Colleges are using AI name readers to announce students' names during graduation ceremonies. Students scan their phones like they're in a checkout line before an AI voice reads their names. PACE University was seen using the technology during its commencement ceremony. "Our names are getting read by AI at graduation ... getting the ick at my own graduation," said one student. "It is AI. We were directly told so! We gave a website spelling and it instantly gave us an audio," said the student. "PACE told us it was AI ... We had to type out phonetic spelling, then it instantly generated audio for us to preview."

Here's why 🇮🇱 is a great nation The director of Al Jazeera Palestine asked the Israel Defense Forces for an extra 10 minutes so his journalists who were outside could go back into the Al Jazeera building and get their cameras and other gear. But the IDF officer refused to give any extra time and destroyed the Al Jazeera Building in minutes. The punishment was for broadcasting fake news about Israel. Now all the other media channels are careful about the news they are showing about Israel. Hats off to Israel for their no nonsense attitude when it comes to national security, their confidence, their ability to attack with early warning, their technology and the accuracy of their weapons.

#Ethiopia: University students to teach for one year before graduation as part of new initiative, education minister says University students will be required to teach for one year before graduation as part of a new initiative, Education Minister Birhanu Nega (PhD) has announced. "A program named 'Ethiopian University Service' has been prepared," he said, adding that it will allow students to "serve the community in their field of study before graduation."

He explained that students "will be paid for their basic expenses and required to teach for one year" before entering their fourth year. Watch!

Gen. Kimmitt and I spoke to Al Jazeera English about the rift between the US and Israel. I argued that this is not a blip and that it has the potential to amount to a full paradigm shift in that relationship. The US is reminding Israel who is actually the superpower in this equation.

Madison Preparatory Academy is a public charter high school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Recent data shows about 37% of students proficient in reading and 27% in math, so basically 65% can’t read. Their graduation rate is indeed around 95%, which they celebrate. It’s a mostly Black, low-income school The gap between test scores and graduation rate isn’t unique to them, it happens when schools prioritize passing students along over strict academic standards. Who exactly is benefiting from this? The Principal and teachers are getting paid for what?

“When the moment comes to choose between comfort and conscience, choose conscience.” Pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil delivered a speech to Stanford graduates at a "People's Commencement" Sunday after their mass walkout during graduation. The graduates' walkout occurred during Google CEO Sundar Pichai's commencement speech, as a protest against the tech company's contracts with the IDF, CBP, and ICE. Khalil, who was detained last year by ICE for over three months for his role as lead negotiator at Columbia University's Gaza Solidarity Encampments, urged the students to keep building the movement for Palestine, assuring them, "History remembers those who speak up." This year marked the third People’s Commencement at Stanford, organized by students and activist groups.
