Do you teach Oney Judge? Your students probably want to see/discuss this - but smh big time #sschat #teachhistory
Here's one of the panels that Trump just removed from the President's House site in Philadelphia. (I took this picture of it last March. A couple of weeks later I led a walking tour that included the site.) Does this information "disparage" the United States?
![MOUNT VERNON TO PHILADELPHIA:
A Path to Freedom-For Some
The nine enslaved men and women of the President's House were chosen by Washington to accompany him to Philadelphia. They were separated from their families back in Mount Vernon and rotated out of state regularly to prevent them from gaining freedom under Pennsylvania law.
CHARACTERS
Christopher Sheels, enslaved attendant to Washington
Hercules. enslaved cook
Richmond, Hercules' enslaved son
Giles, enslaved stable hand
Oney Judge, enslaved maid and seamstress to Martha
Austin, Ona's enslaved half brother, house servant
Paris. enslaved stable hand
Moll, enslaved maid to Martha
Joe Richardson, enslaved postillion for the presidential coach
[Floor plan]

Yes, critical independent thought is the goal but culture wars and extremists calling something controversial doesn’t make it one-Black Lives Matter and pride flags, signals that every student is welcome as an example of unwanted “activism”-no 🎁 article www.nytimes.com/2025/12/13/o...

Teach like a Luddite! In which I join @philnichols.bsky.social and @anterobot.bsky.social to argue for a Luddite praxis in education grounded in three elements: embracing strategic playfulness; developing localized tactics; and building networks of resistance. Read the article at Kappan:
Teach like a Luddite - Kappan Online
Embracing new technologies that don’t advance teaching and learning is a mistake. Educators must ask questions — and resist when necessary.

5) Coordinated resistance has been successful at blunting the potency of Trump’s censorship campaign, mirroring the power collective resistance has in modern U.S. history to move society forward. Sustained & systemic resistance is essential in the months & yrs ahead as a bulwark against tyranny.

The people trying to grab and consolidate all power to benefit their cronies understand the power of a humanities education as they try to destroy all humanities and public education. I guess that might mean we’ve been doing something right? Dannnggg

The stealing and pillaging of our shared resources - created with our monies - continues. So bad.
EDSITEment - a project National Endowment for the Humanities with 30 years of development and over 1,000 lesson plans and resources for K-16 students that attracted 2.5 million visitors per year - appears to have been archived and is no longer accessible.
This is what the #NEH has become.
