"Inflation" by Earnest Jackson. Add to your #APUSH playlist! Hard to imagine ever teaching Jimmy Carter without this song again! Part of a fun project by @npr's NPR's Planet Money open.spotify.com/track/0PUWmPna… (& of course, obligatory reminder: JIMMY CARTER BEAT INFLATION. Not Reagan.)

Yes! “Beyond Rosa Parks” is always a highlight lesson for my students. Take a story “they think they know” and allow them to investigate the complexities and watch students come alive! Here it is, for #APUSH 8.6, antiracistapush.com/topic-86-a

“The most significant cause of the rise of a new conservative movement was a racist white backlash against the civil rights.” - Dr. Randall Balmer New #APUSH DBQ review and great class discussion: “Race and the Rise of the New Right.” antiracistapush.com/topic-91-a

Congrats #APUSH students!!! You did it! But now the REAL test begins! How will you APPLY all of your knowledge? Which parts of American identity should be preserved? What do we need to change? Make sure you show up at decision making time! #APTest

The #VotingRightsAct strikes back! Surprising news from #SCOTUS today. A serious course in US history MUST continue to trace developments in voting rights POST 1965. For #APUSH students to get the full narrative, Shelby County v. Holder, 2013 must be a key vocab term.

This quote from Sotomayor’s decent is going into my #APUSH materials for next year. It’s also a nice simple statement to use to shutdown any school board meeting nonsense. Thanks for the graphic When We All Vote

The AHA is aware of reports of vandalism at the Museum of the American Revolution. A police report documents 1 incident, early morning, June 29. The AHA condemns this act of vandalism, just as the AHA condemns the systemic harassment by Mothers for Liberty against teachers. (1/2)

Easily the best edu conference I’ve ever attended! Media should cover more @DrLaGarrettKing & less Ron DeSantis. There are so many brilliant educators doing great things w/ Black Hist. Check out The Blk Cabinet & this great summary phillys7thward.org/2023/07/i-atte… via Phillys7thward

Florida mandates that mythology be taught in schools. NCHE says FL “attempts to soften the horrors” and “misrepresent” and “attempt to erase” the basic facts of US Hist. Overall, the standards are a “contradiction to the historical record.” String & true words form the experts.
