The Illinois Family Institute (IFI) recently encouraged parents to demand their children be removed from classes taught by teachers who voice support for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community.

IFI suggests that liberal teachers are vocal about their politics and, because of this, are easily identifiable. According to the group, “Students usually know who the liberal, activist teachers are. Liberal teachers develop reputations, often as the ‘cool’ teachers.” Everyone would like to consider themselves a “cool” teacher, but are you “cool” in the way the Illinois Family Institute suggests? Are you vocal in your tolerance of the LGBT community and your support of LGBT students? Take the cool teacher quiz to find out if IFI would consider you cool.

Ken Jennings couldn’t.

The man who made history in 2004 by winning 74 consecutive rounds of Jeopardy wasn’t able to figure out the short story presented to eighth graders across New York during a reading exam this past April. The story, which has gone down in infamy (it even has its own Facebook page), involves a talking pineapple that challenges a hare to a race and is subsequently eaten by all the animals in the forest. The moral of the story? Pineapples don’t have sleeves. If you’re confused, you’re not alone.

For the First Time Ever, a Majority of the Unemployed Have Attended College

Everybody is looking for the next big “bubble”. Maybe it’s bonds. Or tech stocks. Or … college? With tuition soaring and job prospects not, a growing chorus thinks higher education might just be too big not to fail. The calculus is simple. If college costs keep rising, but job prospects don’t improve, eventually higher education won’t be worth it. Pop goes the campus bubble — or so the story goes.

That brings us to one of the more inauspicious recent headlines. For the first time ever, the majority of the unemployed have attended some college. Does this mark some kind of inflection point? Is it time to ditch the classroom for the office? Not exactly. […]

The chart above isn’t a story about a college degree no longer paying off. The chart above is a story about more people going to college, but not nearly as many more people finishing college.
