"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented... When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant." -Elie Weisel

We just published a story called "The Magic of a Noisy Classroom." Do you allow your classroom to get noisy? Why or why not?

So many lessons from my friend @nhannahjones, this morning.

Go where you are embraced, celebrated, valued and supported.

Go where you don’t have to fight for people to see your brilliance.

And, avoid spaces if they barely tolerate you, even if they’re familiar and beloved.

Seems that if in our work we are not giving equal time & attention to prioritizing human needs, then we are not really serious about our “collective efficacy.”

Prioritizing standards is important. But it’s no more important than prioritizing humans.

Complete the collection.

@Blunt_Maddness Yes. It is racist. Native Americans are portrayed using harmful images, action and characters are definitely problematic.
