"The classroom has become a half-abandoned battlefield, where grown-ups who claim to be protecting students from the virus, from books, from ideologies and counter-ideologies end up using children to protect themselves and their own entrenched camps."

“One study found that college-educated Democrats were more likely to hold false views about their political enemies than those without four-year degrees. More education generally makes people more Democratic, but not more democratic.” https://t.co/keyMHT9nSA

2/ In my experience kids are not homophobic. In fact, they are naturally inquisitive, kind, & understanding. It’s the adults that teach kids homophobia & hate. It starts when adults in hush tones imply something is wrong & shameful. It starts with a bill like “Don’t Say Gay”

#TitleIX

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

This bigoted bill is an attack on LGBTQ+ people everywhere. My heart breaks for the LGBTQ+ kids in Florida growing up just like I did who deserve to live in dignity and as their authentic selves.

I see you. And I won't stop fighting until you can.

DOE: "all schools receiving federal funding must follow federal civil rights law, including Title IX’s protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. We stand with our LGBTQ+ students in Florida and across the country." @SecCardona

-Every child needs one irrationally caring adult @ProfKrisHenning

-We’re criminalizing childhood. Kids don't benefit from their engagement w the JJ system-we risk further harming them @marshalevick

[Kristin Henning @ProfKrisHenning]

We all need to join this timely and essential conversation. Please mark your calendars.
