The very first “What is the Tea Party?” video I saw in 2009: what was their “proof” of Obama’s “war on Christianity”? That they, supposedly, could no longer pray at DC Monuments.
“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

This is fascism. It’s here. No need to warn of the possibility. No need to say “possible warning signs…” or “heading towards unless…”. This is it. Right now.

Teachers should be allowed to deduct their real expenses. The automatic $200 deduction is a joke. And it’s not a kindness. We USED to be allowed to keep receipts. The $200 does not cover the PD I attend as a requirement to keep my certification. Much less the supplies and materials.

Jerry Jones post. I did not grow up in DFW but I live here and teach middle school now. The most glaring indicator of JJ’s failure has to be the 12-14 yo boys who wear Eagles stuff. Not just that they buy it, but they wear it every day and nobody says a thing.

We need our histories to be messy, to contain light and dark and more often than not, muddled gray….to reveal our blindspots and challenge us to create a more perfect union. This is truly patriotic education.
