Posted onJanuary 3, 2018February 7, 2019 By David Perry

New at Pacific Standard: Right before Christmas, Jeff Sessions rolled back key disability rights protections. More is likely coming: What seems to be happening, according to Eve Hill and numerous other disability rights advocates to whom I spoke, is that the Sessions Department of Justice is siding with sheltered workshops. Sessions has a well-known general … Continue ReadingThe Attack on Olmstead

Jeff Sessions is Anti-Inclusive Education

Posted onNovember 29, 2016February 7, 2019 By David Perry

My latest. "In December, the historian Monica Green published a landmark article, The Four Black Deaths, in the American Historical Review, that rewrites our narrative of this brutal and transformative pandemic. In it, she identifies a “big bang” that created four distinct genetic lineages that spread separately throughout the world and finds concrete evidence that the plague was already spreading from China to central Asia in the 1200s. This discovery pushes the origins of the Black Death back by over a hundred years, meaning that the first wave of the plague was not a decades-long explosion of horror, but a disease that crept across the continents for over a hundred years until it reached a crisis point."
