1950s SPECIAL REPORT: "CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SPEAK OUT ON NEGRO STUDENTS INTEGRATING THEIR SCHOOLS

The desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, gained national attention on September 3, 1957, when Governor Orval Faubus mobilized the Arkansas National Guard in an effort to prevent nine African American students from integrating the high school.

Good People Doing Good Things -- Daisy Bates

This is a repost from Black History Month 2021, and one I feel well deserves being seen again. I’m going to do something a little bit different today.  My usual Wednesday ‘good people’ posts feature people who are doing good things for others, or for the planet, in recent days or weeks.  Today, though, I’m going to highlight a single good person who has been dead for 24 years now, but who, in…

so I had to look up a map of US timezones for reasons and I have been in crisis ever since

this is what the US timezones look like

THIS is my internal map

who let our time zones go through states I want a word

#what actually prompted this was learning that arkansas is on central time #listen. #arkansas is a Southern state. the South borders the Gulf (yes even the landlocked states) #the Gulf is the Atlantic. therefore all Southern states are in eastern time zone. #apparently my brain has been using that heuristic for years

Arkansas vs Black History

Arkansas has warned its schools not to offer any AP African American Studies courses, following along with Florida in trying to erase Black History from education. New legislation was passed in Arkansas this March which prohibits “teaching that would indoctrinate students with ideologies” such as the fact that racism plays a powerful role in the history of this country. Central High School, in…

Stolen from Facebook for the common good. (Sue me if you wish.)

Dear Huckabees,

Course selection

by Steve Straessle | August 28, 2023

When our middle daughter, a student at Little Rock Central High School, signed up to take AP African American Studies, my wife and I were on board. We were on board because the course piqued the most necessary ingredient of learning in a student: curiosity.

She's our fifth child. That makes her the wishing well of her older brothers and sister. They've pitched their coins of experience into her depths and she's turned them into something valuable and real.

Those who have big families understand the way the younger ones chart paths differently. The younger ones instinctively play the long game as their older siblings have gifted them the view of what comes next.

Then, there's the experience of her little sister.

We adopted our youngest several years ago. We realized we'd been waiting for her the entirety of our lives, and she brought to us the joy of difference. Alongside her different hair, skin, and eyes, came a different origin story that would be braided into our own. It still amazes me how this can ultimately be accomplished.

So, our middle daughter seized the opportunity to learn something academically challenging as well as intrinsically pertinent to her sister.

Central High is a National Historic Site, the scene of a civil rights battle fought right here in Little Rock. What a perfect setting to develop a better understanding of the African American experience. Our daughter has seen her parents' imperfect attempts to understand this phenomenon, and she's allowed for her family's history when it comes to race. She senses the most important aspect there is the will to improve.

These reasons inspired her to sign up for AP African American Studies. Regardless of what happens next, she'll stay in it. I've read that the course has been de-certified because of a technicality, one that the College Board and more than 200 universities disagree with. I've read the class may violate state laws preventing "indoctrination" in coursework.

It's obvious the reasons are less about education and more about the current state of politics.

In the meantime, my wife and I have an abiding trust in Principal Nancy Rousseau and Ms. Ruthie Walls, who teaches the course. We know they harbor no hidden political agenda in curriculum selection.

Rather, they're both excellent teachers who know to seize a unique moment and allow the great unfolding of education to take place in a historic setting.

It's our hope the material is complex and challenging and fulfilling. We hope our daughter and the other kids in class ask questions, work together, and breathe in the wisdom and care of Ms. Walls. That's how any class should uncoil, and we would expect nothing less. There's no danger here.

This course is an elective, one our daughter chose to take with the encouragement and support of her parents. It is part of her attempt to explore academic curiosity and pitch her own coins into the well of experience.

We can't wait for dinner-table discussions to come.

First appointment today with the audiologist and it went.. baaaaad. Not a good start. Basically said my ears look fine inside, made me feel stupid, told me I was rambling, just… blegh. I’m sure My memories about it are more negative than the actual event, but it really felt bad. So my hearing is just fucked. And I made ANOTHER appointment with my hearing aid doc, for May, but I’m not hopeful. Just going to hear more nothing advice. Depressing. So it’s almost 1am now. I’m incredibly depressed still. Still feeling hopeless and anxious and hard to focus. I didn’t want to be awake at night again, but I had to sleep today (benadryls and no sleep the night before will do that to you). I’m gonna do dishes and then probably go out for another drive later. Last nights drive was nice, and while I really don’t have the funds to keep buying myself little treats and wasting gas, I think needing to get through this period right now is more important. I have an appointment for my mental health in the afternoon where I’ll beg for some Xanax or something fast working to help while whatever new antidepressant I get on works its way into me. It’ll be okay. I mean, I want to disappear. I feel like a ghost living on a dead planet, but it’ll be okay. The sun doesn’t stop existing just because you can’t see it at night, so I just have to believe and hold on until it comes out again… or whatever. Something profound like that. Pretend I’m hopeful.

Anyway, here’s Oreo, who always wants attention. He’s napping next to me now, but was nice enough to raise his head for this pic when I poked him.

#Hey! #how bout all these text posts? #I added a cat pic because I feel bad choking your timeline without something worthwhile interjected #I’M! SO! ALONE! #hey… this is desperate and stupid and cringey… but… #if you live in central arkansas and want to send me a message just saying ‘hey I live here too!’ that’d be cool #I mean I probably wouldn’t really talk but there is something comforting knowing that there are actually people living nearby #I need to stop being awake at night while everyone is asleep #it doesn’t help the loneliness when no one else is out and about #I miss 24hr stores or gyms I could hang out in at late at night and feel like I’m actually in a living world #are you real? are you alive? #anyway the doctor today made me fill like shit #it’s all just basically ‘who fucking knows. get used to it.’ #first off: DEPRESSING. second: what if I need to get on disability if I can’t work a job? Third: VERY DEPRESSING! #I’ve been seeing doctors about this for what a couple of years now? and he makes it seem like I’ve barely done anything. #fuckiiiiiing…. dude…. not nice #maybe I can be a truck driver. that’d be cool. just sit in a truck all day. i like driving. that’d be very lonely tho #I need to reiterate that I CAN still hear. on good days my hearing is rad. I’ve just been having really bad days where everything is BAD! #my hearing actually cleared up a bit today and I can hear decently. but this persistent tinnitus is driving me crazy #my mom corrected me today and said ‘you’re not crazy… it’s DRIVING you crazy but you’re not crazy.’ #I thought that was funny. but it’s nice to know an actual other person can see how this is affecting me #anyway. it’s 1am. it’s too quiet which is never really quiet for me. I have the tv up. I drank coffee. I need to distract myself now. #okay I love you #you can ignore this #text
