#Texas can require the #TenCommandments to be displayed in #PublicSchool #classrooms, a #US appeals court ruled Tuesday in a victory for #conservatives who have long sought to incorporate more #religion into schools.
It sets up a potential clash at #SCOTUS over the issue in the future.
The ultra conservative #5thCircuit Court of Appeals claimed in the decision that the #law did not violate either the #EstablishmentClause or the #FreeExerciseClause of the #FirstAmendment.

This whole #robot #teacher thing exposes just how fiscally irresponsible #conservatives really are.
Paying existing teachers a competitive #wage and providing decent supplies, even along with tablets for the kids, would be monumentally cheaper than installing robots in #classrooms that could actually survive one day with a room full of American kids.

One Source, Multiple Versions, Many Perspectives: Teaching Key Documents in U.S. History

Posted by: Colleen Smith, January 27, 2026

This blog post is by Lee Ann Potter, director of Professional Learning and Outreach Initiatives at the Library of Congress. 

At the recent annual meeting of the American Historical Association (AHA) in Chicago, I presented a K-16 teacher workshop titled “Revolutionary History Teaching.”  As the title suggested, I engaged participants with primary sources and teaching strategies related to the American Revolution.

To introduce an activity focused on the Declaration of Independence, I asked the participating teachers if they invited their students to read the founding document.  They all said yes, doing so was part of their regular approach in both history and civics classes.

“Which version?” I asked, to which I received few responses and many quizzical looks.

I proceeded to divide the teachers into smaller groups and provided each with a facsimile of a different version of the Declaration. The versions I shared included:

• Thomas Jefferson’s “original Rough draught” of the Declaration of Independence, written in June 1776, including all the changes made later by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and other members of the committee, and by Congress. I included Professor Julian Boyd’s reconstruction of it.
• The Dunlap Broadside, the first printed version of the American Declaration of Independence.
• The Pennsylvania Evening Post, July 6, 1776 (page 1), the first newspaper printing of the Declaration.
• The Goddard Broadside, Printed by Mary Katharine Goddard, in Baltimore, MD, 1777.
• The Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789, Volume 5, pages 509-518 (that focus on July 4, 1776).

I encouraged the teachers to read their versions, to consider their students’ capabilities and background knowledge, as well as their course objectives, and to discuss within their small groups the associated pros and cons of inviting students to read their version rather than simply the document’s text.

Then we engaged in a larger group discussion about each version.  The group with The Pennsylvania Evening Post was particularly interested in the advertisements that also ran in the edition and discussed how news was shared and spread in the 1770s; the group with the Dunlap Broadside also discussed the sharing of information and noted that the names of most of the delegates to the Second Continental Congress were missing, but they were present on the Goddard Broadside; the Goddard Broadside also prompted curiosity about Mary Katharine Goddard; those reading the rough draft commented on the value of sharing rough drafts with students and suggested that the section related to slavery, that was not included in the final document, would be of particular interest to their students; and the Journal was described as providing an interesting play-by-play of the document and other events and issues from the perspective of Congress.

Our conclusion after a rich discussion: Sharing multiple versions of the Declaration with students may encourage knowledge of its contents to transform into curiosity about its context.

Have you tried a similar approach with other seminal documents?  If so, what have the results been? Please share your experience in the comments!

#Atheist
Why would your all-powerful god need or accept help from the United States of #America #government?

Does your (Christian?) #god need to force the posting of its #10commandments in #classrooms, that even the POTUS doesn't adhere to?

Does your god need financial help in indoctrinating children in supposedly secular schools?

The new #Christian #religion is really confusing. And maybe that entity could publicly and loudly and very clearly simplify it for residents of Planet Earth.

#Nearsightedness is at epidemic levels – and the problem begins in childhood

Published: April 24, 2024 8:37am EDT

"Globally, a big part of this is due to the rapid development and industrialization of countries in East Asia over the last 50 years. Around that time, young people began spending more time in #classrooms reading and focusing on other objects very close to their eyes and less time #outdoors.

"This is also what researchers observed in the North American Arctic after World War II, when schooling was mandated for #IndigenousPeople. Myopia rates for #Inuit went from the single digits before the 1950s to upwards of 70% by the 1970s as all children began attending schools for the first time."

‘I don’t want to talk to the #gay one’: #LGBTQ #teachers fight #erasure in their #classrooms.

The #surge in bills to #restrict discussion of #pronouns, #genderidentity, and #sexuality fuels a #culture of #audacity, #boldness, and #intolerance among #conservative #parents and #administrators.
