Under Trump, the U.S. Department of Education is running away from DEI
The Education Department is putting staff on leave and scrubbing its website. The moves came after President Donald Trump’s executive order called for the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion activities in the federal government.

A thread on birthright citizenship I wrote in 2018, that unfortunately remains relevant.
I always thought this was where it was all headed. Abolishing birthright citizenship for the non-white and non-rich. And why I teach on United States v. Wong Kim Ark every semester.

ICYMI: In their remaining days of state control, Michigan Democrats are pushing legislation they say would make history curriculums in K-12 public schools more culturally inclusive.
Michigan Democrats push culturally inclusive K-12 history curriculum legislation
The bills would require schools to teach African American, Latino American, and Native American history.

All my friends are pretty broke.
Maybe you're broke, too.
But maybe your friends or your friends' friends aren't?
If y'all could repost this so it could, like, reach those non-broke folks, I bet they'd buy a print for their broke friends, right?
That'd be sweet.
