I'm certainly no writer - I blog mostly short policy wonk pieces on environmental policy and politics . I also sometimes post photos from my never ending road trip (I live and travel in an old short Skoolie), which I call "wandering the weird scenes inside the gold mine" on Twitter account.
My experience is that Public schools in the 60's were very good - they still taught history and civics (not yet fully unwound to "social studies") and I even had a 6th grade class in "critical thinking" where we would read The NY Times every day (this was during the Vietnam War, so there was plenty of propaganda to critique!). If a public school teacher were to touch on any of this now, they 'd be cancelled, fired or something worse.
Thanks. I started and had planned to use the substack account for posting photos, because I don't have to size reduce them as I must for my blog,
