NEW in @TheAtlantic: We don’t have ‘affordable’ public schools, ‘affordable’ libraries or ‘affordable’ fire departments. Why do we accept ‘affordable’ as the goalpost for child care?

Our response to the Surgeon General's piece on social media use. Great review of teen use, BUT children under 10 are now using social media. @Roblox, @APA, @SRCD, learn more about impact before opening gates of social media to young kids. brookings.edu/articles/an-ad…
It was such a pleasure to speak with @jackiemader at @hechingerreport about our new research on parenting and playful learning. @LEGOfoundation @TUinfchildlab
The good news is, research shows there’s a simple way to help kids do well academically and socially—and that involves simply giving them opportunities to play. But not all parents know how to support play or what kind of play benefits children the most.

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
