Once again, I'll just say that in my 25 years of teaching and leading professional development workshops for history teachers, I have never heard Critical Race Theory mentioned a something that is taught. 🗃️ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/06/m...
‘Every teacher I’ve talked to is completely freaked out by it’: Trump’s order on critical race theory thrusts White House into the classroom - The Boston Globe
While lessons involving race and racism are taught in public schools, many K-12 school systems, including those in Massachusetts, said critical theory is not.

Pro tip: if your senator's/congressperson's DC office doesn't answer or their mailbox is full, call their regional offices.
Most senators have six regional offices. Just google your senator and you'll find it on their website.
Keep calling until you get a person or can leave a message.

So many are losing their jobs, so much of government is deliberately being paralyzed into being incapable of acting, so many people are losing monies they rely upon, so much market instability is being introduced in just hours. At what point do we experience a system collapse? And what happens then?

This much I know. We end up with protests that get unruly because Trump sends his paramilitaries into those protests to make them violent. He then calls out the Guard and orders them to fire on protesters. When mass bloodshed results from his actions, he declares martial law. Then democracy is over.

There is zero reporting about what’s going on in right wing media. None. Please talk to family and friends AND go to right wing media to post there about what Trump and Musk are doing, because the right is in the middle of a media blackout and they will not know what’s happening unless we tell them.
