The Antiracist Economist 2022: 182. ​​PROFIT WITHOUT OPPRESSION: GETTING INTO NUANCE WITH KIM CRAYTON pauseontheplay.com/potp/182

@academicchatter @AlSolano @edutooters Mortimer Adler said that great teachers “were on the way to becoming.” Learning experts are always learning, always inquisitive, and love the quest.

I also received some sagely advice to be cautious of things that are proprietary or too sexy — #opensource is often the best route!

RIP Pelé, rey do jogo bonito.
A sad day for fans of footbol, and a life we should celebrate. An incredible player who brought so much joy to footbol and the world, an incredible ambassador for the game.
May his memory live on!

My first toot is also the annual reminder to myself (and all of us in education) to re-read Paulo Friere, bell hooks, Ivan Illich, and James Baldwin.

@ZingerLearns thanks for your input and I agree. I guess having the students repeat facts easily found facts (from the comfort of their homes) have really outlived itself and #chatgpt should be the final nail in the coffin.
As you suggest - we as teachers need to, for higher grades at least, ask the students more personal questions, and tying the answers together with past knowledges, classroom activities and personal opinions.

Maybe this is a weird analogy, but this mirrors part of what is wrong with #academia these days. Too much focus on things other than #education. If we refocus, remember how to love educating, maybe we can bring the #academy back the way #BarnesandNoble is coming back. #PUI

I dunno how organizations/individuals committed to DEI & public health are still creating/sharing content on an website/app where the website/app owner is shaping public discourse on “woke mind virus” and making queer-phobic content that (in some twisted way) threatens the safety of public health officials like Fauci. where is the red line?

Looks like a good read: "Policy makers and researchers can be more specific about the values underlying proposed interventions or in society at large." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.11

House Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker, who led the D.C. National Guard during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, said law enforcement would have responded differently if the rioters had been Black.
“I’m African American. Child of the Sixties. I think it would have been a vastly different response if those were African Americans trying to breach the Capitol,” Walker told the House Jan. 6 panel in April, according to a transcript released this week .

The military budget is $858 billion.

It’s larger than the military spending of the next nine largest military powers in the world combined.

Over half of it is going to for-profit companies.

This is the military-industrial complex that Dwight Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
