The constitutionality should absolutely have been determined beforehand. This is so out of order from scholars who absolutely know better. Just invented a weasel excuse post facto instead of telling the truth.

Just a reminder. The slave industry was more profitable than the rail road industry. Slavery was Americas first big business

What we are seeing in South Korea right now is not just a moving example of democracy but also an important reminder of how strong historical education can empower people to not repeat the worst of its history.
"Right wing attempts to criminalize & ban the teaching of people’s history make ZEP’s work essential.
With a small staff, ZEP helps teachers teach truthfully . . . Please join me in financially supporting the Zinn Education Project." - @dcolapinto ⬇️

This is my great grandfather’s poem!
Here is my article on Garabed Artinian who survived the Adana Massacres of 1909, lost his family, and wrote the lengthiest lamentation poem (destan) in Armeno-Turkish. I analyze the destan, discuss its historical value, and provide a translation.

One of my favorite museum galleries anywhere in the world: The @SmithsonianNMAI ‘s 3rd floor South Gallery exhibit “Americans.” A #Thanksgiving reminder that the past isn’t past and the living now encompasses all of us.

This is why, more than ever, people should not obey in advance.
Especially teachers of history.
A part of the disinformation was produced by suppression of teaching critical analysis & people's history -- enforced by high stakes testing, anti-CRT laws, book bans, & chilling effect.
GOP advanced that legislation for a reason.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum: "If even a small percentage of what the United States allocates to war were instead dedicated to building peace and fostering development, it would address the underlying causes of human mobility."
Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."

And Zinn Education Project! I absolutely loved the newsletter y'all sent out yesterday. Everyone reading this who is interested in anti-fascist K-12 education, follow @ZinnEdProject and @RethinkSchools
If that was the reason, why wasn't Ta-Nehisi Coates Zoomed in for his much anticipated keynote?
As announced at the #NCSS2024 President's Welcome this morning, Ta-Nehisi Coates will no longer be speaking today due to exposure to COVID-19. NCSS has extended an invitation to Mr. Coates to share his voice with us at a future event. We encourage attendees to spend time in the Exhibit Hall visiting our vendors, listening to new voices and stories.
