The vast majority of states across the U.S. now allow some form of high school NIL. Mississippi is among the four that have thus far prohibited the practice.
Mississippi is currently not among the growing number of states that allow high school student-athletes to accept Name, Image and Likeness, or NIL, money or benefits. That could change if legislation filed by State Rep. Jeffery Harness (D) is signed into law.

It is not the first time such legislation has been filed in the Legislature. Similar bills have been proposed and allowed to die for well over a decade.
State Rep. Jansen Owen (R) says the Mississippi Department of Education reports that nearly half of the school boards across the Magnolia State are either fully or partially appointed by city councils or county supervisors. He has filed legislation to make all public school board members elected.

Two of the mainstays of our country's legal system are that we are a country of laws, and that no person is above the law.
As a country of laws, we cannot park our cars in the middle of the road or drive at 100 mph. We follow, or we should follow, the ten commandments that state our limits in society. Without these laws our country would be in chaos. The second characteristic is that no individual is above the law. This applies equally to billionaires and paupers, to all races and ethnicities, to young and old, to everyone.

On the first day of the 2026 session, the Mississippi Senate took a strong position against public school vouchers. “Vouchers are not on the table in the Senate,” Mississippi Today reported Education Committee Chairman Sen. Dennis DeBar, Jr., as saying. Later that day the full Senate easily passed two education bills locking in that position.
Will the Senate be able to stick to it?

Years ago while on a business trip to Europe, I visited Versailles, the storied palace monument to French King Louis XIV. It is magnificent, filled with excess of a former age, over the top but un-tacky.

Tom Lehrer’s “National Brotherhood Week” on “That Was The Week That Was” — TW3 —notes, in the introduction, that “During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood — this year, for example, on the first day of the week, Malcolm X was killed, which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is,” before specifying at the outset of a couple of verses,
“Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks;
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule

As we kick off 2026, the Mississippi Center for Public Policy is more energized than ever. We are excited about the successes our state has seen – and we have a plan to build on that momentum with further free market reform!
For decades, our state lagged behind. Growth was slow and too many young people left our state to seek opportunities elsewhere. That is starting to change.
Over the past five years, Mississippi has seen more economic growth than in the previous 15 combined.
