I don’t think there are many things more satisfying than sipping on a whiskey cocktail and just listening to old blues artists wail away their troubles. Tonight, it’s a Vieux Carre with Elmore James singing “Held My Baby Last Night.”

The Every Student Succeeds Act states: “No officer or employee of the Federal government shall…mandate, direct, or control a State, local educational agency, or school’s specific instructional content and academic standards.” The Executive Order is illegal. #DemoracyMatters

Grateful to have been interviewed for this article on the 1776 Commission and VA’s education policies. Both attempted to distort and sanitize history and push a narrow, ideological narrative. Many thanks to Nathaniel Cline at the VA Mercury for discussing this. virginiamercury.com/2024/11/15/p...
Plans to restore 1776 Commission recall efforts to revise Virginia’s K-12 history standards • Virginia Mercury
Some educators say there are similarities between how the 1776 Commission's report and the Youngkin administration’s proposed education standards were created.

It feels like my first post has to be: “You’re my blue sky, you’re my sunny day…”
