The G7 countries published new, stronger climate defense pledges.

Teachers in states with don't-discuss-racism laws were afraid to talk with students about the Buffalo race massacres.

Some states have laws against teaching anything that is likely to "disturb" students. What about lockdown drills?

Proprietary malware accused a student of cheating in an exam, based on the fact that it saw her look down at her lap.

Merely installing that malware on your computer sabotages it. You can't trust it at all after that, though since it has to be running Windows, you couldn't trust it before that point either.

If a school wanted me to take a test this way with my computer, I would reply that that is both practically impossible (since my computer does not run Windows) and immoral (since no one should run malware).

I would agree to take the test on a computer run ny the school itself (if the school runs nonfree software on its computers, that hurts the school but not me) in a room set up by the school. That way the school could make sure I brought nothing to cheat with, and would know I'm not looking at other people or posters in the room.

Since the Cold War, US presidents have given themselves broad power in "emergencies". Neither the public nor Congress know where it stops, but it probably includes jailing anyone, shutting down phones and the internet, and stopping anyone from leaving the US.

And that doesn't include secret powers for the miitary.

The "emergency" declared in September 2001 is still continuing.
