Teachers shouldn’t be punished for affirming their students’ humanity. Our students matter, & we will no longer tolerate them being systemically damaged, silenced, and failed.
To our Black students: we see you, we stand w/you. YOU MATTER.
@rickhess99@TheHillOpinion Also, one might argue that say, social studies text books, can be politically biased (Just one example: https://t.co/1y3mymVDI8), but are understandably funded via federal or state funds. I'm curious about why and how civics curriculum could or should be treated differently?
@rickhess99@TheHillOpinion Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's clear that civics ed in our current environment is primed for contention. My question for you: you seem to critique federal funding of chosen civics curricula. This is something that takes place in other all instructional areas as well...
@rickhess99@TheHillOpinion I'm curious about how you suggest civics curricula be funded, if not through federal or state funds. Surely, leaving it to local sources could further sway the political leanings of the curriculum, would it not?
To our Women & Girls:
You are powerful.
You are limitless.
Your contributions to this world are brilliant, needed & uniquely yours.
Your ideas are substantive.
Your lived experiences belong at decision making tables.
You deserve a life free from fear, filled with dignity & love.

Too often, lessons about Reconstruction and the 15th Amendment fail to center Black activists who led the way and highlight the resistance they faced. That history continues to echo in efforts to subvert voting rights today. #BlackHistoryMonth

We all know that traditional K-12 math and science education excludes women, people of color, native people and other marginalized populations.
STAY TUNED as we launch the CRSE STEAM Curriculum Scorecard. https://t.co/JIoY1G7qHd
Betsy DeVos has never done her job to help America’s students. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that she’d rather quit than do her job to help invoke the 25th Amendment.
Good riddance, Betsy. You were the worst Secretary of Education ever. https://t.co/im1IgGQVSp
If anyone thinks what is happening in America has nothing to do with the American education system and therefore should not be covered & discussed in schools, think again. This is now OUR political process. This is now OUR history. Don’t look away! Don’t ignore! This is America.
@CailaTess@mjmcalliwrites I like that idea! Seems more realistic. My issue is holding myself accountable to evaluate and reset at the end/beginning of each month.
@JoeYonan i got your Cool Beans book for Christmas and don’t think there has ever been a more “me” cookbook. Thank you! I appreciate the frequent referenced to ATS and @kenjilopezalt too 🙏
