I started with app.net as either jgordon or johngordon. Then to Twitter as @jgordonshares. My avatar features our dog Kateva who passed a few years ago.

Gordon is my middle name. I distrust the righteous, mobs, and especially righteous mobs. I’m basically a hated liberal with sympathy for just about all.

I know things about primary care medicine, medical informatics, and special needs. For fun I road, singletrack and snow bike, XC ski, in-line skate, travel, play hockey, and do CrossFit.

70 years after the Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board, one of its most significant side effects − the large-scale loss of Black teachers − continues to affect America’s schools.
Before Brown, Black teachers were 35% to 50% of the teacher workforce in segregated states.
Today, Black people account for just 6.7% of America’s public K-12 teachers.

@TheConversationUS @histodons @blackmastodon How much of that percentage reduction came from black women having other options (medicine, engineering, finance, academia, etc?)
