@NissanStadium @taylorswift13 #TheErasTour went to grab merch after waiting out the monsoon, running to my seat, standing and singing in the rain, during folklore (plenty of time left), all to be yelled at by the merch workers that they were no longer selling merch…🤬

We live in a country where people believe talking about racism and white supremacy is worst than racism and white supremacy.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

You can’t desire religious freedom when the only religion you think deserves freedom is white Christianity.

If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

After 9/11, it took many Americans months to feel comfortable flying again, even after immediately passing new safety regulations.

After a school shooting, we expect students, teachers and school staff to go back to school the very next day, without any changes at all.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

I think this country needs a national day of mourning—to express both the anger and sadness at the world we live in. I know it won’t change much. But I do wish the world would just stop long enough for us to feel, cry, and express the emotions that are buried. We are not okay.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

Let’s be clear: where we are today politically and religiously is not because the moral failures of "both sides". It is because both the religious right and political right loves power more than people, hate more than love, and guns more than God.

Our STEAM teacher is the best! He got @sphero indi for our kids and they were beyond engaged and full of complete joy! Watch my sweet boys as they get stoked about coding! @SchaeffelDaniel #UMedtech #digilead

[Catherine Sanford @CatDSanford]

Love this quote! Who are we really “protecting”? Ask the hard questions and be willing to wade into the difficult conversations on behalf of ALL our students! Staying silent only further harms the marginalized #UMedtech #equity

This article by @KatySwalwell and @EquityLiteracy, published in "Educational Leadership" in March 2015 is still very relevant today. Pose this question at every school board meeting where folks are concerned about racism being discussed in schools.
