Florida education... reminds me that it is always a good day to promote Antiracist #APUSH https://www.antiracistapush.com/ . A high school #HistoryTeacher uses the AP US History framework itself and the main #USHistory text as sources to explore the persistence of White supremacist, patriarchal narratives.AP history classes are more flexible than many teachers claim. They default to legacy narratives, but they do not need to.

@publius @historianess Strawman!Nobody advocates whole language only. Balanced literacy is the approach being attacked in the well-written, shallowly-researched pieces like this.

@publius *citation needed, for the claim about thousands of primary school teachers.In these debates peoples own experiences (like Kristoff observing other people's children learning *purely phonetic* language coding) hold much more sway than evidence.Please see my later Toot for the range of evidence that I am using. I am not an expert, but "science of reading" is journalistic claptrap and "balanced literacy" is a research-based approach.

@publius Sounds like the issues that you are facing are well beyond phonics. I am sorry to hear about those problems, and I will be exiting this conversation.

@jbowen @Chron indeed. Seems like the problem is more related policies than to politics.

"It doesn’t need to be the case that Trump has stashed his Administration with actual Russian agents — narcissism and venality explain much of what we’re seeing — but there are somewhere between two and twenty Trump advisors who I have good reason to suspect are Russian agents. Over the past three years, right wingers have forced the tech platforms to eliminate the moderation that had provided visibility on Russia’s influence operations."
