For the record; I am not against women’s right to vote, and they should have been able to vote from the beginning. However I have trouble with the Voter ID argument.

Because if you require ID for everything in this country like buying alcohol, then don’t you think voting should require identification more than anything?

Hello,

What are a few book recommendations on women’s history in the U.S? (Aside from our textbooks) Any good memoirs?

Don’t you think that DEI goes against what Martin Luther King and the original Civil Rights Movement fought against?

Content of their character not the color of skin.

As a ‘minority’, and child of immigrants, I want to be accepted for who I am as a person, and not because Im Latino and will help a company or team meet a diversity quota.

To me it just seems like reverse racism because it revolves around skin color or background.

What can we do in terms of preventing censorship in Education, particularly in the field of history.

As a history major myself, and wanting to become a history teacher. How can we prevent certain things from being ignored in textbooks/ learning material?

Something that has been packed on the lady has talked about was that it’s very true. How now at this time that president has said stuff about transgender that are not really help as in like normal people who are not trying. She also talks about how it’s very important. The people who have anxiety or depression. They need help for example being there anything they need.

And some questions that I was left on was who left on now helping others for example, the people who are not from California they’re less helped also specially transgender. I also have a question and what the lady said that was in the meeting that supposedly they won’t have the recommendations of health I have been used to right now that they might change over the time of this year or other time and I wonder if they still will help.

What happens if the department of education is eliminated?

Have you heard of The Deep? It’s an amazing story that started with a group of music artists and has evolved and been retold in written form - which in itself is so cool. It conveys a message of history, both oral and electromagnetic. It’s really cool. Slight trigger warning: mentions of slavery and violence.

Mexican Voter Rights

Thank you for mentioning Southwest Voter Registration Education Project. They're still around. I remember around 2016 when we registered the low income voters in Hermosa Beach which I believe helped then Hermosa Beach City Councilwoman Nanette Barragan beat big bad establishment politician Isador Hall in the congressional race. BIG UPSET, NOBODY THOUGHT SHE WOULD WIN!

This was really informative, it pushed me to consider what the future of labor unions is taking considering Gen Z’s workforce trends, especially considering that unions were traditionally for manufacturing.
