Another White Male Writer: A poem for Wednesday By Mahogany L. Browne

"Has written about poetry being dead as if no other stanzas / have been structured to decolonize the page in the past 100 years. // The contemporaries fail to pique his interest. Such a fickle heirloom, / to suggest something has died because you see no value in its pulse."

Teaching Texas

In 1961, Norma and Mel Gabler were a quiet couple living in Longview, Texas. One day, they noticed some factual errors in one of their sons’ textbooks. What began as a small complaint morphed into a multi-decade crusade to shape what children of Texas ​​— and therefore the country — read in their textbooks. In an election year with raging debates around education, this audio documentary charts how Texas dictated American education over the last sixty years and examines how the fight over our childrens’ classroom has only intensified today.

Thanks to my friend Glenda for recommending this podcast. It’s enlightening and harrowing.

We are creating generations of learners who see education more as a series of obstacles to avoid than as a means of living complex, meaningful, capable lives.

I have really appreciated the learning I am gaining through Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead. I learned about it at the #CEL22 conference.
