As a proud Spartan, but mindful of challenges and serious past missteps and wrongdoing by the adults running my beloved school, I just made a gift on #GiveGreenDay! How about you? Join me and other Spartans to support students #iGave https://t.co/jXz1wxrsfE
Identical triplets Joanna, Vicky and Sarah Bedell were only 8 years old the first time they saw their mom, Dr. Janet Gersten, deliver a baby. Almost 3 decades later, all 3 have followed their mom's footsteps. Vicky said "mom being very collected and having confident control of the situation, which was very cool to watch." The mom said she never pushed for them to go into the same field but is glad they did. The triplets tell Good News Movement: "Working with our family has been really great. It provides a different type of fun and enjoyment to the work environment." Also they say it was a decision that kind of fell into place over time. Love this story ❤️

@naomiosaka Love to see your resolve of steel and clarity about who you are, your worth, and your extraordinary accomplishments. You stay making us proud.
🚨🚨🚨 Holy shit: A group of parents in Tennessee are OUTRAGED that a local school board caved to a conservative group and cancelled a librarian’s Mother's Day lesson inclusive to kids without moms.
The parents boldly confronted the Hamilton County School Board and held nothing back:
One dad said, “This is 2023. I'm a Christian man, married to a woman, but I think everyone should be represented fairly. If you want to keep your kids in a closet and just shelter them from everything, homeschool them. Send them to Christian school. This is a public school for everyone. Everyone. I've dealt with that woman. She loves these kids.”
The organization Moms for Liberty is a right-wing organization that campaigns against social progress and civil rights. They target local school board meetings and has deep connections to the Republican Party. Moms for Liberty also promoted stripping districts of protective COVID-19 measures and are bad news.
Thank you to these brave parents for speaking out! 💙💙💙
Happy Mother's Day! 💐

A key to lifelong learning is being as eager to hear "you're wrong" as "you're right."
Small minds crave validation. They surround themselves with people who share their convictions.
Great minds prize discovery. They gravitate toward people who stretch their thinking.
WOW. This is the crowd that welcomed State Rep. Zooey Zephyr home. Republicans tried to silence her. They tried to ban her. But they unleashed something they will regret. This is what democracy looks like & Republicans should be terrified. https://t.co/mcFHCNcYMX
