I can’t wait to get back involved. Loved the talks! #BMEsTalk

[Black Male Educators Talk @BMEsTalk]

Every Tuesday night, we come together to share their stories, learn others perspectives and guide with their expertise as needed. All of this happens during our twitter chat.

We are on summer break but we will be back in August. Stay tuned.

JUST IN: The Supreme Court just ruled 5-4 siding with red states against the Clean Water Act. Roberts joined liberals in dissent, but the conservative majority did not even issue an opinion explaining why they ruled the way they did.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

The fact that so many teachers, who always dreamed of being a teacher, are leaving teaching because the education system has become so unbearable and they are so undervalued should concern everyone.

Thanks to @POTUS, $3M is headed to Greensboro to buy modern, electric buses. The #BIL is already making a difference in NC by bringing public transit into the future, ensuring we breath cleaner air, & protecting our communities against the climate crisis. https://t.co/3oaZpf46Mh

BREAKING: 100+ teachers, school staff, parents & students are outside Asheville City Board of Education demanding baseline living wages to reduce staff turnover & fund our kids’ futures. Over 900 people have signed a petition in support, 75% of which are school staff. #avlnews

If Emmett Till was still with us, his family might call him granddad.

Tonight, after decades of delay, Congress passed the bill named for him.

When President Biden signs it, lynching will become a federal hate crime.

I’m thinking of our ancestors and our babies tonight.

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

All of us teachers trying to motivate kids right now:

"Do well in school so you can have a bright future!" says the teacher while a pandemic is now normal, an invasion with a nuclear threat is going on, and a climate disaster is on the horizon.

It's...difficult.

Dudley High is named in honor of James Benson Dudley. Dudley was the second president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Greensboro (now @ncatsuaggies). NC A&T has a building named in his honor on campus.

It's not inflation. It's corporate greed.

Healthcare should be free.

When Black women (or Black men) have hardly existed in a workplace, or a Supreme Court, in an NFL front office, or at a highly selective university, there are two explanations: the racist and the antiracist explanations. 1/9

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

Just your regular reminder that neither you nor the student needs a grade on that assignment.

They could use feedback, a model and method for reflection, and/or a collection of resources to use to take their learning to the next level, though.

[Brian Aspinall @mraspinall]

I don’t want to improve students’ math, literacy, science, physical education, arts, geography, or history scores.

I want to encourage students to be mathematicians, authors, scientists, athletes, musicians, artists, travellers, and historians.

[Shevrin “Shev” Jones @ShevrinJones]

After listening to a series of homophobic remarks in Education committee by moms promoting educational freedom, I had to respond after a mom insinuated that children are becoming gay and transgender because of books in school libraries.

We must call out homophobia!!

[Brandon L. Morrison @MorrisonThinks]

Idiots passing idiotic legislation because they refuse to move an inch beyond their lifelong ignorance, biases, and prejudices. This is ridiculous.

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

Today, lawmakers moved forward a bill to ban discussion of LGBTQ people in schools. Our own Jon Harris Maurer had a powerful reply:

"We're parents, students, & teachers. We are your brothers & sisters. Conversations about us aren't something dangerous that should be banned." ❤️

Abbott Elementary is emotionally triggering, in a delightful way.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

If we have made it so unbearable for teachers, who actually wanted to teach, to stay in teaching, do you really think that people who never wanted to teach would want to become teachers to replace those who left?

[Jay Wamsted @JayWamsted]

Just imagine how many teachers would be absent if they didn’t make it so ridiculously difficult for us to miss a day.

[Brandon L. Morrison @MorrisonThinks]

A virtual snow day reminded me of the gift that is “Mute All.” How I missed hearing one student at a time. 😂
