[Merin Thomas | Maryland SMOB @statesmob]

Interested in Student Members on State Boards of Education? Here is an interesting map I created which tells whether a state has a Student Board member (SMOB) or not. It also tells whether that SMOB is voting, meaning their vote counts the same as other members when voting occurs

@24_angier @frednewspost Yay!!!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Help spread the word: From May 24 until July 4, Uber and Lyft will offer everyone in America free rides to and from COVID-19 vaccination sites.

@DMDForward @DMDForward You will be deeply missed by Team BCPS and more importantly by the students of Team BCPS. Thank you for your constant advocating on behalf of the students. And thank you for everything you did for me when I was SMOB. We love you Mychael!!

[Maryland Men’s Basketball @TerrapinHoops]

MOVING ON!!

FINAL: Maryland 63, UConn 54

[Deeksha Walia @Deeksha_Walia]

Why shouldn't the 1 person that represents students and who spents countless hours connecting with students have the right to vote? SMOBs across MD are one of the most informed BOE members. Ppl who think SMOBs are "too young" or "not mature enough" need to check their ageism.

[The Baltimore Sun @baltimoresun]

Two Howard County Public School parents have filed a lawsuit to strip the student school board member’s right to vote on issues before the board, after the student cast a deciding vote to keep schools from returning to in-person classes.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

This election is about so much more than @JoeBiden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.

[Deeksha Walia @Deeksha_Walia]

Voting by mail is a safe, simple, and time-tested way to cast your ballot from home. Head to https://t.co/cBTTn9yuTH right now to register to vote and request your mail-in ballot. And make sure to share this with your friends so they do the same!

[Deeksha Walia @Deeksha_Walia]

@KarynGinesi @OmerReshid @BaltCoSMOB @josieshaffer_ Thank you! No matter how much "they" try to tear us down. We will step up and continue the fight and the work. I can promise you that!

[Deeksha Walia @Deeksha_Walia]

Love that a former board member thinks SMOBs aren't "MATURE enough" to make their own decisions. And somehow are misled by "someone" else. I'd love to know who this someone is that somehow misled me bc of my so called immaturity. Don't you @BaltCoSMOB @OmerReshid @josieshaffer_ ?

[Deeksha Walia @Deeksha_Walia]

@oliviakeithley @BaltCoSMOB @OmerReshid @josieshaffer_ Thanks Olivia. And yes definitely work needs to be done. She tried to attack former SMOBs and former BCPS presidents but we all made sure our voices were heard. Proud of all BCPS student leaders.

[Deeksha Walia @Deeksha_Walia]

@BergmanDayana @BaltCoSMOB @OmerReshid @josieshaffer_ Thank you Dayana! Oh definitely. I clearly hit a nerve from the snarky and condescending responses I recieved from her.
