Announcing a *special feature* at the Durham launch of my book next weekend: "dunk the author" in which I will get pelted with water balloons. Those who know me know I do NOT like being cold and wet. But this book is about pushing outside our comfort zones...and I'm taking it quite literally!

I really love meeting and talking with student journalists, and was recently interviewed by one who did a great story about protest and resistance to anti-trans policies. Why can't we get coverage like this from...the media? jbarrettportfolio.wordpress.com/2025/04/06/a...

Trump's January executive order about "radical indoctrination in K-12 schooling" threatens to pull funding from schools teaching "discriminatory equity ideology." Included in the definition of that ideology -- a specific ban on claiming that objectivity and neutrality are racist or sexist.
