Massachusetts Parents Favor Cellphone Ban in Schools
The Boston Globe reports that a significant majority of Massachusetts parents—66 percent—would support a ban on cellphones and smartwatches during the school day, reflecting growing concerns about digital distractions and their impact on academic outcomes and student mental health. The poll, conducted by the MassINC Polling Group and sponsored by the Education Trust, surveyed nearly 900 parents of students in grades six through 12 and comes as state leaders debate legislative action. Advocates argue that restricting device use could improve focus and learning, echoing broader national debates over technology's place in the classroom.

Boston University Offers Early Retirement to Tenured Professors
Facing mounting financial pressures, Boston University has extended voluntary early retirement offers to eligible tenured professors in a bid to manage its budget, according to the Boston Globe. The offer, which includes a year’s salary and six months of benefits, is available to professors whose combined age and years of experience equal 85 or more, as well as those who joined BU from Wheelock College prior to its 2018 merger. While participation is voluntary, the move highlights the financial strains facing higher education institutions and raises questions about faculty composition and the future of academic tenure.

CDC Panel Ends Universal Hepatitis B Vaccine Recommendation for Newborns
A major shift in U.S. vaccine policy has occurred as the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to end the longstanding recommendation that all newborns receive a hepatitis B vaccine at birth. The Guardian highlights that this move, led by a panel appointed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., mirrors a broader trend of skepticism toward universal vaccine mandates under the current administration. The New York Times and Boston Globe note strong criticism from public health experts, who warn that limiting the vaccine to newborns of mothers who test positive for hepatitis B reverses decades of progress in preventing liver disease and may leave vulnerable infants unprotected.

Supreme Court to Decide Fate of Birthright Citizenship
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review President Donald Trump’s controversial order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. USA Today, France24, and the Boston Globe emphasize that the case, which challenges a foundational interpretation of the 14th Amendment, could have far-reaching implications for immigration policy and constitutional law. The policy has been blocked by lower courts, but the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the case signals a potential shift in the legal landscape regarding citizenship rights.

Gerrymandering Intensifies Ahead of U.S. Elections
According to the Boston Globe, both Republican and Democratic parties are accelerating efforts to redraw congressional districts in several U.S. states, responding to President Trump’s call to reshape the political map ahead of the next elections. The GOP’s current advantage from these efforts is three additional seats, but litigation in multiple states means the final impact remains uncertain. This wave of mid-decade redistricting underscores high-stakes maneuvering for control of the House and the potential to influence national policy directions.

Rhode Island Launches First-Time Homeownership Program
Rhode Island has introduced “RI AnchorHome,” a new pilot program aimed at expanding access to affordable, sustainable mortgage options for first-time buyers, reports the Boston Globe. The initiative, announced by State Treasurer James A. Diossa, offers qualifying families 30-year fixed-rate mortgages at 3.99 percent, addressing a housing market marked by record-high prices. While not a comprehensive solution to the state’s housing crisis, the program is seen as an important step toward stabilizing neighborhoods and promoting equitable economic opportunity.

Church Nativity Scene Protests Family Separation Policies
A Chicago-area church has created a provocative Nativity scene featuring baby Jesus in zip ties and Mary and Joseph in gas masks to protest U.S. immigration enforcement practices, according to USA Today. The display, meant to highlight the experiences of migrant families and children affected by federal raids and detentions, uses strong symbolism to critique recent government crackdowns. Organizers say the installation is intentionally direct to reflect the severity of family separations and the broader humanitarian debate surrounding U.S. immigration policy.
