I've decided I'd make a great paralegal or coffee shop barista. I got attacked by white nationalists for something inane a few years ago. It made me realize there's no way to protect myself, and I just have to do what I think is right.

One of the things we cover is how slavery changed over time in the American colonies and then the U.S. There have been forms of unfree labor in most societies, but I'm encouraging the students not to flatten societies and instead to dig into the details.

I'm teaching a course on family history right now, and wish I could zoom in on genealogical research on African American history in the 19th C. We spend 2 weeks on it, but it's such important work it needs a whole semester.

It is.... Montana, BUT, the course is actually fairly common. I have friends at various universities and colleges that teach the history of slavery.

That's the argument people make in support of asking students to debate both sides, but surely, there are other ways to get students to consider multiple points of view. The prob is the negative is required to take the opposite side no matter what the affirmative presents.

It was a policy debate round. I never did Lincoln-Douglas. It depends heavily on whether you are doing Policy Forum, LD, policy, etc.

Sounds like they were journaling? Mormons are encouraged to keep a diary throughout their lives, especially on their missions.

Your kids will know, trust me. Mine insult each other by saying "I heard you love Trump." We also talked about how weird it is that some of their friends have photos of Trump in their lockers. JTT and Ryder Strong were so much hotter.

instead of being made. As a result, it's hard for my students to imagine a world where chattel slavery didn't exist. It becomes too easy to assume that the equation of blackness + slavery is natural. This affects how they approach politics and the way they will teach their future students. 2/2
