Nick Shirley SUES California Over ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’
https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/09/04/nick-shirley-sues-california/ (https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/09/04/nick-shirley-sues-california/)
Nick Shirley announced today on X that he is suing the state of California over the controversial bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom that critics have dubbed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.”
AB 2624 restricts the publication of certain identifying information about workers at organizations that provide immigration-related services when a worker submits a written request that the information not be published.
Critics of the law, including Shirley, argue the restrictions could interfere with journalists and others investigating those organizations.
The law arrogates to the State of California the rights to determine: 1. Who is a "real" journalist; 2. What "real" journalists are allowed to investigate and on what they can report. Had Trump tried something like this in 2017 tom squash the Trump-Russia Collusion Delusion, journalists, Dems, and Rs would have roared in protest, rightfully.

Success Academy Sues New York State For Suppressing AP Test Scores
https://freebeacon.com/education/success-academy-sues-new-york-state-for-suppressing-ap-test-scores/ (https://freebeacon.com/education/success-academy-sues-new-york-state-for-suppressing-ap-test-scores/)
The Success Academy charter school network is suing the New York education commissioner, Betty Rosa, accusing her of blocking the release of AP test score results as part of what the lawsuit calls "a government-created information blockade."
The suit says Rosa, at the behest of the teachers' union, blocked the College Board from releasing AP test data to U.S. News & World Report for use in its high school rankings. That effectively impeded Success's ability to communicate—a violation of First Amendment free expression rights, the suit says.
"Fewer than 25 percent of high school students nationally pass at least one AP examination by the time they graduate. By contrast, 95 percent of Success Academy's 2026 graduating class passed three or more AP examinations, 79 percent passed five or more, and 60 percent passed seven or more," the lawsuit says. "Those results are among the most objective and compelling evidence of the rigor of Success Academy's high-school program and of its students' readiness for college."
"Success Academy therefore wants those results known. It wants them known to families of prospective students who are seeking a rigorous education for their children; to the colleges and universities to which Success Academy's students are applying; and to journalists, educators, policymakers, philanthropists, and the public," the lawsuit says. "Success Academy particularly wants these results known to U.S. News & World Report ('U.S. News'), which publishes one of the country's most widely disseminated high-school rankings."
Educrats hiding PS mediocrity and obscuring private schools' successes - probably a Race Card Play - using state regulatory power.
