Nicholas Kristof Instagram – I was in Mississippi reporting on a project about the state’s progress in education—and what do I stumble across in a second grade classroom but this poster telling kids about opinion writing. I wanted to take it back to the @nytopinion columnists’ row! I was seriously impressed by how much progress Mississippi has made in early grade education.
