The new reality of abortion bans: The journey of 15 women from Texas to New Mexico | USA TODAY


When women in Texas find out they are more than six weeks pregnant, their only legal option to end the pregnancy is to travel hundreds of miles out of state. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, this could be the new normal for women in as many as 26 states. This is what access could look like for the hundreds of thousands of women who seek abortions in those states every year.

Should the Teaching of Mathematics in Secondary Schools Be Resource Based?

Traditionally, the teaching of Mathematics in secondary schools rarely included the use of resources other than a text book.

Christmas Is More Than Jingle, Jingle

I have been trying lately to remember my first Christmas. I know my memory isn’t perfect, but I thought maybe I could bring up some old memories of my first Christmas. Unfortunately, I couldn’t think of a thing about that first Christmas of mine. Of course, it might be that I was only five months old at the time. Still, I tried to remember some of those old Christmases in the past. Down through the years, I have celebrated more Christmases than I want to let on. It’s not that I’m old; I just haven’t died yet. The thing about Christmas was all the stuff I was getting. The first Christmas I remember, I got a bunch of presents under the tree. None of my siblings had shown up at the time, so I was the focus of several Christmases. That was the essence of real joy. I thought Christmas was all about me and all I wanted for Christmas and all that would make me happy.
