2. History is there for you to learn from it.
3. History offends you? Even better. Then you are less likely to repeat it.

Read this out loud, then read it again. Then teach it to your children and grandchildren.

Just presented an overview of our #ClimateJustice work in teacher education to the WA statewide network of teacher ed faculty and leaders (WACTE). We are working to expand efforts to integrate climate and environmental justice across teacher education. Nice connections surfaced!

Here are the overview slides about the Climate Teacher Ed Collaborative I used…

Just a quick moment to raise my middle finger to Meta and everyone else who thinks it's okay to bring back Donald Shitwagon.

New study finds "no substantial evidence of any biological advantages for trans women competing in elite women's sport."

"'What threatens women's elite sport, for cis and trans women, is not trans women, but is rather misogyny in the form of underfunding, non-parity in participation and leadership, inequitable sport space allocation/access, and a range of sporting opportunities not afforded to women...in equitable ways.'"

Hey all, would appreciate a post boost on this one.

I, unfortunately, got laid off last week and am looking for a new job! If you know of any going that fit my skillset of video content creation, educational CG writing, CG generalist then I'd love to hear about it!

@RonDeSantisFL@twitter.com @MelissainJax@twitter.com All the details about the policy this Florida teacher is reacting to here:

https://popular.info/p/florida-teachers-told-to-remove-books

5. The new policy in Manatee, which is likely to be duplicated across Florida, was issued in response to HB 1467, which was signed into law by DeSantis last March.

That law established that teachers could not be trusted to select books appropriate for their students.

2. Officials from the Manatee County School District confirmed the new policy to http://popular.info.

The policy was communicated to principals in a meeting last Wednesday.

Teachers are in the process of being informed now.

3. Teachers in Manatee County lamented the news on social media. "My heart is broken for Florida students today as I am forced to pack up my classroom library," one Manatee teacher wrote on Facebook.

@ZingerLearns Yep. It should have been a pick-6. Dak narrowly avoiding a safety on the very next play showed how lost he was near the end of the game.

My contribution to #nfl mastodon: The racist dude that owns the Cowboys keeps refering to his franchise as "America's Team" and I just want to point out that most Americans don't like to be associated with has-been racist losers. ijs
