I shared a few thoughts in a thread—and a story by @citizenstewart.bsky.social—but I'm kind of amazed at how quickly so many people in education blasted out with instant, firm takes on Nikole Hannah-Jones' piece from last weekend.

I have had my disagreements with Nikole Hannah-Jones, but I don’t want to hear any negativity about her recent piece. It’s damn brilliant writing. Her gift is real. cc: @nhannahjones.bsky.social citizen.substack.com/p/we-should-...

I usually pass by people on the street when they look like they're selling something. I'm glad I didn't do that this time.

The Test
I usually pass by these street evangelists and reject their religious hand-outs. Not this time.

I've passed the protesters outside Planned Parenthood dozens of times. Each time, I pass judgment and keep driving. But this time I stopped to talk to them. What happened next reminded me that the hardest conversations are often the most important ones. substack.com/home/post/p-...

How did we arrive at this critical juncture in education? The right prioritized markets over evidence. The left focused on institutions over outcomes. The center opted for balance over truth. Now, I choose proof.

The resources kids get outside school depends on family income, study finds
Public schools do more to level the playing field than many other systems do. A new study shows how uneven the rest of childhood remains.

Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

A migrant family is captured and zip-tied by ICE. Many will see this image and feel no empathy. No mercy. No grace. No compassion. Jesus was unambiguous: welcome the stranger, love your neighbor, protect the vulnerable. The Christ of Christianity called us to mercy.
