Friday Open Thread

I think we may all agreed on something (but it won't come true) - could we not hear the name "Kavanaugh" for a least a week?  This issue has been so many things but exhausting comes to mind right now.

For the record, though, I think he's a liar and even if he gets on the Court, his black robe will not hide the stain that got him there.  (I also suspect Chief Justice Roberts will take him aside and tell him, "bully for you doing anything to get on the Court; however, don't try that crap here. Ever.")  Of course, he did say himself that "what goes around comes around."  Says the guy with two daughters who themselves might be faced with such a situation someday.  They sure won't go to dad.

There is some irony here as the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to activists fighting sexual violence.

Following up on the NY Times article I posted earlier about mapping where poor kids live and their outcomes, comes news that the Gates Foundation is funding such a study.

From GeekWire:

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will commit $15 million to get a new initiative called Opportunity Insights off the ground. This week, the organization, in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, published comprehensive nationwide data and maps that predict the likelihood that kids will escape poverty based on where they live.

The Seattle Housing Authority is conducting a pilot study, showing housing voucher recipients which neighborhoods offer better opportunities for children and assisting them in moving to those areas.

The Board passed a resolution on Wednesday to support Initiative 1639 for stronger gun control laws.  It passed unanimously.

Boundary shifts for Maple Elementary and Van Asselt Elementary are causing some unhappiness for some parents.  There was a district meeting on Monday about this issue.  Here are the (excellent) notes taken by parent, Matt Pearsall.
