For our “popular government” to succeed, the Founders believed that Civic Virtue was required of all citizens, particularly our highest elected leaders, who have specially granted powers and influence. What is the way forward? Moral excellence, and certainly NOT militia violence.

Roger Billings’ Acellus discontinued for the ENTIRE STATE OF HAWAII. The first entire state to do this. Impressive. #Acellus #AcellusExposed

Loom has become absolutely essential to my remote teaching. So grateful for this tech. Not only for class instructional vids, but also individual emails with students. It’s just better to show a student how, directly with a Loom vid, than to write a confusing explanation. @loom

Educators, our most essential teaching skill is empathy. Many students come to us from toxic homelives, stressful work situations, or places of uncertainty. We are that touchstone between their lives today and what they can be tomorrow. #Teachers #teachertwitter #AcademicChatter

Not having a voice in reopening plans. Choosing between your children and your students. Teaching students online and in-person at the same time. Working twice as hard without a pay increase. For many, this is teaching in 2020. #teachertwitter #teachers

Acellus came under intense scrutiny after news outlets surfaced the platform's content.

The stories also raised claims that Acellus’ creator Roger Billings was the leader of a “religious sect,” a Mormon offshoot called the Church of Jesus Christ in Zion. https://t.co/dAS77ojyx9

EXCLUSIVE: A @ozm investigation has revealed alarming details about the fringe community connected to Acellus, a widely adopted online learning program in the U.S. https://t.co/nmBaDt1CYR

Correction: Roger Billings didn’t create these pink slime journalism sites - I think what might be happening is that since these are algorithmic ‘news’ sites, Billings is gaming the algorithm to get stories to appear on the sites that have Hawai'i in the name

[Alexander C. Kaufman @AlexCKaufman]

Schools are relying on learning software made by Roger Billings, a Christian cult leader accused of physical and mental abuse, sexualizing kids and separating families.

Making it even weirder, Billings go this start as a big advocate of green hydrogen.

Metric Media Foundation is headquartered in Missouri, which is also where Roger Billings lives and where Acellus and his fake university HQs are. Wonder if there’s a connection...

Metric Media News, which runs “Aloha State News” in addition to hundreds of other “pink slime journalism” outlets, is owned by conservative businessman Brian Timpone. https://t.co/NAjQYfMbze

@ParlierHigh Oh, you mean this Acellus, by Roger Billings? Your students deserve better. https://t.co/WH25oDlPlv
