How a young Chinatown cook helped establish birthright citizenship in the US Wong Kim Ark’s fight to be recognized as a US citizen 127 years ago led to an expansion of the 14th amendment

I taught this historical fact in my social studies methods course to inform more Asian American history, which most students never learned. However, now the case gets attention in the media due to Trump's executive order.

For the evening crowd: I put words to my nagging concerns, which last semester became fully realized fears, about how students use generative AI - despite the very real harms that generative AI has caused and continues to cause.

We have a lot to think about as we write our syllabi.
