chat thread 2021: if you fill up garbage cans with gas it will evaporate
Just talked about Goldwater-Nixon-Reagan and the conservative alliance of free market capitalists and religious conservatives. The importance of Roe v. Wade and how this was a response to the rights revolution. I actually used this Crash Course video to introduce it and had my students discuss and answer questions about it, including making parallels to today's domestic politics. Then my kids did a Watergate "investigation" the second half of class.

Nah we didn't get that deep into it. Sadly there's just not enough time. I'm one of the few teachers that actually makes it all the way through American history, but I'm in power mode right now because they moved our exams up a week.
interesting. what'd you teach? might be a part of my diss.
Mont Pelerin Society --> 60s counterculture reaction // Goldwater --> 80s conservative media --> ???
