Another Tatar rarity from our #DMG collection: a translation from #Ottoman into #Tatar by Gabdulla äs-Sadyjkyj äl-Ǧaekyj.

"Böek ber särvät (jahud) bik zur ber bajlyk". Kazanʹ 1898

#Ǧaekyj also composed #schoolbooks on Islamic topics in simplified #Ottoman Turkish.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments this morning in Mahmoud v. Taylor, a case that pits two foundational principles of public education against each other: the authority of local school boards to set a unified curriculum, and the rights of religious parents to exempt their children from materials they find objectionable.

Supreme Court Hears Case on Parents’ Religious Rights to Exempt Children from School Books

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments this morning in Mahmoud v. Taylor, a case that pits two foundational principles of public education against each other: the authority of local school boards to set a unified curriculum, and the rights of religious parents to exempt their children from materials they find objectionable.

And here we have the gist.

The right has always been playing the long game. They have read and studied "The Art of War"..

Where we are now is the result of decades of #HateMoney directed at exactly the harms that will now be inflicted on the US and the world.

#Fascism #ChristianNationalism #Theocracy #LeonardLeo #Racism #Misogyny #Ignorance #Hate all driven by #propaganda from every direction. #SchoolBooks #media and #Theofascism at the heart of every #religious #extremist

Oh wow, I never expected to find this book back...

@shaknais @thomholwerda If those assumptions by @senficon were incorrect, then most people I know where lifetime #DebtPeons to the #CopyrightMafia as they learned most stuff not from #Schoolbooks but other media - mostly commercially licensed stuff...

  • I.e. most millenials in Germany would owe TERFling royalities for learning English from her works.

And that's not even getting me started on how #Copywrong is irredeemably bad and should be abolished entirely because it's broken beyond salvageable...

  • It's naive at best to entertain the idea that #FLOSS projects and #CC-licensed artworks will be given even a single percent of leverage that the #Copyright-#Mafia is flexing!

@csgraves @dragonarchitect @nixCraft @gearlicious no, you need to go to law school and actually check the #facts:

No #Copyright-able works can be generated without #Authorship and a machine isn't a natural #person, thus can't be an #author.

Also if we think all #learning is #CopyrightInfringement, then we all are #DebtPeons to the #Copyrightmafia starting the moment we read or consume any media, including #Schoolbooks!

Not that I'd call it "#AI" for what is essentially a #shitposting #Chatbot nor that I defend the #WastefulComputing done for that #BuzzwordDrivenDevelopment...

Cuz that's a #NuancedOpinion...

@muiren I disagree re: #ComicSans, as there are various better alternatives in terms of legibility.

May it be #OpenDyslexic (for #Dyslexia) or #LEXEND (for #Schoolbooks and people learning to read) or #B612 (when you need something that was rigorously tested by #Airbus for #Aerospace applications and provides excellent legibility even in harsh and adverse conditions)...

Not to mention all these alternatives are openly licensed and free - whereas #ComicSans is a commercial font!

@flippac @cstross I mean it's obvious shit like #Astrohaus is a #grift aimed at exploiting #TechIlliterate #GareGivers and #Parents who don't know better.

It's like a lot of shit solutions pushed towards #disabled and #needy people.

Speaking of "breaking childrens necks":
We could've had all the #Schoolbooks as #ePub textbooks over 25 years ago but #Texbook #Publishers refused to make that possible, so kids lugged around up to 20kg of books depending on their schedule and homework assignments.

It’s amusing to note that after a few years of apparently normal behavior, the Texas #BoardofEducation may be back in the news again. We found this at a site called #TexasValues. Their post — it’s actually a press release — is titled Alert! Did You Come From a Monkey?, and it has no author’s by-line.
