@theMrOlson How about with my grade 7 class from Ontario?

[Rana Elsaadi @MissElsaadi]

@EducateTheEarth Thank you for your work on this. I am wondering if you can share an updated video link for I Am a Witness campaign as it seems to direct to one of the other videos. Thank you 🧡

@Erica_Forrest93 @bittrfridgetrol @TashaKheiriddin Y’all are safe because she said so, didn’t you know.

@sasa_ghada @CJPME @thomaswoodley1 @mbueckert Shame on them.

I watched my youngest daughter coloring her book, then I watched these children in Gaza writing their names on their arms so they can be identified in case they die in the next Israeli airstrike. I wept. Something about seeing the stolen humanity of these Palestinian children before they’re blown to pieces. Cruel and inhumane.

Notice how many videos coming out of Palestine are a holding spot for stories in English. Who do they want to bear witness of their story, in the event they will be killed? Why is it in that language?

The challenge with equity in education is that we are trying to create equitable spaces using the same infrastructure, same number of staff to support student needs, while navigating social media slander, gaslighting and resistance. Those doing the work, take care of yourselves.

@agawap Congratulations ♥️

I'll say it again. We don't need an antiracism more rooted in "kindness." We need a kindness more rooted in antiracism.

@GEDSB Congratulations @MrRVank great to hear that you will have a greater impact on the system!

[Rana Elsaadi @MissElsaadi]

@LifeAsWali Oh my, this is incredibly heartbreaking. Inshallah he makes a speedy full recovery.

When somebody says, "We have to meet people where they are," an important question is, WHICH people? Who are you prioritizing? How would our antiracist efforts change if me met people experiencing racism and demanding justice where THEY are, and used that as our starting point?

[Rana Elsaadi @MissElsaadi]

@GEDSB Congratulations @THOMLYNN101 😊 well deserved

[Paul Gorski | Equity Literacy Institute @EquityLiteracy]

There's a time to call in. But there's also a time to call out. When we shame people who opt for calling out--especially people who have been marginalized--then what we're doing is weaponizing "calling in" to protect the interests of power and injustice.

Constant attack on teaching and nursing - both historically female dominant fields. I wonder why other public sector jobs don’t face the same scrutiny? The comments on this perpetuate misogyny, and under value the education and emotional labour required @birgitomo @ETFOeducators

Teachers draw envy and ire over their two-month ‘vacations.’ But do they really get the summer off?

Summer months off may not be the perk you think it is. For many teachers, it’s a time for courses, prepping lesson plans and learning new curriculums. https://t.co/65TXGQ3TJb

This stabbing is an act of targeted violence. It’s is an escalation of the unaddressed climate of violence targeting women and children, LGBTQ communities, and anti-racist equity initiatives at our public school board.
