Zo Ahmed at TechSpot Wrote:Michigan has passed a new law requiring all public high schools to offer at least one computer science course starting in 2027, a way of boosting tech skills and preparing the future workforce. It essentially guarantees all students in the state will soon have access to at least some computer science education before graduating.
The bipartisan bill, signed into law last week by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, aims to increase technological literacy across the state. […] The new law defines computer science broadly as the study of computational principles, hardware, software, and their societal impacts – with a focus on creating new technologies rather than just using them.

I just need this qualification so that l can get some opportunities l feel l am missing out on. What courses can l take using Sophia and which university best suits me? I will truly appreciate some direction.

Is there anyway to get your Credly Badge / ACE credits on Coursera besides waiting on them? I completed a certification 6 days ago, and still nothing, and support is not very helpful there.
After this experience they're making me nervous. I'm not sure if I'd trust them again for anything needing ACE credits.

| Air Force Cancels Then Uncancels Training About Tuskegee Airmen & WASPs |

Sig Christenson in the San Antonio Express-News Wrote:A video describing the exploits of the groundbreaking African American airmen [the Tuskegee Airmen], who flew combat sorties during World War II, has been removed from the instructional curriculum for new recruits at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the hub of Air Force basic training.
Trump, in his inaugural address on Monday, vowed to "end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life." The same day, he signed an executive order dismantling federal DEI programs. On Tuesday, the new administration placed DEI officials on leave and ordered agencies to spike postings or advertisements promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.
The effects were felt almost immediately at Lackland. A memo circulated among Air Force personnel said that "in accordance with NEW DEIA Guidance," portions of the basic training curriculum were being revised "immediately." DEIA stands for diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.
The memo said a video on the Tuskegee Airmen, a second video titled "Breaking Barriers" and a third about the Women Airforce Service Pilots [WASPs] who supported the war effort during World War II had been excised from a course on "airmindedness."
A video on diversity was stripped from a separate human relations course, the memo said.
Obeying Trump order, Air Force will stop teaching recruits about Tuskegee Airmen: A video on the pioneering Black pilots, famed for their World War II exploits, was stripped from an Air Force basic training curriculum at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland (Sig Christenson, San Antonio Express-News, updated January 25, 2025)
American greatness was right there. This administration cancelled it.
[Update: The Tuskegee Airmen and WASP videos were restored to the training per the news story on page two of this thread.]
