Most of us who went to school in the United States have been threatened with detention for minor infractions like uttering a curse word or showing up to class five minutes late. But in Illinois, such behavior was landing students in more serious trouble. Since a recent state law prohibited school administrators in Illinois from fining students for infractions, those same administrators turned to the police to handle disciplinary actions. A recent investigation by ProPublica found that local police in Illinois were issuing ticketed citations to thousands of middle school and high school students each year. Kids caught fighting, vaping, skipping class, or even “causing a disturbance”—a sketchily defined catch-all—were facing tickets with fines of up to $500, putting financial strain on the their families, causing them to miss school to attend hearings, and adding to the normal stresses of school life. One case, involving a student who was accused of stealing a pair of AirPods, recently went to a jury trial as the student tried to clear her name. This week on Gadget Lab, ProPublica reporters Jodi S. Cohen and Jennifer Smith Richards join the show to talk about their in-depth reporting of the case of the missing AirPods and how police overreach has affected students in Illinois. Show Notes: Read Jodi and Jennifer's ProPublica story about the missing AirPods and follow all of their reporting about how police cite students in Illinois. Recommendations: Jennifer recommends putting up a hammock in your backyard. Jodi recommends the Scrub Daddy sponge. Mike recommends the Longreads Top 5 newsletter.

Join Dr. Carol François and Kourtney Square, the aunt and niece duo, for Episode 3 of Why Are they So Angry?, a look at systemic racism in education. Educating the general populace is a cornerstone of American society providing the foundation for an informed and knowledgeable electorate. For over 400 years, however, Black/African Americans have endured poor, inadequate, and substandard education. In this episode, you'll hear about the heroic battle Dr. George McLaurin waged to integrate Oklahoma University and how that battle ended. You'll also hear how some of the same inadequacies in public education from the Jim Crow era are still in various forms of existence in education today and how those inadequacies impede upward mobility for Black/African Americans.
