The transition from in-person to remote learning in 2020 has disrupted students’ academic work. We’ve assembled a panel of academics to talk about how summer schools should be supporting students this year. Here, five experts explain what summer school does, and why it may look very different this year. Does voluntary summer school work?

Katherine LaNasa Looks LaNice

Katherine LaNasa was trained as a ballet dancer, which is likely how the New Orleans native got the moves to land Dennis Hopper as a husband. They’re not married anymore, but this easy rider moved onto French Stewart and then Grant Show. But her relationship with show-business goes back to 1990 when she was cast as a waitress in the film Catchfire. However, she didn't show off her business until 1996's Always Say Goodbye, wherein she lies naked in bed with her butt in the air. Katherine then kept her guard up through a number of projects before letting us glimpse her butt and boobs in the CBS series The Guardian. After this surprising network nudity, Kat could be seen sunbathing with lots of exposed skin in Two and a Half Men and exiting a pool in a revealing blue bikini in Valentine's Da...

It Looks Like The Black New Deal

It’s been two weeks since George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes until he died. It’s been almost as long since protests erupted in all 50 states and numerous countries across the continents of Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America—amid a global pandemic—calling for an end to police violence against Black people in the United States. But surrounding the central demands of the moment—of stopping police killings and holding them accountable when they don’t—there are systemic issues of racism and poverty that, if not addressed comprehensively, will ensure that any “reform” effort today will be short-lived. What kind of a solution born in this moment would address those systems? Turns out, it looks...

What an American Terrorist Looks Like

Despite racist and anti-immigrant scapegoating, data shows that most American terrorists are resentful White men inspired by White supremacist and misogynist rhetoric. “Invasion.” President Trump has used that very word about immigration at the southern border 19 times at rallies since he took office, according to a recent USA Today analysis. And six tweets between October 2018 and June 2019 use the word “invasion” that way. An arrest affidavit for 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, the man charged in the Aug. 3 mass shooting in an El Paso, Texas, Walmart that left 22 people dead and 24 wounded, reportedly says Crusius told police he was targeting Mexicans. Crusius allegedly referenced wanting to stop a “Hispanic invasion” of Texas in a statement on a right-wing online messa...

Dear White Women, Try On Our Struggle Instead of Our Looks

Last week, the story of a young Swedish woman in “Brown skin” went viral. Emma Hallberg, an Instagram model, says she identifies as White and never claimed to be anything other than, so no we don’t have another Rachel Dolezal here. But Black and Brown women took to social media with their disapproval. Some called it “blackface” and “cultural appropriation.” Turns out the young Swede is not the only White woman “blackfishing.” That is overly tanning themselves or literally spray-painting their bodies darker, in some cases wearing traditionally Black hairstyles and appearing to have augmented their bodies (lips, butt) to resemble that of Black and Brown women, and posting their photos on Instagram. Although I understood the upset and offense felt by many, I initially didn’t find t...
