"The investigation into the co-op house, called Kairos, began last spring after multiple reports were filed alleging that #Jewish #students participating in an unnamed extracurricular activity were “asked to leave the house and told that, among other things, the presence of ‘#Zionists’ in the group was making residents of the house uncomfortable,” #Stanford said in a statement.

Following an investigation, the #school’s #TitleVI office found that the unnamed extracurricular project had “nothing to do with the #MiddleEast and that none of the students present had shared their political beliefs,” according to the school."

Cool, cool. This definitely makes me feel better about Australia. Clearly, this is simply political. :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

"The #students, aged 10 and 11, many of whom were visibly #Jewish, were reportedly confronted by a group of high school students from another #school, who directed offensive #slurs and political #chants at them in a shared activity space.

The high school students are alleged to have called the children “dirty #Jews” and chanted “Free, free #Palestine” in a confrontation that left the younger children shocked and distressed."

Several family members took the opportunity to…[give victim/survivor statements] to Kohberger…. Randy Davis, the stepfather of 1 of the victims, concluded by telling him to “go to hell.”

Kohberger, 30, agreed to 4 consecutive #LifeSentences as part of a #PleaDeal that allows him to avoid #execution for the fatal #stabbing of the 4 #UniversityOfIdaho #students early on Nov 13, 2022. But many questions remain unanswered, including…: What was the motive?

Since those talks started, the Depts of #Education & #HHS both opened challenges to the #university’s #accreditation, which could someday jeopardize the ability of Harvard #students to receive federal #StudentAid. And #ICE has served subpoenas to Harvard w/sprawling demands that included payroll records, years of disciplinary files & any videos #Harvard had of #InternationalStudents protesting on campus since 2020.

@cstross “People who actually want a personal computer they can program are a niche market, albeit vastly larger than in 1982”

The roots of the #Mega65 lay in #CS #education with #students not being able to grasp the basics not because of lack of intelligence, but through the lack of exposure to basic computing hardware.

“By insulating new computer science and IT students from how computers really work, we may well be disadvantaging them, by preventing them from learning how a computer really works. It's quite the same idea as starting a mechanic on a simple old car, instead of on a nuclear submarine: make the important details visible so that they can be learnt.” — Paul Gardner-Stephen
