The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the University of North Texas can charge out-of-state American citizens higher tuition than illegal aliens who live in Texas. This was a big win for illegal aliens’ largest lobbying organizations. (The Texas Tribune)

About 17,000 migrants are waiting in Northern Baja California for an opportunity to cross the border, according to Mexico’s National Institute of Migration. An estimated 8,000 are coming to Tijuana monthly to begin the asylum process. (Border Report)

The U.S. agriculture industry now imports 200,000 foreign H-2A visa workers, one of the largest amounts ever.

By 2025, the number of foreign visa workers imported to the U.S. through the program is expected to reach almost half a million.

Border Patrol agents recorded over 100,000 apprehensions at the U.S-Mexico border, the lowest level in months.

• Education

California adopted a new math policy based on critical race theory (CRT). The new math curriculum guidance framework applies social justice, equity, and cultural responsiveness as part of math. This is supposed to allow students who underperform in math (mostly black and Hispanic students) to have engaged participation and “a sense of belonging” to math. It also helps them use math to address social inequities in society. (Ed Week)

The Boston Globe reported that the Cambridge Public Schools eliminated advanced math in middle school, intending to reduce disparities between low-income children of color and their more affluent peers. This is also CRT in praxis; erasing disparities means lowering standards for everyone.
