Another gem from the

@PedroPans

archive

@BarryUniversity

. Walsh wrote about that lightning trip, and there was follow-up from Archbishop Perez Serantes. Could tell it made an impact on Walsh considering all that had happened by then (1963). Gracias,

How many former Operation Pedro Pan kids know that Monsignor Walsh and Miami’s catholic bishop traveled to Havana in 1963? Would they approve? Another fascinating detail I’d love to know more about in @Professor_G_T’s “Operation Pedro Pan.”

’s latest. Never knew this. (I gather he was in the CRP post briefly.—a matter of weeks. But still, that’s quite some baggage to bring to it.)

When did we stop trusting our teachers? You wouldn’t go to a doctor and ask for medical care from the 1980s. Pedagogy, too, has evolved and changed. Different books, framings, heroes and villains.

We are in a new era of Thomas Bowdler, the physician that censured Shakespeare's work to make it "proper" for families, from whom we get the term "bowdlerize." Word for today? "DeSantisize" (sort of like sanitize + desensitize) or another term?

I am astonished at how many of my students, especially young men, have received these kinds of emails and texts. It's invasive and predatory.

Putin, Trump, Ukraine: how Timothy Snyder became the leading interpreter of our dark times

The long read: Historians aren’t supposed to make predictions, but Yale professor Timothy Snyder has become known for his dire warnings – and many of them have been proved correct
