Contrary to what we reported last week, the Legislature did appropriate money for the technical education centers proposed by Sen. Rich Wardner. They stripped the bonding bill of the proposed $60 million and passed $70 million for the centers in general appropriations. (And lost me in the process.)
If effectively administered, the technical education centers will mean a new day for thousands of North Dakotans – young people not interested in 4-year college degrees, workers whose jobs disappeared in COVID, convicts hoping for a new start, and older-than-average students who want to join the new economy.

Medieval Millennials
When does a boy become a man? Medieval millennials were just as hard to define as those of today.
We have a tendency to associate youth culture with modernity, but medieval people were as anxious about youths as are today’s headline writers worrying about the rise of the ‘millennial’. As the poet John Lydgate (c.1370-c.1451) warned: ‘O lusty gallants in your adolescence, / . When you are stirred to wanton insolence, / Restrain yourselves.’ We might also assume that extending youth beyond the teenage years is a luxury of a modern society, where life expectancy stretches into the eighties. But even in the late Middle Ages, when life expectancy was considerably lower, youth was a flexible category that could expand well into the late twenties and even thirties. So what were the defining characteristics of ‘medieval millennials’ and when did they stop being youths and start being adults?
