Le Monde: Common sense in politics: A powerful yet paradoxical democratic tool
The concept of "common sense" has historically supported the rise of liberal democracies but is now being exploited by far-right politicians to undermine democratic principles. Figures like Donald Trump have framed their policies as rooted in common sense, appealing to broad, often vague notions of security and education.
This rhetorical strategy is not unique to Trump; it has been utilized by populist leaders across the political spectrum, particularly on the right. Recent gatherings, such as the National Conservatism Conference in Brussels, have seen far-right leaders claim that progressive policies contradict traditional values, further entrenching the idea of common sense in political discourse.

Front Page Magazine: Still Stupid in America
Public education in the U.S. continues to struggle, with recent assessments showing a significant decline in math scores among 4th and 8th graders. The 2023 TIMSS results indicate that U.S. students rank poorly compared to peers in other countries, reflecting a long-standing issue with the education system.
Despite substantial funding, educational outcomes remain dismal, with many students lacking proficiency in core subjects. Experts suggest that parents should explore alternatives like charter schools or homeschooling to improve their children's education, as government-run schools, influenced by unions, often fail to deliver quality education.
