it being used “in anger” by a real #teacher.

(*anger is used as a metaphor in this context, I prefer it if teachers are not actually angry using my plugins)

#asahi ( #Asahi_Linux or #asahifedoraremix ?) fans: I want to move away from #macos , I badly need to display my screen (#teacher here!) which is not supported, but I'm ready to make concessions...

Are there any known workarounds to still be able to display some stuff on a beamer?

I really wish to delete #macos (avoid dual boot). Any wireless display option (via an adapter on the beamer), other ports that can be used, ...

Thank you!
