My Recent Op-Ed piece. “When tortillas were thrown at Orange Glen students, their reaction was the reaction of Latinos everywhere, including myself: It was racist, demeaning and deserved an apology.” Defending racism alienates Latinos. @Telemundo20@sdut@KUSINews
@SliceMagazine Beyond grateful for the welcoming literary community you built and the chance to be a part of it. You will continue to inspire story-lovers and -tellers everywhere, I'm sure!
"I taught [critical race theory]...at Harvard Law School...at Yale Law...at UC Berkeley School of Law.Notice the theme...To say that [CRT] is being taught in K-12 schools...what conservative activists have been claiming, is to deny what critical race theory is"

Following the Vietnam War, our country welcomed 120,000 refugees in a single year.
Yet the United States has only taken in ~2,000 Afghan refugees thus far.
We have a duty to save lives — and to do so, we must welcome many, many more refugees as quickly as possible.

Let’s be clear: there has never been, and will never be, a U.S. military solution in Afghanistan.
Our top priority must be providing humanitarian aid & resettlement to Afghan refugees, women, and children.
It was never about CRT, equity, or indoctrinating kids. It was always about erasure.

@brycebroadcast@FullTimeHoops1 @BleavPodcasts Such an insightful episode- about the incident and how to move forward.
