Everyone is not welcomed to my home. This is my safe haven, personal space, where I lay my head, gather my thoughts, & gain my peace. All company isn't good company. Refuse to have negativity where I reside.
I stand with @pdxteachers and the teachers in Portland, Oregon who are fighting for better working conditions and the school support they need to provide the education our students deserve. We must protect teachers' right to stand up for themselves and their students.
Tomorrow our teachers union is going on strike. The emotions are complex, but ultimately I feel for our students. Seniors awaiting letters of recommendation, young people still catching up from pandemic related learning loss, and those who rely on us to get their basic needs met.
