Never forgotten this passage of the Declaration of Independence from high school history class.

This right includes the power to institute a new government, founded on principles and organized in a form that leads to our collective Safety and Happiness.

Visiting Encinal High School in Alameda was great! I presented to several History classes. These high schoolers made me feel welcome and listened quietly as I told them about the brave folks fighting hate during WW2.

We covered this in class: The US Congress & about half the population were isolationists influenced by Nazis. FDR wanted US involvement MUCH earlier but politically couldn't do anything until after Pearl Harbor when Congress declared war. #highschoolhistory #payattention

Yesterday in #highschoolhistory we dug into January 6th.

We talked about:
- the procedural significance (a bureaucratic frill/furbelow, really)
- the events of 4 years ago (the distant past to teens, although most of them had a “oh YEAH! I remember that” response)
- what happened after
