"HOW SCHOOLS MAKE RACE is an important and timely book that equips parents, teachers, and administrators with the language and tools necessary to improve dual-language programs." —@fhinojosa956.bsky.social, Latinx Talk
Book Review: Laura C. Chávez-Moreno, How Schools Make Race: Teaching Latinx Racialization in America (Harvard Education Press, 2025) - Latinx Talk
In today’s classrooms, talking about, teaching, or even celebrating racial diversity have been shunned. At a moment when our nation’s schools have become more diverse than at any point in history, teachers and school administrators are mandated to steer clear of conversations on race, power, inequality, and systemic racism. Speaking loudly, and prophetically, into this

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike
It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

James Baldwin didn’t believe in reform; he believed in revolution. “Anything less than a total social reckoning—a complete psychological makeover of white America—was worthless,” Louis Menand writes.
The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin
An older generation dismissed him as passé; a newer one has recast him as a secular saint. But Baldwin’s true message remains more unsettling than either camp recognizes.

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o... But Trump has never wanted to be president, at least not as defined in Article II of the U.S. Constitution. He has always wanted to be king.
Opinion | Don’t Believe Him
Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.
