I will not stop fighting for my kids. They are part of the most underserved and underrepresented population in our country. I know CLA is the best learning environment for them. #saveCLA @DaleFolwell @AmyWhite4Him @JEFordNCTOY @JBBuxton @TabariWallace @FreebirdsShire @tarhokie

My kids work tirelsssly every day to overcome academic, emotional, and social barriers that have been in place systematically their entire lives. My students deserve more than to be reduced to a test score. They deserve more than to be compared to dirt sandwiches. #SaveCLA

I have taught my students to rise in adversity! Today I feel defeated by a system whose spokesperson is filled with hate! #DirtSandwiches #ReadThePolicy @JBBuxton @JEFordNCTOY @DaleFolwell @LtGovDanForest @MarkRJohnsonNC @AmyWhite4Him @tarhokie @TabariWallace #SaveCLA

How do I fight "hate" in a room where I have no voice. The person speaking on our "behalf" has the only say? #DirtSandwiches @HarmonMason @JBBuxton @JEFordNCTOY @DaleFolwell @LtGovDanForest @MarkRJohnsonNC @AmyWhite4Him @tarhokie #saveCLA @TabariWallace @FreebirdsShire

CLA serves at-risk, economically disadvantaged youth of color—many of whom continue onto (and are currently in) college. #SaveCLA @LtGovDanForest @DaleFolwell @AmyWhite4Him @JEFordNCTOY @JBBuxton @MarkRJohnsonNC @TabariWallace @FreebirdsShire @tarhokie @HarmonMason
