Did you know that over 1.5 million Africans fought abroad for Britain in World War II? I bet you didn't.
When celebrating WWII heroes, Unknown Soldiers, and those who sacrificed for our freedoms, Africans are not mentioned.
Genocide enablers think the strategy can work in 2026.

Just published in Research in African Literatures:
"Micere Mugo and the Burdens of History: Notes Toward a Literary Biography", by yours truly.
The essay is about the family history of the late Micere, seen in relation to her writing. Read it here:

There are no college entrance exams in Canada. The system works just fine.
There are college entrance exams in the UK and China: there is evidence of mental health issues relating to standardized tests.
More than 1,100 University of California math and science professors are urging UC regents to reinstate college-entrance exams, saying that unprepared students are lowering academic standards and draining teaching resources https://t.co/b0v7Pnvfeh

Do younger, novice teachers work in more challenging classrooms OR are they more likely (than relatively more experienced teachers) to experience classroom management issues?
