New article out today, about the political violence of U.S. schools. Open-access. Explicit references to racial violence in here, so please take care if you choose to read.

@CharmaineSChua Haha, I would love to come to one you led virtually! But I meant maybe folks could put together some common resources that could be tailored and used by various campuses. I'd love to be mentored into organizing if/when I arrive someplace as new faculty.
@chezareaugustus For me, it all started with Are Prisons Obsolete?, but for folks just getting interested right now, I'd offer this.

The online version of this very important book is out! Check out our chapter on pushing back against idealized whiteness in teacher education. Such a pleasure writing with @DrDorindaCA and @BriMarkoff
@KieseLaymon:"Black children are worthy of the most abundant, patient, responsible kind of love and liberation this world has ever created. And we are worthy of sharing the most abundant, patient, responsible love and liberation with every vulnerable child on the planet." Genius.
I love this because I think it's true domestically too. How can we understand and take seriously the dreams of local communities for their kids as we seek to improve schools? How can we decolonize education research at home and abroad?
"There are culturally situated and local ideas of quality that don't necessarily align with these global or 'universal' ideas of quality in early childhood education." -Dr. Bethany Wilinksy #MSUTE901#TeaWithMe
"How are we understanding and fostering the sociopolitical awareness and devolvement of young people in this moment?" Dr. Bianca Baldridge #VirtualTeaWithMe#MSUTE901
Ruth Wilson Gilmore said, "I ask questions about how the relatively powerful local elites use the state to get what they want." How do powerful elites use schools to get what they want? #msute901
As a white researcher, can I contribute to the academic research base in ways that go beyond describing injustice, but actually create possibilities for liberation? #msute901
