Fear is not grounded in fact. Rather it comes from the stories we create about what might happen, not what will happen.

@NikkiHaley Whose freedom? And whose opportunity?

Picking winners & losers based on race was instrumental to the foundational policies, practices, systems and structures that constructed our very institutions.

#SCOTUS decision will ensure most black and brown folxs lose

[Nikki Haley @NikkiHaley]

The world admires America because we value freedom & opportunity. SCOTUS re-affirmed those values today. Picking winners & losers based on race is fundamentally wrong.

This decision will help every student—no matter their background—have a better opportunity to achieve the American dream.

[Drey Page @dreypage]

@iamlegallyhype People confuse the definitions of racism, prejudice, and discrimination.

Racism is about power and the ability to wield power in a way that shapes policy based on prejudicial beliefs about race.

What power do black people have to enact policy or shape institutions?

[Martin Odima Jr. @MartinOdimaJr]

How many Black lives could have been saved if police departments had the de-escalation skills of special education teachers, social workers, or mental health professionals?

[Drey Page @dreypage]

Black men deserve more than simply the ability to grow old.

We deserve leaders who will enact the necessary policies in order to catalyze the systemic, institutional change necessary for us to grow old.

Kyrie Irving thoughts:

I do NOT take the position that I speak for ALL black people. I speak for myself & my experiences.I come to the table with my sword down. I come to the table to engage in dialogue with empathy. We have to continue to EXCHANGE….

If general education teachers get a prep then special education teachers should get a prep.
