Yep in 2021, the state of Illinois required its teachers to adopt the principles CRT.

To teach in Illinois, you have to learn how to be responsive to students of all ethnicities, background and cultures.

How is that considered CRT?

It’s the initial, dummy!

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

I know exactly what she’s talking about and, according to her stupid definition of CRT, she’s kinda right.

A thread.

The best choice is your local public school. It welcomes everyone. It unifies community. It is the glue of democracy.

#Accessibility is not a fad. It is a basic human right. It is also a tremendous opportunity for organizations to show leadership. It is also business opportunity to innovate and tap into a huge market!

An important note: in the paper we call parents who identify as women mothers, and those who identify as men fathers. Our intent is not to erase people who fall on other areas of the spectrum, but our statistical approach could not account for more than a binary, unfortunately.

Our son made the paper today! Way to go @isaac_f22! @mbfisher35 and I are so proud!! #soccer #family

Fact: Disabled people experience poverty at nearly twice the rate of non-disabled people.

Barriers to employment—including denial of reasonable ADA accommodations, biases in hiring, & a lack of accessibility—prevent disabled people from reaching true economic equity. #NDEAM

Those who have been writing about pandemic learning loss should be shouting from the rooftops about the importance of investing in healthy school buildings. Kids can’t learn well when they are too hot, too cold, in a poorly ventilated space, or out sick.

Senior Night is one day away — 5:30 pm Tuesday at Franklin Field vs Danville with the ceremony to follow the game (No JV game for this one).

We’ll honor 16 seniors. They’ve already had a great season (and a great four years), and they’re not done yet! #family #futbolislife
