College Students Fighting for Educational Equity in K-12 Public Schools

[College Students for Educational Equity @csforedequity]

Our #equityframework can be a bit abstract through text alone, but this shows it well: #educationalequity exists only at the intersection of each tenet of our framework.

[Education Week @educationweek]

Educators, if you could take one thing off your plate this school year, what would it be?

As the national zeitgeist has grown a fixation on so-called #parentsrights, College Students for Educational Equity's founder @babysbbreath calls for a recentering of this dialogue to focus on students' rights, instead.

Fighting for #racialjustice in pursuit of #educationalequity must mean fighting for the dignity of teachers of color just as much as it means fighting for the dignity of students of color, and @unboundedu president @lacrob makes this very clear.

We all know #education alone cannot bring students out of poverty, but @AFTunion president @rweingarten says it well — education is certainly the best start a student can have to a path out of poverty, another proof of the need for #educationalequity.

Education is a difficult, skilled, important profession. And educators deserve professional pay.

Today, we join together with educators, students, parents & allies to defend their freedom to #TeachTruth so every child— no matter their color, background, or gender identity—receives an honest education that reflects our true history. #FreedomToLearn https://t.co/B41koMeTHh

@BeckyPringle, President of @NEAToday, speaks an undeniable, but often fought, truth -- that all students deserve to see themselves and their peers in the books they are reading in their classrooms.

Lisa Delpit is a powerful & impactful #educator who has spent four decades revolutionizing #AntiRacist and anti-oppressive #pedagogy and practice. Her work and insights students of color experiences of education are invaluable to thinking about power in the classroom.

🧵As Florida governor Ron DeSantis starts his presidential campaign, let's take a look at his very popular #edpolicy and how his bid could affect the 2024 presidential election.

[College Students for Educational Equity @csforedequity]

Of course, this would not limit harmful policies which affect students and educators in other ways, nor would it prevent the power of presidential steering of educational policy in the states. We must fight to see a pro-public education candidate take the White house in 2024.

In his dissenting opinion in San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez (the #SCOTUS case which ruled there is no constitutional right to education) Justice Brennan declared what CSEE holds to be true: #education is essential to full participation in our civic processes

This thread does not even begin to cover the bills affecting LGBTQ students outside of the context of their curricular presence. Laws affecting trans students' access to gender-affirming care, sports teams, and even bathrooms must also be fought for true #educationalequity.

[College Students for Educational Equity @csforedequity]

Today, many states have become a home to so-called #DontSayGay laws, which limit or prohibit discussions of #LGBT folks in public school classrooms. Let's look at the history of these laws. | The History of Don't Say Gay: A Thread 🧵

[College Students for Educational Equity @csforedequity]

On May 17, 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law legislation which expanded Florida's law to all K-12 education. While their form may have changed since the 70s, the erasure of queerness in the classroom remains and the rhetoric does, too.
