Social Studies teachers will rent the cabin next door! This is a fabulous idea! :)

I have nothing to add except I am feeling this with you. Sending you much love.

Me too!

Look what we have here then.

Repertorio, now a junior (who transferred after SB1 passed to another school out of OH) said, "I’m not going to be able to learn the things I want to learn when I’m paying for my degree. But also, why would I contribute to an economy in a state that doesn’t care about me? Why am I here?”

Today we honor the Black children killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing a cruel act of racist terror. Their loss fuels our fight for justice and peace. Say their names: Addie Mae, Denise, Carole, Cynthia, Virgil Ware, and Johnny. We must never forget.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

Yeah--hard pass on more "Joe Manchins and Kyrsten Sinemas", thx

The Enlightenment Didn’t Cause the Haitian Revolution Enslaved Africans in Saint-Domingue had many reasons to revolt... the Enlightenment wasn't one of them

New post!
Too often students assume enslaved Africans revolted on Saint-Domingue because they were inspired by the Enlightenment or the other Atlantic Revolutions. They didn't.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

I’m a High Schooler. AI Is Demolishing My Education. The end of critical thinking in the classroom

“AI has softened the consequences of procrastination and led many students to avoid doing any work at all. As a consequence, these programs have destroyed much of what tied us together as students.“
The increasing disconnection between students is indeed jarring. They barely talk to each other!

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announces end of 'all' vaccine mandates Officials announced the establishment of the Florida Make America Healthy Again commission Wednesday, with a major announcement that includes the end of vaccine mandates in the state.

Most of my family lives in Florida. When they ask whether I'd ever move back, I often say its not safe for kids (citing shool shootings and LGBTQ policies). Can add one more bullet point to the list. flvoicenews.com/florida-gene...

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Things I think about as a historian: It is hella weird to name a college mascot after the losing side of the Civil War

Just watched a disgusting commercial for joining ICE and many a middle finger were thrown toward the television

This feels like an exceptionally heavy moment to teach U.S. History--more weight than, honestly, I've felt in 27 years--but I wake up with a fire in my belly to do this job right. And then collapse into bed and wonder if anything I do matters. But keeping a little hope alive that it does.

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

You know how bad slavery was?

No, you don’t. It’s worse than words can ever explain and worse than you or I could ever imagine.

Full stop.

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.

The gradual inclusion of truth about the experience of slavery in American museums has been one of the most deeply researched and considered and consequential developments in public history over the last half century. Enraging we have to defend it in this way.
