Excited to make this announcement!! I have been selected for the National Geographic Explorer Exchange program! My American History students will have an AMAZING experience next year! 🇺🇸💛

Senior Night for my #KingBoy1 ♥️⚾
5 weeks until graduation. . .

Do any of my history teacher friends have the ability to gift this article to me, so I can read beyond a paywall?

"The National Museum of African American History and Culture is not a place that traffics in improper ideology," Clint Smith writes. "It is a museum that recognizes that America has been suffused in improper ideologies for most of its history." https://theatln.tc/y3RevJzO

Teaching critical thinking skills is an act of resistance.

You never know what life has in store. . .I am thankful for @lindbladexp.bsky.social , National Geographic, @paleoparadox.bsky.social , Karl Horeis + Kelly Preheim 💛 (and new GTFs I am not allowed to post yet) 😉

I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604 U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at 1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See, e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With more and more of our most significant rulings taking place in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Love you, Gabe! #GTF2020

LOVE you, sister!! 😘

THIS was the highlight of my week!! #doublesisters #HTOY #GTF #IRL

Super excited to hear at NatGeo HQ for the 2025 GTF Workshop as a 2020 alum! Can’t wait to meet this year’s cohort of incredible educators and share what I learned from my expedition to Antarctica! Thanks so much to NatGeo Education and Lindblad Expeditions for your continued support of educators!

Had a couple hours before the workshop welcome reception. So of course I had to check out the National Museum of Natural History! First time seeing it since the renovation! It’s beautiful! 😭

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

A color cartoon from Puck Magazine in 1889 showing a row of huge "fat cat" bankers looming over the Senate. It's titled "Bosses of the Senate."

Been thinking about this cartoon.
For no reason.
Really.
It's from 1889 -- during the Gilded Age.

Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100, his son says The tenacious Southerner was turned out of office after one term. But he had a brilliant post-presidential career as a champion of health, peace and democracy.

Breaking news: Jimmy Carter, a no-frills and steel-willed Southern governor who was elected president in 1976, died Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia, according to his son. He was 100 and the oldest living U.S. president of all time.

Yes.

More than 3,100 students died at schools built to crush Native American cultures The Post’s year-long investigation found that three times as many Native American students had died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 as the U.S. government had previously reported.

Our year-long investigation found that more than 3,100 children died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 and that more than 800 of those students are buried in cemeteries at or near the schools they attended. wapo.st/3DnIr9q

Here’s how we found our evidence.

I need to read this 📚!

So proud of this new #EPF lesson on Philanthropy. We watched #CrashCourse w @clintsmithiii.bsky.social "Tuskegee Syphilis Study," analyzed @npr.org article about Milbank Endowment that 💲 for this historical trauma, and held synchronous Socratic Seminars to discuss 🔥

King Boy #3 was selected for the Arts Guild Festival! 🎨

Stealing this idea!!

I am so sorry to hear this news, Kevin.

Some news! I Maintained my Certification w/ National Board for Professional Teaching Standards! I could not have done this wo the CCHS Class of 2024♥️ who were featured in my videoed lessons. Teaching is the greatest of professions.

I am so very sorry for your loss, sister. 💔

When all my history teacher buddies across 🇺🇸 are in the audience learning from @hcrichardson.bsky.social and they send me pics . . .
This is me. Trying very very hard not to be jealous
