George Packer may be unpopular for this essay but it is right on the mark in my view. For years some ever-enlarging precincts of university curriculums have indeed created a crisis of our own making on campuses. Read and reflect? theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Hey everyone in teaching: Read Jennifer Berkshire!

Are some parts of the American left just as isolationist as MAGA maniacs and some Christian nationalists? And why? They need to be asked.
Watching pro-Palestine protests on my campus and in other cities. I fully support idea of immediate cease fire and intense pressure on Israel to step back. But WHERE ARE PROTESTS AGAINST REPUBLICANS FOR BLOCKING AID TO UKRAINE? WHY SO LITTLE CARE WHETHER PUTIN CONQUERS UKRAINE?
Hooray for Lois in winning the Tachau award. Teachers everywhere can be proud.

Some days, and today is one of them, the state of this country—the way we engage one another—feels like a heavyweight punch to the gut. The vitriol and hatred alongside rank stupidity and ignorance…my goodness.
Thanks to all of you who commented on the discussion the other night on Lawrence O'Donnell's "Last Word" about Nikki Haley's "history" and use of the 14th Amendment. We need a much larger historical discussion of this. Read Eric Foner's The Second Founding.
Thanks Jennifer. D
Stories like this one about how all the private religious schools now getting public tax $ are raising tuition make no sense - unless your goal is actually to widen inequality hechingerreport.org/arizona-gave-f…

@davidwblight1 Professor Blight, I was a student at GMI in Flint from 1971 to 1976. I'm well over halfway through your biography of Frederick Douglass. Excellent read. I'm am reading many books on black history and your book is a solid baseline that connects ante to post bellum.
We all hope everyone who can makes it to Saint Augustine for this important conference on teaching and the right to learn and read at Flagler. GLC is proud to co-sponsor. David Blight

Wow. A great review Jim. "Speculative non-fiction." Who invented that idea? Thanks for calling out this kind of history. History it is not. Younger colleagues and students need this reminder.

At the very first paper I ever gave (in Philly) long ago, Richard Blackett came up afterward to say well-done and took me for a drink. He is the best historian ever of Black abolitionism and we have been dear friends for decades. Go to conferences!

The best parts of conferences are spirited debates on plenaries or panels on large questions. I can even remember a few presidential addresses that lasted in my mind. Bill Cronon's on narrative, even if it was too long.

I don’t like to write negative reviews but this is fiction being passed off as history, all done in the name of historical recovery. Major media outlets have praised this book but few have asked historians to weigh in—who would call this out. It’s readable b/c it’s make believe.…
Kudos to Ta-Nehisi and to the courageous teacher.
Author Ta-Nehisi Coates sat silently through a school board meeting in South Carolina to support a high school teacher who was told to stop using his book on growing up Black in America in her advanced English class. apnews.com/article/tanehi…
OK. I've been holding off on this for a bunch of reasons, but it feels as tho it's time. Many of you may know of the wonderful early American historian Richard Bernstein (R. B. Bernstein). A prolific writer, a dedicated teacher, a generous colleague, and the truest of friends.
