Teaching is an inherently political act.

When Hitler admirer Oswald Mosley tried to march in Manchester #OTD in 1962, locals made him kiss the pavement. Fine tradition of anti fascism locally continues as likes of 'Tommy Robinson' knows. #NoPasaran

To fail to call racism out by it's name during race riots is an unforgettable and unforgivable betrayal of ethnic minorities.

@CarbonBrief @AyeshaTandon @luceliataranto @DavidBresch Even with a portable air conditioner (which requires burning more fossil fuels) my room has been over 30 degrees for weeks, and will stay that way till the summer. Hit 40 by July last year. The human brain's ability to think effectively starts to degrade above 25.

@ChikeJeffers Has been an absolute joy to listen from start to finish. Thank you so much for your work on this. I hope the episodes will be preserved for future generations as an absolutely vital source.

Seems more accurate with each passing week.

Listen up. Gaza is a blueprint for all of us this century. This is what the first real signal of this new century looks like, out in the open, clear for all to see.

Just putting it out there that if you are afraid of fascism but fine with capitalism, afraid of neoliberalism but not too concerned with the organised violence of imperial geopolitics, you don't really understand how any of these work, and you probably should be much more afraid.

@PhilBeadle Does this mean P8, EBacc completion, or a wider range of academic outcomes that might include performance in vocational subjects, outcomes for students with no KS2 data, destination data, etc.?

[teachingwhileBlack @TeachingwhileB]

@trepann3d @NathenAmin Exactly this.

[teachingwhileBlack @TeachingwhileB]

@SamFowles @moira_robin It would seem, in parts, that it doesn't just *allow* teachers to misgender students, but actually places a (non-statutory) obligation on them to do so.

[Sera Koulabdara @SeraKoulabdara]

YES

UPDATE: Luton Sixth Form College have confirmed in an email to students today that they will be suspending all further activities with arms manufacturer Leonardo.

Great win for @LSFCstudents

@C_Hendrick Hi, where is this taken from please?

[Muhammad Smiry 🇵🇸 @MuhammadSmiry]

It’s been 38 days and 75 years.

[teachingwhileBlack @TeachingwhileB]

Thank you for this.

[Sage M Stephanou @SageStephanou]

As we continue to witness, oppose & resist the ongoing genocide in Gaza, we are re-experiencing echoes of parallel spiritual, physical & physchological violence that We/our ancestors endured. We are grieving and feeling the pain of Palestine, just as our own, because it is. 6/7

The fight in each school strengthens the fight in every school. Solidarity! ✊🏼
