  • Your teacher's email leaves me wondering if she is trying to "gotcha" you in person where she feels more comfortable and in control of the situation. As a former history teacher, we often know barely more than the textbook, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the Korean War, so she may actually be curious to learn more





  • Gee I wonder what happened to the guys who killed Breona Taylor

    Edit: I think we should make a concerted effort to NOT call what happened in 2020 the George Floyd protests. Not to take anything away from his tragic death, but because George's killer faced a semblance of justice whereas Breona's did not. I also think it's a deliberate ploy to delegitimize the movement: George Floyd's name is the one we repeat, yet he was a less sympathetic character than Breona in many ways that liberals and white supremacists will cling to. George had a criminal record, he was stopped by police as suspect in a crime, he possibly had drugs in his system, his killer was found guilty. Breona was a medical first responder killed in her home by a no-knock police raid and her killers walked free. Their names have become propaganda and by saying one over the other, we play into it
