"You hope the voice ... never cowers behind fear and expectations that other people strapped to your life like a backpack full of bricks." @JasonReynolds83 and @826National encourage student voice in an uncertain time with this powerful poem and a prompt.

A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15.

He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.

Fix your damn headlines.

As people in power continue to racialize the coronavirus and use derogatory, anti-Asian descriptors, it’s critical that educators understand the historical context of these racist tropes and xenophobia—and how to disrupt them. https://t.co/20A3HYAfYQ

FACTS about voting:

1. Trump can't ban mail voting through executive order. States run elections

2. "Absentee" & "mail-in" voting are same thing

3. Only 143 criminal convictions for mail ballot fraud over 20 years (.00006% total votes)

4. 16 top Trump officials voted by mail

"For a long time, the history of the suffrage movement has been told mainly as the story of a few famous white women." Here are Black, Indigenous, Latinx and queer women you can elevate in teaching about women's rights movements and suffrage.

Not only do I relate to this on a deeply personal level, but her call for the collective action and solidarity work we need to fight this pandemic AND the endemic racism in this country is powerful.

Increased policing in schools has led to the school-to-prison pipeline, in which children — especially Black children — are funneled out of public schools and into the criminal justice systems.

We need to divest from the police and invest in our children's futures.

3 million students attend schools with cops, but no nurses.

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Adultification and overpolicing of Black youth in and outside of school threatens their physical safety. It also threatens their mental health. Now, as ever, schools must be attentive to that trauma—and work to dismantle the practices that cause it.

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

It is empty when politicians call for healing and peace without stating antiracist policies they want to institute. Words bring momentary healing and peace. Policy change brings lasting healing and peace by rooting out the racism suffocating so many people. We want to breathe.

To my white educators: Today, you’re posting about social justice, buying antiracist books, following brown folks, and temp changing your profile pictures. (thread)

Here’s what I need you to do tomorrow:

[Paul Gorski @EquityLiteracy]

White teachers: When we engage students in learning about racism, we must move, not at the pace of those most resistant to racial justice, but at the pace of the those most committed to and desperate for racial justice. Don't make this a conversation about celebrating diversity.
