@DoctorKChilds I usually take rejections as a sign that I didn’t need to add yet another trip to my schedule.

[Dr. Michael Cardona @mcardona1989]

I mean with all due respect, you created this with your incessant attacks & mandates on public educators, your attacks on districts, and boards. You have attacked everyone but your own members who you encouraged to fabricate issues. The answer you seek is in the mirror.

This is a before and after shot of what a single shelving unit in the library’s Teen Space would look like if we removed every book with content that could offend someone. Out of 159 books, there are ten left on the shelves.

@DoctorKChilds This is awesome!! I’m sure you crushed it and the preservice teachers you spoke to learned so much from you. ❤️

[Kathy Dixon @kvdixon]

@DoctorKChilds @US_PREP Happy Anniversary!!! 🍾

[Kathy Dixon @kvdixon]

All caffeinated up and ready to get busy on our final @US_PREP curriculum design retreat. It’s been a great 1st year!! #AgentsofChange #USPREP

Really missing my days as a 4th grade SLAR/ELAR & Social Studies teacher right now. Now wondering how I can incorporate these primary documents in my preservice teacher courses. Hmmm...🤔

Historians are dunking on the Project 1836 Law signed by @GregAbbott_TX & fairly so. It's pure culture-wars inflaming rhetoric, a response to a virtually non-existent threat of Critical Race Theory. But if we only trash it, we're missing the good news of *opportunity.* A thread/1

John Dolford "Bob" Jones was the son of a White man named Leazer Alvis Jones and Elizabeth, a Black woman enslaved by Leazer. When he was a child, he helped runaway slaves escape by hiding them in a cave.

Was racing against the clock at last night's #Southlake @Carrollisd school board meeting and had to edit my public comments. Here is the full text of what I originally prepared:

[Kathy Dixon @kvdixon]

@DoctorKChilds @jamestalarico They’re really coming at us this session, aren’t they? Issues that weren’t “of concern” 2 years ago are now being passed. It’s all coming at us so fast we can’t keep up. Rather intentional, huh?

[Kathy Dixon @kvdixon]

@DoctorKChilds We still have time to fight these bills & need to call our state Reps & senators to express opposition. Regardless of outcome, I’ll keep teaching the truth. They can come for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ @jamestalarico held Toth’s feet to the fire. It’s a disgrace how most of our reps view teachers.

[Kathy Dixon @kvdixon]

.@InogenOne My friend @courtshea & her husband are working to get oxygen concentrators to India. They’re already sending 100s but the need is overwhelming. Can you help them get connected to your manufacturing overseas? I know you’ve helped w/crises in TX before. Thanks!

[Kathy Dixon @kvdixon]

Very much looking forward to this. 👇

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

Some news: I’m excited to be the host of a new @TheCrashCourse series, Black American History. We’ve got 50 episodes to cover 400 years. So we can’t cover everything, but we do cover a lot. We’ll drop a new episode every week. I hope you’ll watch. We’ve been working hard on this.

Thoughtful teachers make subtle changes every day. They adjust their teaching to meet students’ needs. But what do teachers do when they realize that they need to make a bigger change because something isn’t working for their students anymore? https://t.co/uoHtDV5mJs @MisterMinor

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

I just heard that Navajo Nation, which has done a heroic job wrestling the coronavirus to the ground, is now donating extra PPE to India. The Navajo have been a model of resolve in fighting the pandemic, and are now a model in supporting others worldwide who need help.

[Kathy Dixon @kvdixon]

What you probably didn’t know... Thank you, @DrHanRen https://t.co/kwY9oh2xrU

Inclusion does not = equity.

Diversity does not = justice.

Tolerance does not = love.

[Denton ISD @dentonisd]

We are aware of @GovAbbott's decision to rescind the statewide mask mandate on March 10th. We are taking a look at what that means for our learning environment but please understand the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
