Stop saying parents are “SCARED” to send their kids to school. It’s patronizing.
Parents are AWARE of the dangers of COVID and they are AWARE of the failure of school systems to prioritize their children’s health and well-being.
It shouldn’t take this much.
It shouldn’t take a video.
It shouldn’t take this much protest.
It shouldn’t be this hard.
George Floyd shouldn’t be dead.
It shouldn’t be like this.
Can we all sing a praise song for Darnella Frazier who had the presence of mind to film that video that made such a difference in this case and now must live with the memories that will walk alongside her for the rest of her years
The next four witnesses, who watched George Floyd plead for his life as Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck, are not being shown on camera because they are so young.
Let that sink in.
Too young to be shown on camera but witnesses in a murder trial.
A reminder to journalists and headline writers. George Floyd is not on trial in absentia, despite the obvious defense attorney’s strategy. This is the Derek Chauvin trial. To call this the George Floyd trial is to participate in the Chauvin defense play book.
To be clear: forcing students to take standardized tests in the middle of the pandemic is intentional.
The results, which will obviously be worse than previous years, will be used to:
- continue to blame teachers
- defund public schools even more
- implement more testing
