All the more reason for good people to run for school board. Ignorance is never the better option.

2/ Only 9 states & DC require a year of U.S. government or civics, while 30 states require a 1/2 year & the other 11 states have no civics requirement. This is a crisis. I remember looking at footage of rioters at the Capitol thinking, “These people have no idea where they are.”

1/ We have to be intentional about rooting out conditions that led to the emergence of an authoritarian leader. Something we have to insist on is that American kids start learning civics again. Too many Americans have no clue how democracy works or what it is we need to protect.

No teacher should be forced to go back into the classroom. Their fear is legitimate. #SupportTheUnion

I’m talking about a time years ago, when the show was anything but washed up celebrities. And no, it was not just meaningless conversation. I remember that time. Perhaps you don’t.

The Larry King show was a glue that helped hold things together. “I wonder who’s on Larry King tonight?” didn’t have a Left or Right feel; the show was a smart, non-contentious family conversation we had each night. Was on it several times and he was great. He set a high bar. RIP
