We discuss how Trump's attacks on DEI, civil rights education, and historical truth echo the Lost Cause's efforts to rewrite America’s story & why reasserting the truth is a democratic imperative.
Ahmed, Ivory Kennedy, Stuart Cohen, Karen Scofield, and all,
Thank you for learning and sharing the best truth you can too. In America, the most important thing for all Americans to do is continue educating any unaware people about these major unprosecuted crimes and how and why electronic voting machines have never been valid, as HBO pointed out in Hacking Democracy (2006) (1:21:58) https://old.bitchute.com/video/jsHTV8JdIlAt/
Additionally, people are either intelligent enough to understand that fake man-made religion labels, books, symbols, and buildings were made by mankind, that Americans have a Republic not a Democracy scam, that there is no "left" or "right", or they're not. https://michaelatkinson.substack.com/
Such an important conversation. Another point regarding the shift towards intolerance in education is what happened during Covid- when the public ed system was forced online. I was a student teacher in a middle school social studies classroom and for my solo course I was teaching about US Slavery (concerning point… there are no common core standards for teaching this subject)—
When parents started bearing witness to what today’s educators (the generation of frustrated students who hadn’t been taught much of the ugly truth chose to become educators to make a difference) there was an intense and ugly reaction in households to the content and tone— that it was a moral failing of our social construction
Sorry for the sloppiness- I couldn’t see what I was typing— the shift away from honest teaching of what happened in this country is a really critical challenge— and I left teaching k-12 because I no longer saw it as the functional vehicle for change. Now I’m developing my artistry to activate my voice for change differently. It’s worth a shot at least. The back up plan is to enter community college where there might still be some freedom— but THIS is the battle. For sure. I had to design my own study in African American history because it just wasn’t being provided in my whitewashed schools. I’ve got significant gaps, but am forever grateful to Black Americans for speaking the truth through storytelling in all formats- especially music and literature— I’m just not much of a movie buff— although it was the first The Color Purple that woke me UP!
So much gratitude for truth talkers. And equally as much gratitude for indigenous wisdoms… which are not as culturally prominent but of critical importance.
thank you for taking up and talking in this space where your view can be heard and promoted.
Glad you recorded this, Ahmed. So much to keep up with that I missed the live.
Sure thing. It’s on of my favorite conversations. Hope you find some time to watch it!
Actually had watched the replay before I commented. Always enjoy your take on things.
thank you!! This was amazing!! I too am inspired to keep moving forward!! Looking forward to tomorrow's event.
So glad you liked it and are going to the teach-in!

Objective Reality— love that phrase!
Ready to end the silence… but it has been really important to learn enough to speak out. 🫡
