Let’s take their interest in “fairness” and use it to teach them about injustice and empower them to create plans to combat it.

"Every time I teach, I think for myself and my students, 'How can we use this to fight for justice?"

"Kids just naturally want to seek justice."

As we practice social distancing, let’s not distance ourselves from books. They will keep us company and connect us back to people, back to society.

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we remind educators that "all young people, regardless of gender, need stories of persistent women ... who have spoken up to make a difference and refused to be silenced in the face of disapproval."

Started reading Internment by Samira Ahmed last night. I would say the genre is dystopian fiction except that it’s feels like it’s more dystopian non-fiction of a very real possible future if we don’t #Resist and do it soon. @sam_aye_ahm

Such an honor to find out my words are featured in @splcenter + @Tolerance_org. I can't tell you how excited I am for this to be shared w/ students & educators alike!

If you're a #Disabled #Nonbinary #Transgender #POC student & witness these words, I wrote this for us! 💜

Academic "rigor" should mean creating points of entry and flexible pathways for encouraging different work from different students. Why is it so often used to describe shutting down pathways and putting up barriers to learning? Oh ... because "rigor" means "frozen, stiff, dead."

@Maire_from_NJ And in the places with underserved children, they give less to work with. It’s a way to keep oppression in place.
