People want to suggest there isn’t a race problem with policing and then there is this kind of evidence - what makes these officers believe one of the kids is more dangerous than the other and needs to be handcuffed while the other sits by on a couch?

@LucasLearn In my experience this realization feels like freedom when offered to teachers. If teachers aren’t invited to integrate their various creative resources and passions into their teaching how will students ever feel invited to make the same bridge for themselves?

[Professor Bill Lucas @LucasLearn]

I think you are right. Let's show how creativity is alive and well in every subject, every aspect of life! #CreativityExchange

@Rick_Hall @DrEllenSpencer @LucasLearn @Rick_Hall @DrEllenSpencer I wonder if the issue is less art appropriating creativity in any detrimental way (can art really be held responsible?) and more about myths that go unchecked de-emphasizing the creativity and transdisciplinarity inherent in innovations in all fields

All of these laws are going to come back and hunt these folks who want to deny freedom and truth. Today, I lift up the #Blackteachers across this country who believe in liberation, freedom, love ❤️ I honor them in my #BlackHistory365 https://t.co/sFM33Rh4rF

the power of research to reveal key assumptions even, or especially, if they run counter to what we hope and expect to find. Yes, ALL four year olds need and deserve play-based preschool. Starting skill and drill hamster wheel in preschool will not work!

Authors and librarians are on the front lines of book banning but we can't do this alone y'all. We need the help of the community. We need the support of voices to make it loud and clear this is unacceptable. Also don't think these people will stop with books.

This is so flagrant...and not even far removed from #MLKDay. North Carolina, I hope you're paying attention in every local district b/c the erasure is coming.
