AMERICANALMANAC (Jonah Adams) - New York homeschooling surges 200% as parents flee a public school system that spends $37,000 per student — and still can't teach reading
More than 53,000 New York children are now homeschooled, triple the number from 15 years ago, as parents abandon a public system where most students in hundreds of schools can't pass basic math or reading exams.

More than 53,000 New York children are now homeschooled, triple the number from 15 years ago, as parents abandon a public system where most students in hundreds of schools can't pass basic math or reading exams. New York State recorded 53,905 homeschooled children in the 2025, 2026 school year, a figure that has more than tripled since 2009, 2010 and represents what state data show is the fastest-growing school sector in New York. In New York City alone, more than 14,000 children now learn at kitchen tables, in museums, and in parks instead of public school classrooms. Since 2023, homeschooling statewide has climbed nearly 8%, more than double the 3.1% growth rate for charter schools over the same period, the New York Post reported . The…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Uganda pulls out of Invictus Games after military chief sides with King Charles over the Sussexes
Uganda's top military commander withdrew his country from Prince Harry's Invictus Games, declaring he would not back anything lacking King Charles III's approval, a pointed rebuke that landed days after the King formally downgraded Harry and Meghan to the status of private citizens.

Uganda's top military commander withdrew his country from Prince Harry's Invictus Games, declaring he would not back anything lacking King Charles III's approval, a pointed rebuke that landed days after the King formally downgraded Harry and Meghan to the status of private citizens. General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda's military chief and the son of the country's president, announced the withdrawal on X in blunt terms. He framed the decision as a matter of loyalty to the British crown, not to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whose public break with Buckingham Palace has now cost the international veterans' competition one of its newest member nations. The move is a direct consequence of the widening rift between Harry and the royal…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - SBA chief Loeffler rips Mamdani's city-owned grocery plan as a threat to New York's small businesses
Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler is warning that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's $70 million plan to open government-run grocery stores will crush the very immigrant-owned bodegas and shops the city claims to support. Loeffler took the fight public Tuesday on Newsmax's "National Report," calling Mamdani's agenda a textbook case of socialist economics […] The post SBA chief Loeffler rips Mamdani's city-owned grocery plan as a threat to New York's small businesses appeared first on American Almanac .
Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler is warning that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's $70 million plan to open government-run grocery stores will crush the very immigrant-owned bodegas and shops the city claims to support. Loeffler took the fight public Tuesday on Newsmax's "National Report," calling Mamdani's agenda a textbook case of socialist economics punishing the people it pretends to help. The SBA chief had just returned from a visit to Queens, where she stood shoulder-to-shoulder with bodega owners who say the mayor's plan amounts to a taxpayer-funded competitor they cannot beat. At issue is a city initiative to build five municipal grocery stores, one in each borough, using $70 million in public funds.…Open

Two masked thieves cut through fencing and sliced paintings from their frames at a Renoir museum on the French Riviera, escaping with two works still valued at millions, the latest in a pattern of brazen art heists across France. The alarm at the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer, a coastal town near Nice in southern France, sounded at 5:48 a.m. on a Tuesday morning. Municipal police reached the scene five minutes later, at 5:53 a.m. By then, the thieves had already cut through wire fencing around the grounds, entered the museum, and removed four paintings from their frames using an electric knife and a metal saw. Surveillance cameras captured two hooded figures fleeing across the property, and dropping stolen artwork as they ran. Two of…Open

Stephen Junker, a 58-year-old Minnesota pastor and father of five, died weeks after being found face down in a cruise ship pool off the coast of Italy, a trip meant to celebrate his son's wedding. Junker was pulled from a pool aboard the Sun Princess cruise ship in mid-August, unresponsive and suffering from a spinal cord injury. The Italian coast guard airlifted him to a hospital in Naples, where surgeons performed emergency spinal cord surgery. The operation could not reverse the damage. Junker was left quadriplegic and unable to breathe without a ventilator. On August 23, he was transferred to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, for further treatment. But additional diagnostic testing delivered the worst possible news. His daughter…Open

Hosts of The View drew sharp backlash on social media after a heated on-air debate over whether Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother whose murder trial ended in a mistrial, deserves punishment for strangling her three children. Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Sunny Hostin devoted a Tuesday morning segment to the Clancy case, days after a six-week trial collapsed when a deadlocked jury could not reach a unanimous verdict. The segment split the panel between sympathy for Clancy and insistence on accountability, and it split their audience even more sharply, with viewers on both sides flooding the social media platform X to accuse the hosts of ignorance, excuse-making, or prejudging a woman who has not been convicted.
