Guns silence thousands of lives every year. "The Shotline" was created to bring these voices back using AI technology in order to call our representatives. I just placed a call to @JohnBoozman using one of these voices, and you can join me. https://t.co/9ZT2CDYhAh
@AliVelshi@blakerutherford This course is under attack because it does bring up a more sophisticated methodology from historiography, anthropology, etc. and uses significant amounts of primary sources and ways to engage with them. They place it under the umbrella of CRT and other “bad things.”
@AliVelshi@blakerutherford he course in question is AP African-American Studies, not history. Referring to it as history, as you and others mistakenly have, is understandable and makes sense rhetorically, but it opens you to the retort that AP African-American History is already being taught.
@AliVelshi@blakerutherford Will you be posting video of today’s show? The discussion re: Arkansas AP African-American Studies and other Sarah Huckabee Sanders actions around it. I’m a teacher at Central and often post on stuff and would like to put a couple questions in play. Thanks

The school choice folks want schools to be training grounds for prison. The student/inmates will walk around in straight lines and salute the picture of the Dear Leader, while the rich kids and well-connected walk their plush halls and have the safety of gun free schools.
It’s been the honor of my life to serve District 86 as their State House Representative. I want nothing more than to serve again & I’m thankful that Scott Crosby @burchporter is representing us alongside @brotherjones_ & @EricHolder. May we continue to build this Movement! #TN3
@SarahHuckabee Indoctrination pushes UNCRITICAL acceptance of truths, sort of like what Sarah Huckabee Sanders and theocracies do, whereas critical (studies, theories, thinking, etc.) are among the greatest accomplishments and self-correcting mechanisms of humanity.
