US History teachers who want to use pictures of the Boston Marathon like this one in a lesson on Title IX can find a lesson here infinitude.maherpages.net/index.php/le.... It also uses the story of Billie Jean King and a 12 year-old who helped lift the ban of girls from little league, Marie Pepe.

"when the people on the one part considered the army as sent to enslave them, and the Army on the other were taught to look on the people as in a state of rebellion, it was but just to fear the most disagreeable consequences. Our fears, we have seen, were but too well grounded" Dr. Joseph Warren

If innocent blood is not heard and avenged according the laws of every good system of civil government, it will continue to cry, not only against the murderer, but the government & land, which suffers murderers to go unpunished. "Innocent blood crying to God from the streets of Boston" John Lathrop

This ain't right. "Preserve" means to keep something safe, intact, or in good condition, protecting it from harm, decay, loss, or destruction. "Erase" means to remove something written, drawn, or recorded, either physically or digitally or to eliminate something completely, such as a memory.

A little after 2 pm five years ago I was yelling at a screen in frustration that our county only had a few defenders putting their lives on the line to protect our system of government and the rule of law. It's five years later and I'm still yelling the same thing.

Wearing a little history today, a subtle nod to educators who resisted tyranny - and a learning opportunity for students who ask about it. They won't get an answer of course, but they will get an invitation to look it up for themselves. Cultivating curiosity is more effective than demanding it.

Here's part of The Petition of Right in delivered to King Charles I in 1628, referencing Parliament's restriction of King Edward III's authority in 1340, laws and events familiar to the founders when they anchored our government on the rule of law. Close to 700 years of law are under attack today.

Came across these clauses from the Magna Carta while reading Richard Ovenden's "Burning the Books" - made we wonder if the Supreme Court has a copy. We're witnessing more than the destruction of a system of rights developed in 1789 - we're watching the ones from 1215 evaporate before our very eyes

Another example of how the @nytimes.com aids and abets the destruction of the rule of law. If the President signed an Executive Order renaming the country as the "United States of Trump" the NYTimes would probably report it just the same way

4 of the 27 specific grievances leveled against King George III in the Declaration of Independence are especially relevant today. We submitted these facts "to a candida world" to prove the King's "direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."

Did the NYTimes always have a problem? In 1973 it called Jeb Magruder's suggestion that the Nixon Administration use the IRS and Justice Department to "get the media" just a "News Media Move". Maybe the difference today is that such tactics wouldn't be enough to even merit a sigh.

Saw Mort Kunstler’s "Patrick Henry's Speech" yesterday and could swear he included actors from the film 1776. Henry himself looks like Donald Madden’s John Dickenson. Seated to his left could be William Hansen’s Caesar Rodney. The clincher is William Daniels peeking through the crowd as John Adams

The AHA's 2024 "American Lesson Plan" report says that Gast's painting is "one of the most assigned sources for students studying westward expansion". Teachers should throw it into their slides now so it's ready to talk about later later. Teaching without the Homeland Security post is malpractice

Barbara Tuchman's 1976 essay "On Our Birthday" is worth revisiting this morning. "But if the great question, whether it is still possible to reconcile democracy with social order and individual liberty, is to find a positive answer, it will be here." tinyurl.com/bdhkxrjb What would she write today?
