Salient as I visited the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague today (a Holocaust memorial). They have a permanent exhibit of children’s drawings from the period.

I include the AI statement below on my syllabus. On written assignments, I also require students to provide an affirmative statement that they either didn't use AI in completing the assignment or that they did with an explanation of how exactly they used it.

"Visionary, rigorous, and collegial." A bit obsequious, but interesting to see. Thanks for the idea!

I also asked it for suggestions on how to write better (increase the sense of urgency, sharpen your call to action, weave in a few human-scale examples, etc.) that were actually pretty useful.

Remembering today the sacrifices made by both veterans and civilians to protect and maintain the democracies of which I’m a citizen. Those sacrifices fighting tyrants, totalitarians, and fascists secured our rights. We owe it to them not to let those sacrifices be in vain. Keep up the fight.
