Now THE Common Ground Award goes to:
Keith Plessy & Phoebe Ferguson, descendants of the Plessy V. Ferguson case; a 1896 U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine.

Here's my message. A lot of Afghans would be vetted, SIVs, if Trump hadn't basically shut down the SIV program during his admin. After he left, state had mountain of 17,000 unprocessed applications to deal with. More Google, less tweeting for U, Yalie. npr.org/2019/05/01/718927688…

YES! We spend 13 years teaching students to read, write, do math, learn science...and then we try to cram civics into one semester in 12th grade. Too little too late, especially for students who drop out before then.
The answer for civics Ed is to start very early. High school is too late for many students! @EADRoadmap
