Good morning. This is a wonderful read for educators and literature people.
I doubt that I would have given this missive from Pope Francis my attention were it not for a steer from @bcdreyer.social, but I really can’t recommend it enough.

I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.

Linda Greenhouse is right.
Oklahoma's overreach has put Jon Roberts and Clarence Thomas in a terrible position: They can either say charters aren't public, OR they can say that charters can't be religious.
Read on for more explainers of this complicated case.

Last weekend at the History of Education Society annual meeting I shared some research on the Young Citizens League, a civics club/organization/student government structure for one-room schoolhouses in the Dakotas and Minnesota in the early to mid 20th Century.

Timely day to share my winter break read. @organizewithshaun.bsky.social’s work examines the history and politics of Seattle from the Progressive Era on through the lens of its sports teams and athletes. In one book the reader bemoans lacking regional rail transit and losing the Sonics.
