@aquijano30@triciaebarvia Yes! I completely agree. As educators, teachers have to do what’s beneficial for the student. Not what’s beneficial for the teacher. These actions end up being harmful! #DisruptTexts
@jess_kekelis#DisruptTexts I also encourage teachers to watch the TED Talk from Kimberlé Crenshaw about intersectionality. Very engaging and informative!
@2Learn2gether This is amazing. I think that the #DisruptTexts Movement needs to be spoken about and learned in the classroom. This article is an important read.
@triciaebarvia@DenaSimmons Yes yes yes to this. It’s not enough for the curriculum to be “not racist”—it must be antiracist and actively combat the inequity that persists today.
@susangbarber I would love to see some recommendations for LGBTQIA high school students. As a future teacher, I want to make sure that I use LGBTQIA texts in my classroom. #aplitchat
@erik_palmer Just read this article, and I really like what it offers. I sometimes forget about the importance of voice. Intent is great, but the delivery of the words we say is crucial. Thank you for this!
