They are school leaders who address the physical, mental and emotional health needs of students. As the COVID-19 pandemic played out, many school nurses took on even greater responsibilities. These […]

John Micek: Fight over critical race theory hits statehouses
Everyone’s complaining about Congress, but if you want to track the real, festering growth of Trumpism and its corrosive effect on our politics, you’re better served keeping your eye on state capitols throughout the land.

Guest column: Thanks, Barney, for the Mayberry memories
I admit I’ve always mocked Trekkies, those folks so hooked on the Star Trek TV series they have enormous fan clubs all over the world and meet for “conventions,” wearing absurdly dorkish pointed rubber ears and ski PJs, and where they chatter in Trekkiespeak called “Klingon” which, by the way, they all understand!
