I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

We are now living in a dangerous type of country where malicious bureaucrats think they can blithely ignore judges' rulings.
They need to be held in contempt and arrested, not scolded.

Great explanation of how the War on Science is very much not making anything great.

If you can, please throw a couple of bucks in the pot to support the next generation of scientists.
I need help. 3 National STEM Festival sponsors pulled funding because of the current climate. Please help. This is a life changing opportunity for kids that have worked so hard!

Given the dislike and perceived uselessness of my subject that I have seen as a math teacher, I wager it will be removed from that list soon. And reading will probably just be taught as sight words, so people can't read anything too advanced.

Today's homeschool field trip was to a circus school in a repurposed old church. The kids got to try out trapeze, tight rope walking, aerial silks, German wheels, and learn some juggling skills. It was a lot more fun than gym classes I had in school.

If your education skipped over Japanese internment camps, I highly recommend getting George Takei's book "They Called Us Enemy". It's an easy, but very powerful, read in graphic-novel style. My daughter and I read it as part of her homeschool history curriculum in 4th grade.
Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.
