Asked my 9 yo how she felt reading this book, as a white person; she said “I think the only white people that feel bad or mad or uncomfortable reading about the stuff that white people did in history are the people who want to do it again.” #StopBanningBooks@nhannahjones pic.twitter.com/fMn663Zlq3

Highly recommend this piece, which reminds us that amid all of the political theatre and real-world consequences of the the CRT debate… “states’ revisions to history standards have attracted far less attention, even though they stand to affect millions more students.” https://t.co/dFHij85c2i
