Retaining presidential records while assuring public access has been a benefit of bringing the modern presidential libraries under NARA. But now we are censoring the legacies of our past leaders.

My mantra is “no talking about education without educators.” Teachers are too often absent from the places where teaching is discussed. This has been evident in the public responses to Pres. Trump’s 1/29 EO: “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling.”

Abolishing the Department of Education will further decimate rural schools... And, for what? The Dept of Ed does not write curriculum -- that is done at the local and state level. The funding from the department mostly supports economically disadvantaged school systems. The poorest schools...

The AHA & the @oah.org have released a joint statement on the presidential executive order “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K–12 Schooling.” “We reject the premise that it is ‘anti-American’ or ‘subversive’ to learn the full history of the United States.” 🗃️
