Teacher Tutors

Texas teachers have a new set of tools for handling classroom disruptions this school year, thanks to a sweeping discipline law that took effect for 2025-26. House Bill 6, passed by the 89th Texas Legislature, lowers the bar for removing a disruptive student from class: teachers can now request removal after a single incident of unruly, disruptive, or abusive behavior, or bullying, instead of waiting for a pattern of repeated interference as under the old law.

Once a student is removed, families must be notified, and a conference is held within three school days to work out a plan before the student can return to that classroom. The bill also expands schools' ability to use in-school and out-of-school suspension, and creates a new virtual education program for students removed from the regular classroom setting.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🍎

Today is a chance to celebrate the educators who plan, adapt, encourage, reteach, listen, notice, and keep showing up for students every day.

So much of teaching happens in moments that never make it onto a lesson plan, but those moments matter just as much.

To every teacher making a difference in ways both big and small, thank you. ❤️

Mariska Hargitay, best known for playing Olivia Benson on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, has spoken out against Cornell University over its handling of a gang-r*pe lawsuit involving seven fraternity members.

The case centers on a former Cornell student, identified as Jane Doe, who alleges that seven members of the Chi Pi fraternity dr*gged and gang-r*ped her in October 2024 after a member allegedly told the fraternity’s Snapchat group a woman was available for s*x.

According to the lawsuit, Cornell’s investigation resulted in only two of the seven accused students being expelled, while others faced lesser consequences including suspensions, workshops and essay assignments.

Hargitay, who founded the Joyful Heart Foundation to support survivors of s*xual ass*ult, posted a shared statement on Instagram reading, “We refuse for this victim to be reduced to just another story. Cornell has failed to protect its students.”

She followed with a series of Instagram Stories condemning both the accused men and the bystanders who knew what was happening.

“Dear men and boys. If your friends tell you they’re gang r*ping someone, call the f*cking police,” one post read.

Another directly addressed the scale of the silence around the alleged ass*ult: “57 men were in that fraternity group chat. 57. Not one of them stopped it.”

Hargitay also wrote, “Yes, I think we should ruin the futures of adult men who drug and gang r*pe a woman. Thanks for asking.”

Other celebrities, including Hudson Williams and Josh Gad, have joined in criticizing Cornell’s response. Williams wrote on Instagram, “Arrest them,” alongside a photo of the seven accused men, adding, “F*ck them and f*ck Cornell, too!”

Cornell has not publicly responded to Hargitay’s comments.
