As a retired teacher who has fled the US and is now living in Spain, and as someone who has until now eschewed most forms of social media, I am belatedly beginning to create an online presence. To that end, I am using this WordPress website to archive some of my miscellaneous non-academic writing. I hope that some of my friends and former colleagues may enjoy this collection, which consists mainly of political editorials, light-weight essays, and silly poems. I also post here the latest version of my US History textbook, Key Moments in American History. View all posts by murraymcclellan

It has been a long strange trip, and this year of lock down, loss and separation leads one to consider how our time will end. The pictures of corpses being picked off the street in India have shaken me to the core. The horror of struggling to breath….that is what keeps me up at night.
