Henry VIII, king of England from 1509 to 1547, or you and me going to Burger King with $10 in our pockets? \"The Burger King Whopper is actually a combination of foods from different parts of the world that wouldn't have come together for most of human history,\" says historian (and Reason contributor) Katrina Gulliver. And Henry VIII \"would never have seen a potato\" either, without which a delicious side of fries would be impossible.

THE KKK'S PUSH FOR A FEDERAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

\"THE GREATEST DUTY of America today is to build up our educational system.\" That sentiment probably seems anodyne, like something you might have heard on the campaign trail in the recently concluded midterms. A century ago, it represented the top priority of the Ku Klux Klan.

SCHOOL CLOSURES CAUSED LEARNING LOSS

TESTS MEASURING THE academic performance of American schoolchildren consistently show dramatic declines in scores between the years directly before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. While the full scope of learning loss is not yet known, the data indicate that many children entered the 2021 school year with unprecedented education gaps that were likely exacerbated by widespread school shutdowns.

DRUGS: A WIN FOR PHARMACOLOGICAL FREEDOM IN COLORADO

A DECADE AGO, Colorado became the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational use, something 20 other states have done since then.

Jennifer Sey Keeps Getting Canceled for Speaking Up

In 2008, Jennifer Sey was subjected to a vicious backlash after the 1986 USA Gymnastics national champion released Chalked Up, the first memoir published about rampant abuse in the sport. Her new book, Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job but Gave Me My Voice, feels like a continuation of that story, detailing Sey's ouster from the jeans juggernaut-where she was set to become its first female CEO-after she again ruffled feathers earlier this year. This time she wasn't speaking out against abuse in sports; she was speaking out against COVID-19 school closures.
