Brief Statement Why would anyone seek to oppress, deny, or diminish the extraordinary service of African American heroes who gave their lives and courage for this nation? Their sacrifices are woven into the fabric of our democracy. More important, we do not need permission or consent to remember our heroes — their legacy belongs to all of us, and it must be honored without erasure.

📘 Lesson Plan: Standing Against Erasure – Honoring Black Military Heroes

🎯 Learning Objective

Participants will understand the contributions of African American military heroes across U.S. history and recognize why preserving their legacy is essential to democracy.

🌟 Learning Outcomes (with Examples)

By the end of this short session, participants will be able to:

1. Identify at least three African American military heroes and the battles where they served.
   • Example: Name Peter Salem at Bunker Hill (1775), Henry Johnson in the Argonne Forest (1918), and Alwyn Cashe near Samarra, Iraq (2005).
2. Explain why recognition of these heroes was often delayed due to racism.
   • Example: Describe how Freddie Stowers was denied the Medal of Honor until 1991, 73 years after his death, and how Vernon Baker only received his Medal of Honor in 1997 after decades of systemic discrimination.
3. Reflect on why erasure of these stories undermines democracy and justice.
   • Example: Discuss how removing names of Black heroes from bases or ships while glorifying Confederate generals erases the sacrifices of patriots who defended the Union and freedom.
4. Commit to one personal action (sharing, writing, contacting leaders) to resist erasure.
   • Example: A participant pledges to write a blog post about Shoshana Johnson, the first Black female POW, or call their congressman to demand protection of military history that honors African American heroes.

📝 Assessment

• Quick Recall Activity: Ask participants to name one hero from the Revolution, one from WWII, and one from Iraq.
• Discussion Prompt: “Why would anyone want to oppress, deny, or diminish this kind of service to our nation?”
• Exit Ticket: Each participant writes one sentence on how they will help preserve the memory of these heroes (e.g., talk to family, post online, contact a representative).Comments: educatorsocialscience@gmail.com

Example Complaint Letter

[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date]

To: Chief of Police, [City Police Department] [City Council Representative’s Name] [City Council Office Address]

Subject: Failure to Enforce Panhandling Ordinances and Livability Standards

Dear Chief [Name] and Councilmember [Name],

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding repeated failures of the police department to respond to violations of city ordinances governing panhandling and public safety.

On [date] at [location], I reported panhandlers engaging in conduct that is clearly prohibited under city law, including:

• Standing in the street and obstructing traffic.
• Aggressive solicitation near ATMs and business entrances.
• Harassing customers outside storefronts.
• Leaving trash and drug paraphernalia in public spaces.

Despite my report, (state your position). This lack of enforcement undermines public safety, violates the city’s own ordinances, and creates livability issues for working families and businesses.

City ordinances in (your city) prohibit the conduct expressed herein, yet these violations continue unchecked.

I respectfully demand:

1. A written explanation for why no response was provided to my complaint.
2. Assurance that future violations will be addressed promptly.
3. Accountability measures to ensure ordinances are enforced consistently.

Working families should not have to tolerate unsafe and unlawful behavior in their neighborhoods. There is no need to feel guilty for not giving these people anything when passing by. What is needed is enforcement of the law and protection of citizens who follow the rules.

If the police department continues to fail in its duty, I will escalate this matter further through additional complaints, public testimony at council meetings, and community petitions demanding accountability.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

Christmiss vs. Christmas

Attaching Christ’s name to pagan rituals is a distortion, not devotion; the wordplay “ChristMiss” makes the warning memorable, while the subtitle phrase “Is Not Honoring Christ” delivers the pastoral rebuke with unmistakable force.

Family Lesson Plan: Merry ChristMiss — Understanding Pagan Roots of Christmas

Intro

My lesson plan is designed to carry the full weight of my essay’s content — including tree‑worship, sun‑worship, Saturnalia feasts, Yule logs, Santa myths, deception, and the call to holiness. This is my clear, family‑friendly format. The material is distilled into two sharp objectives and outcomes so that families can grasp the biblical critique of Christmas traditions and apply it directly to their lives.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify the pagan origins of Christmas traditions Example: Recognize that decorated trees (Jeremiah 10:2–4), sun‑worship (Ezekiel 8:16), Saturnalia feasts, Yule logs, and Santa myths are condemned practices rooted in heathenism, not scripture.

2. Commit to holiness by rejecting pagan practices and obeying Christ’s commands Example: Choosing prayer, scripture study, and obedience (John 14:15; 1 Peter 1:16) instead of Santa myths, commercial gift‑exchange, or tree‑worship.

Learning Outcomes

1. Family members can explain why Christmas practices are pagan intrusions into worship Example: A child can say, “The Bible warns against tree‑worship in Jeremiah 10, so Christmas trees are heathen, not holy.”

2. Family members affirm obedience to Christ through separation from heathen customs Example: Together, the family declares: “We choose holiness over heathen customs. Happy Heathens Day instead of Merry Christmas.”

Assessments

1. Verbal Presentation Assessment

o Each family member gives a short 2‑minute explanation of one condemned practice (tree‑worship, Saturnalia, Yule logs, Santa myths).

o Example: A child explains, “Santa is a lie because Revelation 21:8 says all liars will have their part in the lake of fire.”

o Assessment checks understanding of scripture and ability to verbally connect practices to biblical condemnation.

2. Acting/Role‑Play Assessment

o Family members act out a short skit contrasting pagan customs with holy obedience.

o Example: One person pretends to decorate a Christmas tree, while another reads Jeremiah 10:2–4 aloud and rebukes the practice.

o Assessment check's ability to dramatize the difference between heathen imitation and biblical holiness.

Bio: Moe Jackson

My first experience with firearms was in 2022 at a pawn shop. I held one for the first time—a Glock 44—then went to get my permit to purchase and bought it. A couple of weeks later, I took it to the range, fired those first few rounds, and immediately knew my life had changed from just a few shots of .22 LR. From that point on, I began researching day in and day out, learning everything I could about that gun, the rules around owning and using it, and the history of firearms in general.

Not long after, I purchased a second Glock chambered in 9mm and enrolled in an online gunsmithing school to deepen my knowledge. Around the same time, I was hired at a local gun store and range, with the hope of eventually working alongside the gunsmiths there. As I quickly discovered, many of the more intensive jobs require more than online coursework, but I am steadily progressing. In the meantime, I have learned a great deal from the gunsmiths—how to properly maintain firearms, what concerns to watch for in different designs, and how to resolve common issues with ease. I am grateful for their willingness to share their expertise and help me continue on my journey.

As a range safety officer, I have also gained valuable insight into the common issues and mistakes people encounter when selecting a firearm for home protection, concealed carry, or recreational shooting. One of my favorite aspects of the job is helping to dispel misconceptions about various firearms and guiding people toward the most appropriate choice from a practical perspective, rather than one based on optics or politics. Especially when choosing a weapon for self-defense and the protection of loved ones, there is much to consider—not only the firearm itself but also the equipment, training, and mindset required to ensure it fulfills its role should the need ever arise.
