Voter suppression? Maine gov. warns college students about residency Posted: 08 Nov 2016 08:44 AM PST In yet another case of alleged voter suppression, the governor of Maine stoked concerns by asserting that college students should establish residency if they want to vote in the state. Republican Gov. Paul LePage, known for his blunt demeanor and support for Donald Trump, issued the statement in response to fliers found on the campus of Bates College that indicated, amongst other things, students must change their driver's license in order to vote and would incur hundreds of dollars in fees during the registration process. "Democrats for decades have encouraged college students from out of state to vote in Maine, even though there is no way to determine whether these college students also voted in their home states," Governor LePage said in a statement.

Donald Trump says he's proud of child Tiffany 'to a lesser extent' than the others Posted: 08 Nov 2016 08:40 AM PST It's Election Day, so Donald Trump only has a few more chances to let the nation know which of his children he likes the least. Calling in to Fox & Friends , the Republican nominee spoke about how proud he is of his adult children. Most of them, at least. "I'm very proud of my children. I mean, I'm just looking at them right now as an example... but I'm very proud 'cause Don and Eric and Ivanka and, you know, to a lesser extent 'cause she just got out of school, out of college, but, uh, Tiffany, who's also been so terrific. I mean, they work so hard." Did Trump have to say he's less proud of Tiffany? Of course not. Would it be Election Day if he didn't? No. No it would not. For posterity, here is a GIF showing the hosts' reactions as Donald states Tiffany's college graduation as a reason for being proud of her to a lesser extent. Happy Election Day, everybody.

Irish teachers strike as pay disputes test government, finances Posted: 08 Nov 2016 05:37 AM PST By Padraic Halpin DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish teachers went on strike on Tuesday in a dispute that could close most secondary schools indefinitely, the latest industrial unrest testing the minority government and pressuring the country's still fragile finances. Ireland was spared the kind of walkouts suffered by fellow bailout recipients Greece and Spain during the financial crisis as public sector workers reluctantly stomached deep wage cuts. With doctors also balloting for industrial action and nurses warning of the same, the disputes are putting pressure on a deal the government agreed with most trade unions last year to gradually restore some of the pay cuts by 2018.

Black Teachers to Schools: We Can Teach Kids Who Don’t Look Like Us Posted: 08 Nov 2016 04:27 AM PST "The Black teachers we spoke with were frustrated," according to the report, Through Our Eyes: Perspectives and Reflections From Black Teachers, which was produced by The Education Trust, a nonprofit policy center. "We become the representative for every child of color, I mean, whether we relate to them, whether our culture is the same or not," one teacher told The Education Trust researchers. "If you don't have people of color represented in leadership positions, or people who as [teaching] professionals served in these urban contexts represented in leadership positions, it results in a dissonance" between administrators and teachers of color, Fenwick said.
