I'm at the State Board of Ed meeting, where members expect to approve intensely debated social studies standards. We're off to a good start, with 3 Dems voting against the agenda after board chair Angelika Schroeder declined to add time to public comment. #edcolo#copolitics
There's a lot of technical problems with the livestream, but for folks who aren't here in person, the meeting is being recorded and will be available later.

Lots of people are sharing a Gazette editorial arguing Hitler was a socialist. The piece is a response to my reporting on State Board member Steve Durham's efforts to shape Holocaust education according to his own politics. #edcolo#copoliticsco.chalkbeat.org/2022/10/12/233…
The Gazette editorial quotes Hitler hating on capitalism. He did speak against capitalism and link it to predatory Jews — something antisemites still do. He also railed against Marxists and communists and linked them to Jews — something antisemites still do.

Listening to a webinar put on by CEA to connect medical professionals and educators about safe practices. Pediatricians note that medical professionals mostly have not spread COVID to their families.
Emphasis: Kids can do this.
Some younger kids might need two masks if they tend to chew on them or might need opportunity for an outdoor mask break.
