@thehill This is most racist/ridiculous reason to vote for the orange guy that - I’ve heard today.

[Valissia Allen @RValissia]

What does this even mean? Our heritage? Do you mean changing the unfair racist structure of this country? Do you mean ensuring that ALL people have a fair opportunity?

VP Mike Pence: "If you want a President who falls silent when our heritage is demeaned or insulted, he's not your man." #RNC2020

Wake County Commissioner Greg Ford has decided to not seek reelection.
I am announcing that I humbly seek the nomination for the District 6 seat. @wakedems @WCPSS #WakePol #WakeGov @WakeGOV

If police could escort #DylanRoof to Burger King to eat before taking him to jail after he MURDERED nine people during Bible study at a Black church in Charleston, police in Atlanta could’ve escorted #RayshardBrooks home after finding him ASLEEP in his car.

Case closed.

#BreonnaTaylor killers are still on the job. Its not enough to fire the chief. Arrest her killers and bring them to justice!

Agreed! If the driver will be state test goals then those goals should be adjusted to account for learning gaps. Differentiated student education plans and differentiated goals

@RPowellDennis97 Celebrate teachers with both words and actions! I am amazed at the commitment and dedication of our teachers. @LeadPrepMemphis They never stop improving and challenging the negative myth of what is possible for our scholars!

@RPowellDennis97 Districts must consider the unique populations they serve. No one size fits all policy. Community advocates from communities being served must be deeply involved in the creation of the policy and implementation. #K12 #EDCHAT #DIGLN

@RPowellDennis97 We must trust strong educators and leaders to lead as the visionaries and creators of strong content for our students. We must trust the people most informed about what students need. Forget the bureaucracy and politics #K12

@RPowellDennis97 To address the digital divide, we must first address the opportunity divide. This pandemic placed a spotlight on what most in urban education already knew. Access to education is not equitable and urban schools need more. #K12 #EDCHAT #DIGLN #21stCenturyLeadership

[Valissia Allen @RValissia]

@RPowellDennis97 States must be mindful of what true equity looks like in
urban and rural public education. The historical impact of systemic racism and poverty dedicates a new formula for determining equitable funding. #K12 #EDCHAT

[Valissia Allen @RValissia]

@RPowellDennis97 Schools must be thoughtful and strategic when planning for what next year MUST look like for students. Data on individual student needs and NOT end of year state test GOALS must drive instruction and student goals. #K12 #EDCHAT
