If you haven’t heard about what’s going with the DNC autopsy report, you need to tap in. I got the chance to break it down on KBLA’s A More Perfect Union, hosted by the brilliant @drniiquartelai. Check out the full episode: open.spotify.com/episode/2jdI...

As education becomes more politicized, we’re seeing efforts to shift school boards to partisan elections. Is this a bad idea? In my latest @pdkintl column, I dig into this question at length (and gush over my favorite Kendrick Lamar album). Check it out: kappanonline.org/should-schoo...

This from @jonathanecollins.bsky.social looks great. Folks support teaching core ideas from Critial Race Theory—that racism is structural (and bad)—but oppose teaching “CRT” because policy makers tarnished the brand. This has broad implications beyond the case. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Why do we have to be serious if the Trump Administration refuses to be?

But the CRT that wasn’t even being taught in schools was indoctrination?!

It took over 60 years to get justice, and the $6 million is still but a fraction of the equity they would’ve generated.

Happy to share my latest peer-reviewed publication, “They Only Hate the Term.” Here, I conduct multiple survey experiments to show that the use of the term “critical race theory” generates a > 20% drop in support for teaching kids about race in K-12 classrooms.

Nicknaming a man “little Marco” only to make him leader of the foreign service is 2 parts scary, 1 part hilarious.
