@MadiSP4321 This is the first year I’ve known mine going into break. I usually don’t know until the 1st day of school, and then it changes a few weeks in anyway 😬

Anyway this turned into me rambling because obviously this is an issue with a lot of nuance but the main point is kids of color deserve to have teachers of color regardless of the overall demographics of the school.

And I thought of them in this exchange because they would benefit a lot from having more men of color work at our school.
