Given that it’s Presidents’ Day and the court just ordered the NPS to restore this exhibit, now seems as good a time as any to re-up this piece I wrote about Americans’ centuries-long struggle to reckon with slavery’s place in Washington’s legacy. time.com/7357382/geor...

A UH history professor is speaking out after the school asked honors college professors to sign a memorandum certifying that their course curriculum does not “indoctrinate” students, calling the request a “red line” for many faculty.
UH professor refuses to sign indoctrination memo, calling it a ‘red line’
The memo was issued as a result of Senate Bill 37, an overhaul of the public higher education system passed by the Texas legislature that took effect in September. UH is one of several large state institutions imposing increased authority over course curricula in an attempt to comply with the law.

This dog is being called a "real-life Lassie" after helping find a missing 3-year-old boy in Kentucky. “I don’t know where the dog came from,” one officer said. “But it was a blessing from God that day.” We think the dog deserves some credit too, so we're awarding him our highest honor, a 15/10

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
