I am stunned to hear of the passing of the fierce, brilliant and principled scholar activist Johanna Fernandez. Johanna's scholarship will endure. She was a gem and the world is worse for her no longer being here. Rest in power, comrade.

This new data compiled by @mattbarnum.bsky.social is invaluable. It makes clear that worries about the teacher shortage, downplayed by contrarians, were and are warranted. Importantly, it raises a largely ignored factor affecting student mental health, behavior, and academic success.

A ‘lost generation’ of teachers left the classroom. Schools are still dealing with the consequences.

Veteran teachers left, principals cycled through too, and high-poverty schools likely faced the greatest strain. Here’s what years of churn did to classrooms.

As an American history professor, I regularly read new books, articles, and dissertations, and also evaluate unpublished manuscripts for journals and book publishers. I would not categorize the recent and emerging historiography in the binary way that Ezra Klein does.

There has been a severing of American history into two visions: one that can only see glory and one that can only see suffering and sin.

You probably think you know the dimensions of ascendent fascism, but without reckoning with this you really don't. I didn't. 30+ year sentences for making zines. No one is safe.

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

To me, progressives ARE moderates. When you call everything you oppose political “radical” or “extremist” or socialist or communist, you will miss the moderates that are right in front of you. Makes me think moderates are not what they really want at all. Hmmm , Is moderate code for status quo? 🤔

We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists. If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side. We need moderates.

A group of about twenty educators at my high school read and discussed this book over the course of a couple of months. We agreed: this is essential reading for educators.

I don’t know if he intended it to be this way, but Brian Goldstone wrote a book that every education policy person and every educator needs to read. This is why: 1) This is a book about children. They are there in nearly every scene, and every setback in their families’ quest for a home is…

The politics of white grievance doesn’t just unite the right. It also tames the not-right. In my world, for example, social scientists are THRILLED to finally bench critical scholarship. same stories from every profession , every club, every institution — they’re all enjoying this.
