"You took with you almost everything that was ours, but you couldn't take with you our determined will to be free." -Excerpt from one of Paolo Freire's Exercise Workbooks (Reading the Word and the World, 1987) #paulofreire #solidarity #weshallovercome

I'm reading "Spain in Our Hearts" by historian Adam Hochschild to prepare a lesson on the Spanish Civil War, and all of a sudden it strikes me... While many of us learn history to not repeat it, others use it as a playbook to seize power. It's not a new epiphany. It just strikes hard sometimes.

Grappling with how to teach historical racism in the classroom... #EduSky

Since learning and teaching about racism is a moral act in and of itself, it is crucial to recognize one's own biases and examine research that may not reinforce pre-existing beliefs to ensure we provide information and not sermons (Davis, 2025).

Why would 47 take issue with VetoViolence? Let's see... "VetoViolence exists to empower you and your community to prevent violence and implement evidence-based prevention strategies in your community." --> He dislikes evidence and thrives on violence.

Teachers are key in empowering students to see beyond essentialist narratives. 🍏

When teachers expose history
as a human construction laden with perspective
and purpose, students learn not to see texts as
infallible and undisputable. They can be critical
of what they read and more cognizant of ambiguity (Shemilt, 2000; Wertsch, 2008).

Pacifict or not, we each hold a weapon in our hands. It's up to us how we use it.

What you have in the smartphone is a compendium of military hardware, much of it researched in universities and turned into weapons and products by corporations. Quote by George Friedman from his book The Storm Before the Calm.

New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins. This book introduced me to the concept of corporatocracy and explicitly lays out how American imperialism is responsible for so much of the world's problems. But he also lays out a plan for how we can combat all our mayhem.
