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

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...

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

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.
