Saturday Link Love: Anti-Semitism, George Washington, and the School-to-Prison Pipeline

Saturday Link Love is a feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier!

When Non-Jews Wield Anti-Semitism as Political Shield, on GQ—“Meeting with the ambassador of Israel to offer comfort to American Jews affected by white nationalist violence underscores exactly for whom these comments—about ‘anti-Semitic,’ about ‘anti-Israel’ sentiment—are being made.”

I refuse to honor George Washington, and other ‘founders’ who enslaved and sold human beings, on Daily Kos—“‘Washington as Farmer at Mount Vernon,’ 1851, part of a series on George Washington by Junius Brutus Stearns. My title would be ‘George Washington as plantation slaveholder.'”

Black Children and the School-to-Prison Pipeline, on Zora—“I always strove to give my daughter access to good schools in “safe” areas, but an experience in a public school has taught me how students of color, even in well-resourced schools and neighborhoods, can fall victim to the school-to-prison pipeline.
