We put age limits on cigarettes, alcohol, and driving because kids need protection. Yet we allow Meta, X, Snapchat, and TikTok to sink their claws into children with no restrictions. The result? Exploited, depressed, desensitized, and in some cases weaponized kids. Enough is

Started the late afternoon at Ohio State for a lecture by Lucas Morel on Frederick Douglass. I was thrilled to finally get my hands on the new book he coedited with Jonathan White. I have been waiting months for it and cannot wait to read the newly discovered Douglass letters

Truly humbled to receive this honor from Jack Miller Center. It wouldn’t be possible without the incredible students I get to teach, the supportive community, and the educators from across the country I’ve met, learned from, and worked alongside.

Gotta give props to Rocky! Works ridiculously hard and deserves all the success that comes his way!

It’s been too long, old friend. 🐐

Chaperoning my 22nd 8th grade trip to Washington DC. One of my favorite parts the past four years has been having lunch with my childhood best friend (and roommate on my DC trip when I was in 8th grade) who now lives and works in DC, Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Badgley.

Add middle school to the list too!

Good luck in the semifinals Soleil!!! Bring home that title!!!
