President Biden is Our Modern Day Cincinnatus
I am feeling emotional about President Biden, as both an American and a United States History teacher.
President Biden has dedicated his life to our nation as a public servant. As President, he got our nation back on course after four brutal years of the Trump reign of terror and brought us out of a global pandemic. He enacted a bold legislative program that will be compared with FDR’s New Deal and LBJ’s Great Society. That’s exactly how it will be taught & written about by historians.
And, then, when he felt like he had to, he followed in the footsteps of our founding fathers and their dedication to civic virtue and put the nation above individual interests. President Biden is our modern day Cincinnatus. Here is my history lesson about how George Washington modeled himself after the Roman leader Cincinnatus.
I cried when I heard the news yesterday morning because I know President Biden has a big heart and loves America and this was a hard decision.
President Biden passes on the torch now to Vice President Kamala Harris and he will soon be known for helping us finally achieve our first female President.
What a great man.
Let’s carry on his legacy and make this happen.
I wrote about how I would teach about this historic moment for Share My Lesson.

Thank you President Biden! (I took this photo of him at the Jewish American Heritage Month event at the White House in May of 2023)

NO. And, please stop spreading this anti-science, anti-fact, pandemic-extending, child-disabling, people-killing lie - the lie that Biden himself spoke, and then promoted.
You lose all credibility promoting this untruthful social arson propaganda.
Teachers like you enhance your profession when you ground it with integrity into your humanity. This comes through in many of your articles and it’s especially clear in this one. The concept of Public Service has been well-served by Joe, Jill and Beau … and others including teachers like you. I have benefited from witnessing and reflecting on such life-affirming dedication. And, you are a member of my support network that helps me to maintain sufficient morale to keep going forward. I am grateful
