Mass. Teachers Association Under Fire. The Massachusetts Teachers Association is under fire for alleged antisemitic learning materials on the Israel-Hamas war. The MA Special Commission on Combatting Antisemitism gathered more than two dozen examples of materials distributed by the MTA that they said were problematic, presenting a one-sided viewpoint that appeared to be Pro-Palestinian in nature. MTA President Max Page was questioned during a special hearing to address the matter, in which he told members, the materials “emerged organically among the union’s members and he did not want to censor individual members.” Tonight, we discuss!

Elon Musk: Hero or Villain? Elon Musk, billionaire and senior advisor to President Trump, is making political waves for his “involvement” or guidance for the Department of Government Efficiency. This week the White House put out a statement clarifying that Musk is not leading the department or it’s “cost-cutting efforts,” that rather Musk is an employee of the “White House Office.” This declaration comes after a lawsuit was filed by 14 states against Trump and Musk, claiming their efforts to cut government spending are unconstitutional. Do you take aim with Musk’s political involvement? Why or why not? Tonight, your thoughts on the “Musk effect”!
