Republicans in Texas and elsewhere have attempted to subject teachers, librarians, and educational administrators to sanction should they express—or even make available—ideas that conservatives deem offensive. “Texas legislators cannot embed themselves in every classroom to monitor whether forbidden concepts and books are being discussed and assigned,” Adam Serwer writes. “But they can rely on informants.”

What plays into the decision to have a baby? In The Wonder Reader, Isabel Fattal examines the factors, beyond family policy and government funding, that go into family planning. https://lnkd.in/e59but43 At one point in her life, Olga Khazan thought, “If you don’t get baby fever, maybe that means you’re not meant to have a baby.” But she soon realized that cooing over pudgy cheeks and the new-baby smell didn’t have much to do with whether a person was ready for—or wanted—a child. This week’s newsletter explores the less tangible but equally important needs and desires that color the choice to have kids.
