André Ware @EyzwidopnImagine living in a country that touts itself as a beacon of liberty where all are "created equal", yet, every day you're reminded it's simply not true 4 you because you're Black. Imagine the trauma, frustration that daily assault wreaks on a Black person's being. Still, WE fight and WE rise 👊🏾09:30 PM - Apr 06, 2023

As I grade essays for my online course, it is indisputable that 30 of 40 students cheated.
My q is not how to prevent cheating.
The q is, what is the value of teaching/grading when cheating is the norm?

"For those who worry that standing up to Russia would just provoke Putin and drag the world into war - we only have to look at the history of the 20th century. Nothing is more provocative to a dictator than the weakness of free nations."
