The President of the United States is in the process of placing the entirety of the Federal government under his own control using methods that are in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution.

I'm proud of my deft non-confrontational solution to the student I suspected of using AI for a bunch of club stuff (since it's not an "assignment" my options to use school policy were limited & I didn't want to make the kid feel singled out/exposed)
"For all images on our material it's important to credit the artist or say if it's from a clip art library-- some students have worked hard to design logos, give them credit! All images should have a source!"
