Anne Frank & Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were born in 1929. Viola Fletcher, who just died this week, was already 15 when they were born.
But while we were just with Ms. Fletcher days ago, Anne Frank & Dr King are portrayed as ancient history.
Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.”

Harry Belafonte hosted the Tonight Show for five days in 1968 and brought on amazing guests to speak and perform in ways that were relevant to the Civil Rights movement and everything that was going on in the nation.
This was well worth the time to watch.

Re: current math curricula:
There's value in learning multiple strategies, but at some point the kids should be allowed to just choose the strategies that work best for them and DO THE MATH instead of being tested in ways that make them demonstrate they KNOW ALL THE WAYS they COULD do it.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I am pleased to report that we had a high voting turnout yesterday for PA Dems. We re-elected four sensible school board members in my daughter's school district, and retained our three Democratic PA Supreme Court Judges to hold the line on Civil Rights and Justice.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.
The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.
The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.
