If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

The most important work that I do as a historian and educator is with history teachers around the country through professional development programs. I just learned that another workshop that I was scheduled to lead in April has been cancelled due to DEI. This is madness.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

It's a systemic thing beyond my capacity to change myself. I dabbled in standard-based grading for a few years, but the headwinds are too strong so for now I am a "normal" teacher #sschat
