This year, let's unpack anti-blackness in the Latinx community--not just in September, but year round. A thread.

It is a long-standing tradition at OU to recognize National Hispanic Heritage Month to celebrate the history, politics and culture of Hispanic people, locally and globally. See the full list of events here: https://t.co/xaa1UMh7aj #ThisIsOU #HispanicHeritageMonth @OUCMI

This is super messed up: Elite colleges are buying SAT scores, then recruiting students they know have no chance of getting in, all so they can decrease their admittance rate and look more exclusive.

If we go into teaching ready to 'save' the "deficient, dysfunctional, broken kids", we're immediately setting the conditions from the start in the classroom. We're carrying these damaging narratives into the classroom.

"There are so many ways that we make our schools unsafe, unwelcome places. There is a specific management of Black bodies that others don’t have to deal with."

#SchoolToPrisonPipeline
3 tough but necessary goals:
1) Reduce police presence
2) Transform school climate & culture
3) Restore transformative conditions when things go awry

Love, justice, and joy. Those words need to be in every classroom. This is where the work of educators needs to be centered. @drcrystallaura @Equity4sehs

[Dr. Danielle Ligocki @DanielleLigocki]

@drcrystallaura reminding us what love is in the classroom by quoting #bellhooks: "love is the action we take to enhance or alter our own or someone else’s well being."

"Educators need to wake up every morning ready to fight for social justice and equity in the classroom and if you’re not ready to do that in a pleasurable way, then you should go do something else." @drcrystallaura

@drcrystallaura
The way we think about people informs how we talk about them. The way we talk about them matters, and says a lot about us.

"You won't reach the students that you need to reach if you don't create plans through a critical lens." @drcrystallaura
We have to keep questioning 'it is what it is' and center our work in critical pedagogy.

Kicking off our School to Prison Pipeline Event with @drcrystallaura. Excited to listen and learn.

2.3 million people are currently locked up in the United States. Do we fall back on "it is what it is"? Or do we ask why? How? What can we do? @drcrystallaura @Equity4sehs #SchoolToPrisonPipeline

[Dr. Danielle Ligocki @DanielleLigocki]

The school to prison pipeline is a metaphor for a very real trajectory. It is often students of color, those with disabilities, those most marginalized who end up in this net. @Equity4sehs #SchoolToPrisonPipeline

[SEHS Committee 4 Equity Diversity & Inclusion @Equity4sehs]

Please join us tonight for a virtual conversation with @drcrystallaura on disrupting the #SchoolToPrison pipeline.

@Equity4sehs Appreciate this graphic. ‘Justice’ extends this concept when the fence is completely removed.
