Parents worried about their kids’ social media use are nostalgic for a version of their own childhood. They’d be better served cultivating digital literacy skills.

Social Media Bans for Children Ignore the Reality of Digital Life

Parents are better served developing digital literacy skills than trying to recreate their own childhoods.

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

I’ve authored, co-authored, and co-edited more than 10 books & dozens of journal articles & book chapters over the course of my career. Research/writing are not about individual success or personal achievement. Thinking & theorizing are about collective agency and liberatory knowledge.

‘Internment’ tells the dystopian story of a Muslim American teen fighting for justice. Author @samiraahmed.bsky.social calls banning stories like hers “identity erasure” & dissuades young activists who can drive real change. She joins me at 11a ET for the latest #VelshiBannedBookClub. #Velshi

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Picture of quote from W.E.B. DuBois's Black Reconstruction in America.

"When the Confederates returned to domination, the public schools, which had attained a degree of efficiency never before reached in the South, were greatly curtailed. One hundred and ten of the teachers, many of them native-born, were dismissed at once, and their places were filled with intolerate Confederates."

Civil rights law, affirmative action, diversity and equity programs, were designed to eliminate the obstacles faced by people whose ancestors were enslaved, they were created to address a *condition,*not as a “racial preference. Addressing a condition is not racial discrimination

It’s strange watching critics of this administration turn to the judicial system. Is anyone familiar with the tenets of Critical Race Theory?

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
