Thank you to the Honorable Kevin Smith, Massachusetts land court judge, for visiting our Intro to Law classes at Lexington High School and taking questions from students. It turns out that land court has lots of drama, And it was very interesting to hear about it!

A million thanks to Discovering Justice for our Introduction to the Law field trip to the Moakley Federal courthouse in Boston today. We were able to meet with United States judge Allison Burroughs and observe a plea bargain in an interstate theft and conspiracy case. ⚖️👩‍⚖️

Thank you to the Japanese American National Museum for this wonderful teacher institute. In April, they learned that they had lost their NEH funding. They privately fundraised to make it happen, bringing dozens of educators from around the US to Little Tokyo to learn together. @jamuseum.bsky.social

A special moment: Richard Murakami shared carvings his father made in internment camps in CA & AR. One act of kindness: Richard told us that a Long Beach neighbor carefully stored all of his father's farming equipment for the years of internment to return when they came home. @jamuseum.bsky.social

Brian Niiya spoke to our @jamuseum.bsky.social teacher institute on the topic of redress (formerly interned Japanese Americans received a presidential apology and $20K each in 1988). Brian also runs Densho.org, which provides excellent resources for teaching Japanese Internment.

Incredibly fortunate to hear from four Japanese Americans who lived in internment camps as children. Two went on to serve in the US military. Thank you, Ms. Berk and Mr. Iwashashi, Mr. Yamashita, & Mr. Murakami for telling your story to our @jamuseum.bsky.social teacher institute.

Our @jamuseum.bsky.social teacher institute group had a very meaningful visit to Manzanar today. In the blazing sun, it was hard to imagine that many families spent years interned here, simply because they were of Japanese ancestry.

Kerry Dunne @kerrydunne.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

Our @jamuseum.bsky.social teacher institute learned about the US Army's 442nd regiment, comprised entirely of Japanese American soldiers who lived by their "Go For Broke" slogan and fought valiantly in the European theater of WWII- all while their families were interned in camps. Heroes!

Our @jamuseum.bsky.social teacher institute kicked things off with very interesting walking tours of Little Tokyo and Boyle Heights, both historic centers of the Japanese American community in LA. One of our tour guides was born in Manzanar in 1944.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Like many teachers across the country, I was accepted into an NEH summer institute on April 2, and found out on April 4 that the institute was cancelled because of DOGE's gutting of NEH funding, including already-issued grants. Please take action! nhalliance.org/federal-fundin…

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Important to note today. In 1933, opposition parties might have been able to stop the Nazis. But, they were divided on how to do that. The Reichstag passed a law making it illegal to speak out against the government. Hitler later outlawed opposition parties. www.facinghistory.org/resource-lib...

Is there anything better than running into a long-ago former student? I taught this guy in 9th grade world history in the 2001 - 2002 school year at Framingham High School! He served in the US Marines out of high school and has been working as a Framingham firefighter ever since. Very proud of him!

When reporting on Trump, don't be like the AP; be like WHDH 7 News Boston. The AP: "Trump and Zelenskyy trade barbs..." 7 News Boston: "TRUMP LIES ABOUT UKRAINE and Zelenskyy." That's how you do it.

Day 2: What was the biggest jerk thing you did as a kid/teen? A: I was about 16, my mom was taking me out for lunch. She hinted that she wanted to talk to me about boys and college. I jumped out of the car at a stoplight and ran 2 miles home. I think about this often while parenting my own teens!

Twice a year the 5th/6th grades would be crowded on to the auditorium stage, curtain closed, lights out, & we'd watch the school's 1935 version of David Copperfield on a 16mm projector. I saw it four times. I think the message was "be glad you're not an orphan." At least for those of us who weren't.
