We at ASSERT stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people who alone are enduring the brunt of Vladimir Putin’s aggression and self-aggrandizing motivations. While all war is anathema to human flourishing, wars of aggression seeking to subjugate free and independent peoples—represented today by the invasion of Ukraine—are particularly intolerable. The toll of human suffering on the part of the Ukrainian peoples is already being realized and will continue to multiply. The suffering of the Russian people, who neither asked for nor supported Putin’s adventurism, must also be added to this account.

Read more about Recorded Panel: "Teaching Beyond January 6th"Dear readers, I am taking the necessary step of making sure our contributing authors and issue editors receive a reprieve during the exploding coronovirus wave. Many folks are finding themselve back in isolation, attempting to work with kids who are now at home, many of them are mothers who bear the unequal burden of domestic responsibilities. We will return in March. Until then, be well.
In solidarity, from Canada
Cory Wright-Maley, Editor-in-Chief
