I wrote this piece Sunday. The policies I warned would change were changed on Tuesday, the day this was released. I think the message is still relevant for anyone who cares about young people and the communities in which they will grow up. jheconomics.com/the-cost-of-... #EduSky #K12 #Immigration

This is a brilliant and timely piece by Timothy Ryback from @theatlantic.com. When I was at Facing History, I produced a short film featuring his work on the early days of Dachau. Look for it, Tim's work on the transition from democracy to dictatorship is really compelling

History matters, which is why some folks don't want us to teach it.

I used to share these sorts of updates on Facebook. I'm not sure if they are appropriate here. Here is the construction update. The living room is still in a in-between state but the 2nd floor is now chaos.
