I know “head in the sand” is not the answer.
I also know that the demands of a social studies teacher often require a level of media engagement that can feel (to me) debilitating.
I look forward to taking a bit of time to rest before jumping back in.

I’m thankful that @zinnedproject.bsky.social & @rethinkingschools.bsky.social have been willing to share resources & space for essential conversations.
I wish @facinghistoryuk.bsky.social would join them.

Not providing resources & space for discussion doesn’t erase what’s happening from our lives & classrooms.
Instead, it forces educators to go looking for materials - many of which are likely far less reliable than the now deleted plans Facing History had made.

Really appreciate @zinnedproject.bsky.social for linking to this piece.
As a Holocaust Studies teacher, I depend on Facing History.
This summer, while taking their course, I regularly asked my instructors for resources on Gaza & was met with silence.

There are also some things that we’ll never get back (in any form) should they burn 💔

"Do not be misled: this is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a President can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law that governs our nation. I believe he cannot.”

No I will not be changing any of my teaching to satisfy the whims of fascists.
