The GI bill, LBJ &poverty, #teachinghistory
A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.
I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly.
Political science professor Hakeem Jefferson argues for DEI's importance to de-monopolizing universities.

Erin does a great job of summarizing the terroristic attack on the rights of trans people represented by this EO.
But it also includes horrifying rules for the teaching of US history that relates to nonwhite persons, as well as wildly fascist “patriotic education” edicts. Lowlights, a thread:

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.
It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.
I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.
