These days, we take public education for granted, with schools across the country offering free or close to no-cost education from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade. What you might not realize is just how new public education is, its unusual origins, and how America approached education uniquely.

The Origins of Public Education in America

The story of public education in America started during the colonial period with the establishment of the Boston Latin School in 1635 in Massachusetts. This boys’ secondary school, whose students included John Hancock and Samuel Adams, emphasized Latin and Greek to prepare students for colleges like Harvard. The focus on Latin came from a law in the Massachusetts Bay Colony that towns with 100 families must have Latin schools, a product of the Puritan wish to enable children to read the Calvinist Bible.

Education in the other colonies varied: the middle colonies used church-supported education, and the southern colonies, with their low population densities, often used homeschooling or tutors.

After the American Revolution, a demand for a typically American education system independent of British influences took hold. During the 1830s, Horace Mann, the first secretary of education in Massachusetts, crusaded for free, tax-supported “common schools” that shifted their emphasis from theology to the “three R’s”: reading, writing, and arithmetic. It established the basis for current public education.

To provide teachers for these schools, the first normal school to…

Despite all the rain we have been getting recently, summer just unofficially began in New York City with Memorial Day. The days are getting longer and warmer, our beaches are open, and, for the first time in the city’s recorded history, there were no shootings on the Sunday before Memorial Day — further proof that our administration’s approach to keeping New York City the safest big city in America is working. Last week, we kicked off the “We Outside Summer,” a series of investments, announcements, and programming across the five boroughs to ensure New Yorkers have a safe and fun summer in our parks, playgrounds, and everywhere else outdoors. We’ll continue to roll out announcements throughout the summer, but here’s some of what we announced this past week as we continue to make New York City the best place to raise a family.

We know that as the weather warms, New Yorkers are eager for more outdoor space. But for too many families, green space is out of reach and too far from their neighborhoods and communities. This is exactly why we kicked off work last week to transform vacant, abandoned lots into parks…

In the digital age, online promotions have become a cornerstone of marketing strategy. From giveaways and sweepstakes to flash sales and influencer collaborations, brands are continually finding innovative ways to promote themselves and reach new audiences. These efforts span a wide range of industries, each adopting strategies tailored to their unique audiences and regulations.

Many brands are featured in reliable guides tailored to niche sectors, helping them connect with targeted demographics more effectively. For example, in the online gaming space, promotions such as a free SC no deposit bonus from a casino like Stake.us, which offers $25, 250,000 gold coins, and Rakeback, demonstrate how platforms can creatively engage users through value-added incentives. (Source: https://thegamehaus.com/igaming/sweepstakes/promo-codes/free-sc-coins/ )

As these promotional approaches evolve, so too does the importance of understanding the frameworks that guide their execution. Being informed about the legal landscape ensures that campaigns not only perform well but also align with best practices in digital marketing.

What Are Online Promotions and Why Do Legalities Matter?

Online promotions refer to a variety of digital marketing techniques aimed at attracting customer engagement. These can include contests, giveaways, referral bonuses, limited-time offers, and more. While these tools can effectively increase traffic and brand awareness, they also come with a set of legal responsibilities that vary by country and even state.

Ignoring the legal requirements, such as those related to consent, disclosure, and eligibility, can lead to unintended consequences. For example, a seemingly harmless Instagram contest might violate consumer protection laws if it lacks a clear disclaimer or misrepresents the prize. Therefore, understanding the regulations is not just a legal formality; it is a business imperative.

Moreover, the legal terrain is…

The American League Central has emerged as one of baseball’s most competitive divisions in 2025, with four teams separated by just 8.5 games as of early June. The Kansas City Royals find themselves in fourth place with a 34-32 record, trailing the division-leading Detroit Tigers by 8.5 games.

While this positioning might suggest disappointment, the Royals remain firmly in the wild card conversation, sitting just 1.5 games out of a playoff spot.

Their season represents a complex mix of pitching excellence and offensive struggles that defines their competitiveness within a surprisingly deep division.

Current Division Landscape

The AL Central standings reveal a division where three teams hover around .500 while the Tigers have separated themselves as the clear frontrunner. Detroit’s 44-25 record (.638 winning percentage) represents the best mark in the division by a significant margin.

The Twins, Guardians, and Royals occupy the middle tier with remarkably similar records, each posting win percentages between .516 and .540. Meanwhile, the White Sox continue their historically poor campaign with a 21-43 record, on pace for another disastrous season following their 121-loss 2024 campaign.

This four-team race for playoff positioning has created an environment where every series carries significant implications for postseason hopes.

Offensive Production Comparison

Kansas City’s offensive struggles represent their most significant challenge in 2025, as they rank fourth in the division with just 3.41 runs per…
