Yet silence does not work, peaceful protest doesn't work, 🤷🏿‍♀️. We have yet to find a formula for social change that actually results in dismantling systemic oppression.

When racists acted out in Charleston it was okay to be angry, when sport teams win or lose its okay to be excited. Yet when it's in response to public lynching it is now Soooo problematic. Same tactic different bodies. Either way it can't be okay.

1:2 The problem with looting and rioting isn't just that it is destructive. It is that "white supremacy" can't handle when it's same tactics are exhibited for reasons it can't control, nor did it sanction, are used.

It would be best if this recommendation actually came with viable supports that were effective for teachers to be able to meet the requirements that are outlined through the law.

We did a survey and found that 88% of parents approve of how their children’s teachers are handling the coronavirus pandemic .

A higher rating than they gave their governor, their mayor or local government. https://t.co/I1rnzyX4Yd #EdChat #DistanceLearning

There could be a serious research study examining the implications of this show on race perceptions of a particular generation of Americans

I just realized, my brain has started to consider email as scholarly work. If only a peer review journal would publish my emails. I could show so much productivity.

[T.L. Baker, PhD @baker_phd]

I address this often when making sure current teacher educators understand why it is often difficult to recruit black teachers.

The landmark #BrownvBoard decision that integrated schools 65 years ago had an unintended effect that’s still felt today: Thousands of black teachers and principals lost their jobs. https://t.co/IYj6g7Qn2I #Brown65

At a time when teachers are being celebrated #TeacherAppreciationWeek #payteachersmore, students are being killed. The in justice of it all is too much for such a rich nation.

This photo. What are we doing to our kids!? Our elected leaders who repeatedly choose inaction over the lives of our children must listen to the students who have been and continue to be most affected by these preventable acts. #GunControlNow #ProtectOurSchools @ColoradoEA
