Ooooh somebody ask Hegseth if George Washington's troop vaccinations made Washington an 'un-american' leader.

With the amazing power to look right through the Constitution.

In unrelated news, Kash Patel has now expressed greater interest in this thing called "science."

I canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription a while back.
This news from @carlygoodman.bsky.social & co has convinced me to shift that subscription to @inquirer.com .

FWIW, the science-ed community has wrestled with this question for a long time. Creationists tried to push "academic freedom" bills that were exactly this: a quota for scientific ideas that otherwise could not hack it.
@ncse.bsky.social and @sarahposner.bsky.social made the case back in 2013:

Teen abstinence is also causing a terrifying decline in liquor store sales!
Plus STI doctors are going out of business!
It's a crisis!

Hey Americanists, et al: The "TBA" on the last day of my undergrad post-1945 US History syllabus is approaching and I'm looking for suggestions. Ideally, I'd like readings that rethink the era or puts the very recent past in broader perspective. I've got ideas, but I'd like options. Any thoughts? 🗃️

Just confirming that Made by History will now be back up and running in the next few weeks with a new home and new partners at the Philadelphia Inquirer. Exciting! So, if you have pitches, now's the time to start sending them to madebyhistory@inquirer.com 🗃️ #MadebyHistory #HistoryMatters

And take it from every middle-school teacher ever. The first thing every "Lil Donnie" says after he starts a fight, then loses said fight in a humiliating fashion: "But he started it."

"Yep, that's where it all started." A 1969 Lubeck editorial cartoon on the links between the moon landing and public schooling. The Sputnik launch was just 12 years before. And now... the admin is hollowing out NASA, privatizing space exploration, and gutting public education.

Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

How the Trump administration’s proposed panels would change President’s House The federal government's envisioned changes for the President's House glosses over the brutal treatment of enslaved persons and dilutes George Washington's role as an enslaver.

A lot has been said about Trump's executive order on "restoring truth and sanity to American history" that called for a review on displays at national parks that “inappropriately disparage Americans past or living.”

But what is Trump's admin vision for history? We got the answer in Philadelphia.
