@TheMikeWitt @EllenBees Not saying it's not good, just saying we don't need to keep space for it. Other books teach the same lessons and are more current/relatable for diverse student bodies.

@EllenBees Animal Farm. 1984. The outsiders.

@janzen_m @mbteachers @UM_Education @April_Waters @msmclauchlan @Niigaanwewidam @MB_Lib_Assn Also, in general since 40-50% of my students are Indigenous, I use that as a guide as to how much Indigenous content I use. Also: I usually just present it as 'content', not 'Indigenous content'

@janzen_m @mbteachers @UM_Education @April_Waters @msmclauchlan @Niigaanwewidam @MB_Lib_Assn Sherman Alexie 'absolutely true diary of a part time Indian' is common too. Also 'Looks like Daylight' is 'by' Deborah Ellis but is a collection of interviews of indigenous youth across North America and is basically their compiled responses to the interview questions.

@team_Leanne SO SHOCKED

[Eeee Beeee @ElisabethBteach]

@team_Leanne No need to stress! Two snow days! Check your email!!

Classic move by the province to announce on a Friday afternoon at 4:30.

[Maggie Macintosh @macintoshmaggie]

Masks will no longer be required in schools as of March 15… but divisions and individual K-12 buildings “can continue to order masks during this time of transition,” per the province #mbed #wfp

@team_Leanne Show it!

I was musing with neighbours today about whether they had ever seen such snow. They had not. Glad for it to be confirmed!

[Rob's Obs @robsobs]

Seasonal snowfall in Winnipeg as of Feb 20 now up to a whopping 156.6 cm. If we look at Winnipeg snowfall records, that would be the 3rd highest seasonal snowfall on record up to Feb 20th, and is even outpacing the snowy winter of 1996-97 to this point #MBstorm

Dropping masks & other mitigation efforts now is like stopping your 10 day course of antibiotics after the 3rd day because your fever is gone.

When I see some of the NYT's choices in Canada coverage despite the large number of Canadians who work there it makes me wonder about their coverage of other countries where they employ significantly fewer people from the area

Our family is not able to accurately assess our risk so that leaves us doing....nothing. No friends over, no outings indoors.... We are in full lockdown.

[Eeee Beeee @ElisabethBteach]

@bronwyn_dl @ChrisRWiebe This is 100% how my family feels. 4yo and 2yo and 4yo very prone to croup and has needed hospitalization multiple times to help breathe pre covid.

We don't know what to do.

[Dr. Faisal Moola @faisal_moola]

I was violently detained by police for carrying my sleeping infant daughter into my home w porch lights off. A white neighbour called the police on me for "breaking into my own home". The cops didn't hug me. They had me on the ground, screaming obscenities #WhitePrivilege

[daanis @gindaanis]

But you know what stops them? Whiteness stops them. We have known for years that white supremacists are joining police forces and the military to get training do you seriously think that this is not a tactical and strategic decision?

They are the ones hiding behind children

[daanis @gindaanis]

Former child welfare worker here. I have been present at many incidents where police removed children from parents much like the raid described. Sobbing, screaming, bloodied parents. These were racially or religiously marginalized children tho. Not white ones.

[Eeee Beeee @ElisabethBteach]

Well that's certainly troubling
