    In the January issue of Teachers.Net Gazette, teacher Sharon
    Thomas writes:

    Conspiracy theories are sexy. They are mysterious, complex,
    and brooding. They make film (and books and television and
    family reunions) fun. As with JFK, however, they rarely hold
    up in the light of day.

    In schools (surrounded by the smell of overcooked leafy
    greens, the faces of America’s youth, and the mysteries of
    large-scale HVAC), we are quick to believe conspiracy
    theories, too, and it is time we knock it off. [Click below
