These are the pages of my inaugural poem that an objecting parent cited as "not educational and have indirectly hate messages". And now because of that one complaint, my poem is now banned for elementary school students at a school in @MiamiDadeCounty.

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

Today, one of my students who has struggled with motivation, told everyone in the class “This is the first interesting thing I’ve learned all year!” She then proceeded to ask so many questions about the topic. She made my day, I love teaching 8th grade!

Teaching middle school this time of year requires the following mantra, “one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time”😂. We got this…

I have the best view of any classroom in my middle school☺️

A chief medical officer broke down crying talking about those who treated the victims from MSU.

Healthcare providers answer the call and see the brutal aftermath of gunshot wounds.

Why do we continue to let gun violence traumatize our children and country like this?

"Either you care about protecting kids or you don't.

We have children in Michigan living through their second school shooting in a year and a half.”

Thank you @RepSlotkin for having the courage to call it like it is. We must do more.

Now and in the future, we must remain steadfast in our efforts to ensure the torch of remembrance shines bright.

Within our classrooms & other places of learning, the world must never forget what can happen when hatred is allowed to thrive unchecked. #HolocaustRemembrance Day

[Meg Basilio @megbasilio1]

Never forget…Bless these angels and their hero’s protecting them. Do not go quietly into the night…I pray that we rage against a system that has allowed our most precious possessions to be taken

Very calming!

Wins and losses do not define Coatesville Football. Because we know that it's not always about football, it's about who you are when that uniform comes off...that's what defines Coatesville Football...that's what defines #VILLEMENTALITY.

I know I should be doing something constructive like planning for the new school year ….hanging with Molly and Teddy instead 🐶

[John Fetterman @JohnFetterman]

While you slept last night, the PA GOP started pushing a constitutional amendment to ban the right to an abortion in PA.

This is a full on assault on women. If they succeed, by this time next year PA could have the same abortion laws as TX.

We can’t let that happen.
