A PTA mom was the shoo-in for a school board seat. Then a home-schooling Three Percenter entered the race. The campaign is a look at the far-right push into local power & the risks rural activists face to oppose it.

Teacher Twitter…I want to have my 11/12 lit class read a story next week, but not a Christmas story. Anyone know any good winter solstice stories, or stories about winter that don’t center Christian Christmas?
Any #ela teachers have tips for how to help HS students distinguish between the author and the narrator of a story?
Why can’t Carisi and Rollins just make out already? #SVU (so I’m watching season 22 ep 4 so this tweet may be moot)
#teachertwitter this year, I bought these to have in my classroom…I don’t love am*zon but I do love a deal…and lots of my kids come to school having just rolled out of bed. I think this will be a welcome addition to my pads/tampons/bandaids/masks drawer amazon.com/Adult-Pre-Pasted-…

As well as an article about marking the text by Adler, but 1/2 of my students from last year are in the class this year, so I need something fresh
Has anyone heard about @FulbrightTeach #tgc program for the 2021-2022 school year yet? I thought I would have heard either way by now…

Really cool profile of the economic and political fight that the Chehalis tribe underwent to open the Talking Cedar distillery (which, btw, is super cool)

#teachertwitter I am looking for a short story or poem written by a Haitian author…my 9th grade world history class spent most of the last quarter learning about the Haitian Revolution and the legacy of colonialism that has left Haiti as the poorest country 1/2
