Curious how U.S. tariff policy helped fuel the Great Depression? In this Yo! Miss Lesson , I break down how protectionist policies like the Fordney-McCumber and Smoot-Hawley Tariffs backfired—deepening the global economic crisis. And yes, as the headline astutely asserts: Trump’s new tariffs would be laughed out of a high school economics or U.S. History class. If you appreciate my content, please...

Today, I gave a quick lesson to my students about Senator Cory Booker’s history-making moment yesterday. I highlighted the striking contrast between Senator Booker and Senator Strom Thurmond, focusing on how Booker broke Thurmond’s infamous record for the longest single filibuster in U.S. Senate history. Thurmond, a staunch segregationist, famously filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 to bloc...

However, fully abolishing the department n...

They tried to erase Jackie Robinson—and public pressure forced them to bring him back. The Department of Defense (DOD) quietly removed an article honoring Robinson’s military service as part of a larger purge targeting anything labeled “DEI.” The article, which had been on the DOD website for years, told the story of Robinson’s time in the Army, including how he was nearly court-martialed for refu...

The Trump administration’s recent moves to limit how we teach U.S. history is an assault on our democracy. With their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) measures, they are trying to whitewash the past, eliminating crucial discussions about race, identity, and the historical injustices that have shaped this country. It’s an attempt to control what students can learn about the struggles of margi...
