    Well, I'm listening to on the Terri Schiavo case and it all feels eerily like the current moral panic over the 1619 Project and Critical Race Theory.

    It's important when talking about what happened to the 215 Indigenous children to remember to use active terms instead of passive ones. No "children died at residential school." That's a rhetorical sleight of hand to avoid responsibility. Teachers and administrators killed them.

    The January 6th attack was a warning. Today, Republicans block a bi-partisan investigation so they can defend the Big Lie & appease insurrectionists. And they've pushed 400+ anti-voter bills + new laws to subvert elections at the state level. We must defend our democracy. Now.

    The votes against the January 6th commission are admissions of guilt. Only guilty persons hide from the truth.

    Today, we reflect on the life and legacy of Harvey Milk. His leadership was instrumental in boosting the visibility of the gay community across the country. As Milk himself put it, "Rights are won only by those who make their voices heard."

    I 100% agree. I teach mainly white kids and have for the past 7 years. They absolutely want to know the truth.

    White students, like ALL others, *actually* want to know the truth. This bill is about protecting their parents and communities from feelings of guilt. Not the kids. It’s not so-called “Critical Race Theory”. It’s a national disinformation campaign. See MI, MO, IA, and others.

    This is disgusting.

    Morning! ☕️ In the dead of night, the Texas Senate passed a bill that will effectively ban public school teachers from talking about racism, white supremacy or current events. It already passed the House. On its way to be signed into law now.

    Exactly

    20% of our Black students meet reading goals OR our reading program only meets the needs of 20% of our Black students. Which are we choosing? Gholdy Muhammad asks us.

    It's fascinating to revisit the Buckley v Baldwin debate and realize Black Americans are making the same arguments and demands as in 1965 while many conservatives are making similar Buckley-esque denials but in far dumber and openly racist language.

    The UNC decision to deny tenure to Nikole Hannah Jones is obscene. Tenure exists precisely to protect faculty from this kind of politicized decision-making. We need to compare the credentials of people who *did*get tenure this year if a Pulitzer & MacArthur winner did not.
