I focus mainly on the prism. You call this a book also about the intellectual history of the trump era, a title some might consider to be a timely oxymoron but what do you mean by an intellectual history .

Theres a lot that goes into manning a classroom. Reporter district spokesperson says if parents commit to joining a pod in the fall, the district hope it is families do it safely and that they offer slots to families with less means.
