• Why Utah’s new Teacher of the Year wants his students of color to play chess

  02-10-2020 22:14
  
  When John Arthur brings his students to the state’s annual chess competition, he can guess how they’ll react. They don’t “oh” and “ah” over the fancy chess boards with glass pieces. And they’re not focused on how big or cool the convention space is.Instead, they look around at the other students and one of them will say something like: “We’re the only brown kids here.” And they’re often right, Arthur said. It’s part of

  It’s a measure of the cynicism that has infected American politics — and, yes, me — that among my initial reactions to the news that President Donald Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus was: Are we sure? Can we trust that? A man who so frequently and flamboyantly plays the victim, and who has been prophylactically compiling ways to explain away or dispute a projected election loss to Joe Biden, is now being forced off the campaign trail, which will be a monster of an
