Congratulations to Sophie from George Washington Middle School for winning Virginia’s History Day competition. Her project is about the 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In, led by Samuel Tucker, a civil rights activist who pushed Alexandria to address racial injustice.

Discouraging but not surprising. We must commit time and resources to high-quality history and civics education. Our students deserve it; our society depends on it.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

National test scores showed a drop in students’ knowledge of U.S. history and civics, a sign that the pandemic damaged performance in nearly every academic area. But the latest results continue a nearly decade-long plunge as reading and math take priority. https://t.co/903xKjwDLR
