I'm a historian who still sorta believes that studying the past can help us avoid making the same stupid mistakes all over again.

Yahoo news indeed. You can always count on MAGA to draw the wrong conclusions from tragedy. Seriously, though, can we get some real science education in this country?

A colleague recently saw this message while researching the Indian Claims Commission, which has nothing to do with "DEI" but got flagged anyway. Apparently, the history of our government's (problematic) efforts to provide restitution to tribes is "woke."

Will โ€˜patrioticโ€™ indoctrination be the next attack on Native American schoolchildren? Soon after Donald Trump returned to the White House, he issued an executive order that some fear could become an assimilationist tool reminiscent of 19th century policies targeting Native Americans.

โ€œAre they going to attack the schools and tell them what curriculum they can teach and what they cannot teach? Will it take away some of the culture and language emphasis in schools?โ€
