The fight for African American studies in schools isn’t getting easier, even after 50 years: For many years, marginalized communities have fought to determine how they tell and learn about their own history. Florida in 1994 became the first state to pass a law mandating the teaching of African American history in schools. Now, with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis at the helm, the state has been at the forefront of efforts to restrict lessons about race and racism in classrooms.

The Turkish Election Is a Rare Chance for a U.S. and EU Reset: Washington and Brussels must encourage Ankara to come back into the fold. Erdoğan’s ratings may no longer be as high as before, but his core base mostly remains loyal, and he will use all his advantages as the head of Türkiye’s politicized executive presidential system to win.

Abortion in North Carolina Hinges on Just One Republican Keeping Their Word: Calling abortion “a very personal, moral issue,” the Wilmington Republican said: “I believe in the [existing] law. If a woman desires to have an abortion up to 20 weeks, which is the second trimester of pregnancy, she can have an abortion. But after that, I believe in reasonable restrictions. Those reasonable restrictions are rape, incest, unviable fetus, or danger to the health of the mother.”
