Quote from the article. “In a society that has become increasingly isolated, transactional and angry, community colleges embody respect for everyone on a daily basis. They assume that talent comes in every flavor and that everyone deserves a chance. They operate on shoestrings, but they provide lifelines. I missed that. And I’m thankful to be a part of it. We’ve always had students to teach. Now we have an entire culture to teach by example.”

On Saturday, Julia Terruso of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that a woman in a Philadelphia suburb received a letter that looked like an official document from the fake “Pennsylvania Congressional Office of Immigration Affairs” telling her that she was expected to provide living space to five migrants under a program “written into Law by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.” As Terruso wrote, “No office exists, nor does such a government-mandated housing program, but the letter, doctored to look like an official government document, provided specific details designed to mislead someone less attuned to a scam—and laid the blame for the fake program at the feet of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during a heated and close election in which immigration has increasingly become a focal point.”
