This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

“Professors are the enemy”

Reading this made me sick. This language is straight out of Stalin’s USSR. What’s next, am I being sent to a Gulag to be reprogrammed? And if I’m the enemy for teaching my students to critically think and teach all children to read, whose profession is next? Yours?

Sign the Petition Insist Pine Richland’s School Board to Respect Librarians' Expertise in Book Selection

Hello folks, please consider signing this petition started by students in Pine Richland School District. The proposed library book adoption policy, driven by the extremist board majority, removes book selection from librarians and gives that power to the board.

As a Penn State BB parent, I am appalled that you put SMU’s band in the upper deck and that Pitt’s band is not allowed to perform at halftime of their bowl game. These college students work hard and are a huge part of college football. #shameonyou #dobetter

Sat with a Danish child psychiatrist today who made the observation that going to American schools with the fear of shootings is a constant psychological strain on our children, even if we don’t feel it day to day.

It is the constant worry.
The constant what if.
The constant wonder.

I am a literacy professor in Pittsburgh and former school board member who is fighting right wring extremist book policies in my local district (even thought my kids graduated) because I believe in children's right to read diverse books!

I live in Pittsburgh. No way I want to go back to the "good old days" when you couldn't seen the sun.

My thought for the day (as a big old book nerd).
Frodo: "...I wish none of this had happened."
Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us"

The Gen Z I know did not, but they are either enrolled in college or have graduated from college. Once again education matters.
