I’m really glad this is a headline in NY Times. But I worry that that makes this case seem exceptional.

Having personally experienced something similar, having worked on behalf of girls like her, I promise, she’s at nearly every school in every town.

"It is a ridiculous abuse of law enforcement power and authority. But it's also a really unnecessary but all-too-common abdication on the part of schools, and school districts and teachers, to just defer their management of school misconduct to police." https://t.co/iJFpRbQKKh

Great tips for teachers on student-led voter registration drives from @Tolerance_org: "With only a few exceptions, youth voter registration is up across the country, and much of the education and registration work has been led by students." https://t.co/vlhpxoNoYz

"The bias against boys reading about girls runs so deep, it can feel daunting to try to change it. But change can start with a simple preposition swap: When talking to young readers, we can communicate that a book is about girls without prescribing that it’s for girls."

"What happens to a boy who is taught he should be ashamed of reading a book about a girl? For feeling empathy for a girl? For trying to understand how she feels? For caring about her? What kind of a man does that boy grow up to be?" https://t.co/BxmEGzQIUV

Dear media, I see you are writing about the international climate crisis lawsuit @GretaThunberg and I launched today with 15 other child plaintiffs. The other plaintiffs have names, experiences and stories.
Make sure you write about them too.
