Here at the Institute we have a project brewing, and it's taking some actual time to prepare. But I still collected some reading for you this week.
Why my book has been removed from school shelves
An LA Times op-ed from Christopher Noxon, author of Good Trouble: Lessons from the Civil Rights Playbook, which has drawn some attention in Virginia for being about, you know, Black stuff.
Loraine Superintendent deemed a hero
A fairly encouraging story in a dreary week, not the least because here's a superintendent who regularly drives the school bus.
Moms for Liberty- Williamson County is a hell of conspiracy theories and petty complaints
There's a new blogger in Tennessee, and he went and signed himself up as a member of MFL so he could see what he could see on the inside. Turns out it's not encouraging.
The demoralization of the American teacher
I'm not agreeing with all of this piece by Shane Trotter in Quillette, but it's still a good read with some worthwhile observations.
Self-care versus Sustainable Leadership
You should be reading Nancy Flanagan regularly anyway, but I'll just keep recommending her stuff.
Virginia was not about education...but Democrats need to be.
Mitchell Robinson at Eclectablog directs some righteous anger at the Democrats and their continued failure to stand up for public ed.
Youngkin's campaign was about something sinister
Jan Resseger offers an analysis of the ugly subtext of the new governor's campaign
When should racism be taught in schools
CBS actually caught so much grief over this terrible headline that they have since changed it. But the article that comes with it is a pretty good look at CRT panic.
Later this week, a trial will kick off challenging Pennsylvania's lousy funding system. This is a good explainer of what the big deal is.
Anti-Hillary group rebranded as anti-CRT group
CNBC has the story of 1776 PAC, which turns out to be an old anti group with a new mission.
This is a story about milk, but also about what happens when the press doesn't do its job.
This is a great piece from Parker Molloy, spinning off the CNN coverage of milk prices this weekend (don't worry--if you missed that mess, the article brings you up to speed) but also about what happens when the press lets people go on being angry about things that haven't actually happened.
