It is interesting how many educators don’t make the connection of what we do to the politics of the day. This week I attended the ESEA conference. The main focus of the conference is how to work within Title schools and assisting students living in poverty. The politicians make the rules and how to spend… Continue reading Education is Political

We’ve all heard this term before. It feels lately like this is what has happened to our government and institutions. Trump leaves office with classified and highly classified documents. The National Archives finally realizes the documents are missing and asks for them back. It takes a lawfully executed search by the Department of Justice to… Continue reading The Fox is in the Hen House

Talk is intensifying about the 2024 Presidential Race. Will it be Biden v Trump? Biden v DeSantis? Harris v Trump or DeSantis? Biden v someone? Of even two as yet unknowns? There is even chatter about whether Kamala will be on the ticket again. Which has made me wonder? What’s up with Kamala Harris? I… Continue reading What’s Up with Kamala Harris?

Trumpists and elected Republicans want to take away the social safety net, equal rights, choice, and have no plan whatsoever to attack inflation. Each of… Continue reading Men Need to Listen

I have rarely done a repost of a older post. But, with the election now less than a month away, I thought it was more relevant now than in August. More prudent and necessary especially since I still haven’t seen ads taking Republican candidates and incumbents to the wood shed. Democrats! Do better! I’ve written… Continue reading Where Are the Ads? (Repost from 8/6/2022)
