A Wisconsin mother is considering legal action against the Green Bay Area Public School District, alleging her son, who has dyslexia, was denied adequate reading support due to a policy that prioritizes assistance based on race.

Fox News: SCOTUS hears arguments in case that could reshape environmental law
The Supreme Court is considering a case that could redefine the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and impact an oil railway project in Utah. The case centers on whether federal agencies must evaluate environmental effects beyond their immediate regulatory authority.
The D.C. Circuit Court previously ruled that the Surface Transportation Board did not adequately assess environmental impacts, prompting the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition to appeal to the Supreme Court. Justices appeared divided on the necessity of a more comprehensive review, with some suggesting that limiting NEPA's scope could streamline decision-making.
