MO State Rep. Phil Christofanelli (R) criticizes fellow GOP Rep. Ann Kelley's anti-LGBT school bill.

PC: Who is Martha Washington?
AK: [George Washington's] wife.
PC: With your bill, how could that be mentioned in the classroom?
AK: That's not sexual orientation.
PC: Really?

Wish I could be in person with @BaltCoPS and @HCPSS leaders at @MdPublicSchools today but I am grateful for technology that allows me to still support planning for inclusive math instruction in their elementary schools

@JSIiams @TheRealTimVegas yes, "specialized" educators refers to interventionists (e.g., reading specialist who provides reading interventions) and multilingual teachers as examples. the "special" term is the issue... it has become a euphemism for perceiving kids who "can't" or teachers of "those" kids.

[Carol Quirk @CQ_MCIE]

This is not Ok. This is hate speech, bullying, and hurting my heart.

@abcnews again pumping out a narrative of beneficial/benevolent disability segregation & "choice" - interviewing parents and service providers NOT disabled people. Also "children grouped according to their verbal ability and skills" is so problematic. https://t.co/3Fw4X22rhb

[Eddie Fergus Arcia @EddieArcia]

This eugenics-like argument, i.e., Black children are readily exposed to poverty thus have compromised human development, speaks to the dimensions of anti-Blackness within research. https://t.co/2wBt2IYL9G
