A Thought:
Can we stop showing Black and White pictures of the entire decade of the 1960s so people stop thinking it was 1000 years ago. I’m two years younger than the Civil Rights movement. And Ruby Bridges lives down the street from me and is on Instagram.
One day the church in mass will stop worshipping their beliefs and realize that their non affirming stance is causing physical emotional and spiritual harm.
But that day won’t be a victory but a day of mourning for all the lives we didn’t have to lose.
This is why many of our students do not feel welcomed, known, or valued in our schools. We will look back on our actions and be ashamed of the way we treated our children. We, as educators, have to do better than this.
Earlier this year, two Black students in Texas were suspended for violating a school policy that forbids male students from having long hair.
This week, the school board voted unanimously to keep that policy in place.

@georgecfuller I urge you to begin adopting 8 CAN’T WAIT in our city now. These policies are proven to reduce police violence. Mckinney’s use of force policies are not good enough. We MUST do better. I know you have taken time to listen but now it is time for you to act.
@DerekVBaker it is scary when you read the biased article. When you listen to the actual words she says it develops empathy for the people who are not as privelaged as you. It gives perspective & could possibly cause you to consider how ethical it is to sue someone for trying to save lives.
We all need a deep breath during these times.
