As a teacher, I'm particularly mindful of this and ask students to correct me. Publicly too.
Sometimes kids are insecure about it. So I'll chat with them later. "Hey, did I mispronounce your name?"
If teachers do this we can model correct pronunciation. It's a simple thing.

History education in high school is not designed to train students in the actual discipline of history, but rather to socialize them into the national project. In our case, that means the white supremacist settler colonial project.

Andrew Yang is making a coded "law and order" appeal - which is always a green light for more policing.
You know what I hear over and over again - that NYC is not enforcing rules against unlicensed street vendors. I’m for increasing licenses but we should do more for the retailers who are paying rent and trying to survive.
