How to Edit Your Own Writing Overwriting is a bigger problem than underwriting. The rule for most writers is, “If in doubt, cut it.” If a word isn’t necessary, cut it; if a sentence isn’t necessary, cut it; if a paragraph isn’t necessary, cut it. nytimes.com/2020/04/07/smart…

#WorldPoetryDay | "First they came ..." is the poetic form of a post-war confessional prose by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller. It deals with themes of persecution, guilt, repentance, and personal responsibility.

HERO CROSSING GUARD carried a kid on their back across a water soaked Chicago street on this frigid morning. @WGNMorningNews Skycam 9 was above the scene as this crossing guard went above and beyond. Well done!

This is an active shooter "practice drill" in a middle school in the United States of America in case the teacher dies. This is America in 2025. This does not have to be America in 2025.

Kids can't learn on an empty stomach.  Starting this fall, all New York public school students will have access to free breakfast and lunch. It just makes sense.
