My AP Comparative Government classes had another great classroom exchange with our friends at Long Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge, England today. One of my favorite days of the semester. #EDUSky

After marrying in 1958, childhood sweethearts Mildred and Richard Loving were arrested for violating Virginia's ban on interracial marriage.

Image of Mildred Loving, an ACLU client in the landmark Supreme Court case that outlawed bans on interracial marriage. This quote that was attributed to Mildred Loving is on the image: "I believe all American, no matter their race, no matter their sex, no matter their sexual orientation should have that same freedom to marry."

I was shocked and appalled today when I referenced Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby today in class (Peak early 2000s cinema) and virtually none of my students had seen this masterpiece. With only 98 days to cover the entire AP Gov curriculum, we’ve go to go fast.

I’m in complete agreement with this take. I frequently tell my students that people with strong interpersonal communication skills will be the most employable in the next few years. This usually after I remind them that phones shouldn’t be out.
