I made my 3 chairs discussion format virtual! Use it in your classroom for complex, inclusive, structured, & engaging discussions. Break away from a simple debate. PM me if you want to know more. #sschat #edchat

Republicans who say we can't impeach a president 10 days before an inauguration had no trouble confirming a Supreme Court justice 8 days before an election.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Since it appears GOP leaders need a reminder:

There is no “healing” from this without accountability.

And there is no “unity” with white supremacists.

You know the President’s state has devolved dangerously. If you’re too weak to do anything about it, you’re too weak to serve.

The time will come for teaching the many contexts of this moment. But for many communities and students, these images and existential threats of violence may invoke fear or trauma. Here are ways to attend to the right now. Please take care. https://t.co/CeFbFynECJ

Donald J. Trump should immediately be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate as soon as Congress reconvenes.

This is dangerous & unacceptable.

[Sam Wineburg @samwineburg]

We begin by helping them understand that words have consequences. Violence begins with verbal incitement. That’s where we start.

i'm not an expert on the law so i'm not 100% sure but i do feel like it is illegal to storm the capital to stop democracy

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

The House should immediately pass new articles of impeachment against the President by the end of today for inciting insurrection against the United States Congress.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

This is a coup. This is an insurrection. This is domestic terrorism. This is gun violence. This moment will shape how young people see the country for the rest of our lives.

[Sam Wineburg @samwineburg]

History teachers of the land: I don’t care which side of aisle you sit on, Republican or Democrat. What we are witnessing violates everything you’ve ever taught your students.

Leftists shouldn't be criticizing Elon Musk, they should be praising him. If every billionaire went on twitter like he does to write every thought that popped into their brains, we'd have communism in a year.

@EricKaneTV Thanks for the update! Will they continuing to the Common?

(3/3) ...and as far as I'm concerned, not believing that Black lives matter is 1) inhuman; 2) ignorant; 3) idiotic; 4) ahistorical.

#edchat #sschat HERE'S YOUR PERSPECTIVE ✊ 🙃

[Alli Poirot @Ms_Poirot]

(1/3) Speaking of #richkid #privateschool, I was recently told that a colleague having a "Black Lives Matter" sign in her background during a Zoom awards ceremony was not OK, because "that may be controversial".

[Alli Poirot @Ms_Poirot]

(2/3) Also, in a department meeting today, a colleague asserted that "there are multiple perspectives" and "not everyone is a Democrat".

OK, but everyone is HUMAN, and in this department, everyone is also A HISTORY TEACHER...
