#WriteRightRite No. 16 Again, because the kids still need to process. Make up a synonym. I’ll go first: another (made up) word for freedom is breathlaughter.

The NYC Department of Education needs to eliminate police in schools and reinvest this funding into creating OPPORTUNITIES for students. It is time to cut ties with the NYPD!!!!! @UFT @NYCSchools @NYCMayor #PoliceFreeSchools #nycschools #BlackLivesMatter

[Alliance for Educational Justice @4EdJustice]

(1) What's #PoliceFreeSchools you ask? We got you. Here is our collective definition:

Dismantling school policing infrastructure, culture, and practice; ending school militarization and surveillance; and building a new liberatory education system.

#AbolishPolice #DefundPolice

@paigeno1 @LisaYee1 @HarlanCoben @netflix Strongly second this. Orphan Black is unique and thrilling. And Tatiana Maslany’s acting is phenomenal.
