Short Notes: I’m Not Watching Avatar The Last Airbender, Either!

A few notes:

• If you haven’t heard, Teacher Magazine / EdWeek published my first article last week! Comment there and show a brotha love! [EdWeek]
• I haven’t watched Avatar with the blue people, and I’m not watching the real Avatar: The Last Airbender, either. I highlighted this post before, but it’s worth reading now. [Racialicious]
• Klein said enrollment into summer school will double. And it’s like no big deal. [NY1]
• Rand Paul has no idea what he’s talking about now. Was you was or was you ain’t voting for the Civil Rights Act of 1964? [Mediaite]
• I watched this live, but it’s worth noting: Keith Olbermann interviewed the GOP plant Alvin Greene. I wouldn’t be so assertive unless I saw this interview. [YouTube]
• Public intellectuals: men and women in the ivory tower or brain power for the proletariat? Imani Perry explains. [The Chronicle of Higher Education]
