Public schools are not failing students.

Public school teachers are not failing students.

The system is failing public schools, teachers and students.

Stop saying public schools and teachers are failing students when the system is setting them up to fail.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.

Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!

Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!

It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”

It may be time to remind the public that the Science of Reading has corporate connections that appear serious about replacing teachers with technology. Whether you ❤️SoR or not, it's something to consider. https://t.co/7WDQGjQHJL

In 1992, 72% of 4th graders scored below proficient on the NAEP reading assessment. Today, those kids are 40-41 years old. They went on to earn 4-year college and advanced degrees at a rate surpassing all generations before them. My latest post: https://t.co/93KIUrxkVU

Sairo Rao, president and co-founder of Here 4 The Kids (@4thekidsaction): "Guns are the number one killer of children in America and folks are saying it's radical to ban guns. No, it's actually radical that we've decided to live with this." #TheReidOut

WHAT FINLAND HAS TAUGHT ME: when a society strives to make each gender full partners in power and leadership, and makes a national mission out of striving to care for all its citizens with fairness and compassion, the whole society thrives.

This is what commonsense gun reform looks like.

Now, it's up to Congress to get this done.

Mississippi Is Offering Lessons for America on Education - Nickolas Kristof gives us more SoR hogwash and corporate school reform nonsense in this morning's NY Times. Mississippi testing results are actually a mirage. https://t.co/c56jaBwHR1 #privatization

We don't get shows like this on network tv in America anymore and there certainly has never been a full-hour dedicated to a serious argument for reparations for descendants of slavery. So please share and please support so we can open more doors for this type of work. 5/31 8 EDT

NEW: The super PAC supporting Mike Johnston for mayor of Denver just crossed the $4 million mark, with a large donation from former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg.

[Bring Our Neighbors Home ⚖ @BONH_Coalition]

Denver students were ticketed or arrested 4,929x in 6 years 2014-2020.

87% of those were students of color.

In the 2 years since SROs were removed from Denver schools, students have been ticketed/arrested just 175x — a 90% reduction. @movimientopoder

You can only outvote Trump voters.
