Moms4Liberty Indiana chapter included Hitler quote in their newsletter. U.S. pres candidates (incl. RFK Jr) scheduled to speak at M4L events & accept their endorsement. Seems like a good time to integrate #medialiteracy ed into history and current events classes w/ students analyzing this poster:

For years I used the video for "Private Dancer" to teach students careful #medialiteracy observation skills, gender analysis, and how well constructed images tell stories. Thank you #TinaTurner . Rest in power.
