Do you think the reforms will result in equitable outcomes? I’m not 100% sure it will…

“Every classroom has a webcam and a Zoom link, and it’s on 24/7," he [new HISD superintendent Mike Miles] said. “If a kid is disruptive, we pull that student out of class.. they’re being monitored.” @HoustonCVPE @_DominicAnthony So like prison, right? https://t.co/d0Ikwl4Z81

"There is nothing holy about rejecting medical care of people. There is nothing holy about turning someone away from a hospital. There's nothing holy about rejecting a child from a family. There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law."

Hmmm… definitely worth thinking about

Sincere question…

Do Teacher of the Year programs do more harm than good because they celebrate/perpetuate toxic hero teacher myths and inflame competition between educators?

As a parent I’m not worried that my 9 and 13 year olds are going to be “indoctrinated” with “wokeness” at school.
I’m not worried that they’re going to ‘feel guilty about their whiteness’ because they’re learning accurate history.
I’m not worried that they’re going to be “groomed” to become furries and to make their pees pees in litter boxes.
Those things aren’t real.
Wanna know what is real?
My worry that they’re going to get shot. That someone with an AR-15 is going to go into their school and shoot them.
So, while the same gun fetishizing, AR-15 lapel pin wearing, locked and loaded family Christmas card posing Republicans fear monger & manufacture crises under the guise of “parents rights”, I say this:
It is my right as a parent to send my kids to school without worrying that they will get shot.
It ain’t the drag queens, the African American history, the books with two moms or two seahorse dads which threaten our kids.
It’s the fucking guns.

@justinaholland What you’ve done is incredibly brave and admirable. I am a teacher and a single mother. I cannot thank you enough for going against the grain and supporting your constituents, even if that makes you seen unfavorable to your colleagues. That takes a lot of integrity.

As a Marine, I used the same weapon to protect myself, my Marines, and civilians.

It defies common sense that anyone can easily obtain the same weapon, let alone carry it openly in many states. We don’t have to live this way.

@GregAbbott_TX White privilege at its finest.

@GregAbbott_TX The groups that I can recall who have controlled what curriculum is being taught in schools are the Taliban and the Nazis.
