You cannot call yourself a “culturally responsive” educator if your purpose is to raise test scores rather than to liberate young people’s spirits and ignite their intellectual curiosity.

Always good to be back at my alma mater, @Transy, but today was extra special as I returned to Cowgill to speak to Dr. Tiffany Wheelers’s Senior Seminar class on education & activism. A lot of memories in this place & confirmation that the future of education is in great hands!

@colmonelridge @Transy Colmon, thank you so much for coming to our class! My students were so inspired by your talk and are even more excited about teaching! Thanks for being such a strong advocate for public education.❤️
