Education Secretary Takes a Stand Against Misbehaving Parents: Does Government Know Best?
The Role of the Government in Children's Education.

This includes providing adequate funding for schools, developing and implementing effective educational policies, and working to address systemic issues that may disproportionately affect certain groups of students.
Migrant Bus Arrivals Surge in Chicago, Raising Questions About Border Policy

Volunteers and immigration advocates in Chicago are reporting a notable increase in the number of migrant buses arriving in the city, raising concerns about the Biden administration's border policy.

However, the unintended consequence appears to be a rush of migrants to the border, fearing potential border closures.
