Sleepy Students
I remember when I was in high school, people would talk about how school should start later, and that research said we would be healthier and smarter if it did. Of course, nothing changed, and now research is once again saying the same things: teenagers get better grades when school starts later.

"She's Someone's Daughter"
You know how male politicians always talk about how they aren't sexist because they have daughters? Well, looks like men who have school-aged daughters are less sexist than their counterparts. Something about seeing the girl's lives up close teaches them that their stereotypes may not be true. This is both kinda nice and incredibly frustrating.

Twitter Hate
A study of Twitter abuse by Amnesty International found that women of colour are 34% more likely to receive abusive tweets, with black women specifically getting a whopping 84% more hate.
