I was glad to discuss “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” tonight at @huntercollege.bsky.social. America’s educators are what make our democracy strong—by teaching students how to think, not what to think, & creating opportunities for all kids to succeed. That’s why my book is a love letter to teachers.

Today, we salute the brave men and women, including our student, faculty, and staff veterans, who dedicated their lives to protecting our freedom. On behalf of the Hunter College community, thank you, & Happy #VeteransDay!
