Don’t fall for it.

How many taxpayer dollars will be provided to school districts to cover these costs?
Will library books have to be removed for referencing the Gulf of Mexico?
It doesn’t look like we did this in 2006/2007 when Pluto became a dwarf planet.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act, which was signed into law Dec. 16, 1974, by President Gerald Ford. Waterborne diseases plummeted, water monitoring increased and more funding was allocated to upgrade drinking water treatment.
Looking back on the Safe Drinking Water Act as it turns 50
The legislation, which was signed into law in December 1974 by President Gerald Ford, has touched everything from waterborne diseases to toxic ‘forever chemicals.'

When Adam Gray wins, it will be 220-215 in the House. Gaetz is out, and Trump has named three GOP members to his administration. So… 217-215 for the first few months? One defection margin? Good luck, Mike Johnson!

Orange County, FL has banned Wicked from its HS libraries.
There wasn’t a formal objection filed by a county resident. They skipped a public committee review process that would have allowed OCPS parents to weigh in on appropriateness.
It’s one of many districts in FL that have removed the book.
