[Cheryl B. Klein @chavelaque]

So I have a cool story to share today about a book that's been four hundred and one years and four months in the making.

Last May, soon after the death of #GeorgeFloyd, Kyle Lukoff (the author of @LEEandLOW's WHEN AIDAN BECAME A BROTHER) reached out to me. (thread)

Twitter! Two fabulous books are now available for your purchasing & reading pleasure & edification:

First, WHAT WE BELIEVE: A BLACK LIVES MATTER PRINCIPLES ACTIVITY BOOK by @LearnLalena & #CarynDavidson:

[Dr. Desiree Alexander of Educator Alexander @educatoralex]

Dear Teachers,

You are not the corner store, the Circle K or a 7-Eleven. You are not open 24 hours a day. Put up boundaries & stop answering emails, calls & texts after a certain time. Protect your time, your spirit & your brain power. You can do it!

Love & respect yourself!

[Julia E. Torres (MAEd., MA, MLIS) @juliaerin80]

My daughter's school district is going back to being completely virtual. From what I'm hearing, this happens eventually with all districts that have adopted in-person and hybrid models. It's only a matter of time. My standing question: Is it worth it?

The moral of the story is, he lied to you for months and encouraged you to live wrecklessly during a pandemic, and when it got to him he received every top tier treatment and medication to ensure his survival while your friends and family died alone. Remember that on Nov 3rd.

Call me a radical lefty, but I can’t accept a system that spends $115,000,000,000 a year on police but forces 94% of public school teachers to spend their own money on school supplies.

[learn_with_laleña @LearnLalena]

I spent the summer hiding, not just because of the pandemic and the general terrible state of the world, but because I was holed up working on my very first book! I'm very excited to share the news.

We teach students before curriculum. We reach souls before standards. We teach character before content. In that order or its not really teaching at all #HipHopEd #GoodTroubleEdu

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

They told people to voluntarily die for the sake of the economy and the economy is tanking anyway. It’s almost like the key to saving the economy was to address the public health crisis & not invite corporations to raid billions of $$$ in tax dollars.

Woke Kindergarten is honestly awe-inspiring.

[learn_with_laleña @LearnLalena]

I really enjoyed last night’s class! We talked about the history of the police, restorative justice, and re-imagining the police state. Folks had a lot of fun thinking like five-year-olds!

What would you imagine?

Roger Stone is free while a 15 year old Black girl remains incarcerated in a pandemic for not doing her homework. This is an absolute miscarriage of justice.
