The #FBRC already studied low-income & ELL rates, & their recs were included in @MA_Senate's #MAEdu funding bill. House explanation for leaving poor kids behind doesn't stand up to #facts. It's time for policy-makers to do our jobs & take action. #mapoli
“The reliance on local property taxes to fund education continues to widen the educational divide between the haves and have nots.” #FBRC#MAEdu#McDuffyRedux https://t.co/opexoMAvnn
This isn’t over. Thousands of kids have been ripped from their parents with no plan to reunite them. And now @realdonaldtrump wants to create new detention camps for families. Separating kids is unacceptable – but indefinite imprisonment of families is still cruel & inhumane.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights “expressed deep concern over recent policies adopted by the United States that led to the forceful separation of children from their families..that any State would seek to deter parents by inflicting abuse on children was unconscionable.”
Let’s remember that—thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court decision ‘Plyler v. Doe’—it is “unconstitutional for a state to deny students access to public elementary or secondary education based on their immigration status.” Period. #Immigration https://t.co/OaLzK3e0Ni
This is a PSA for those in and out of our community:
Pride exists because of a woman.
Pride exists because of a black woman of color.
Pride exists because black trans woman of color.
Pride exists because of a black trans woman of color who was a sex worker.

“Grading teachers doesn’t make them more effective; constant conversations and snapshot observations will,” @mssackstein argues. https://t.co/o8t4Yq8kE1 #ewopinion
"The more that 'teaching to the test' dominates the school day, the more creative learning gets sidelined... We need to invest in children's imaginations." https://t.co/Ou0HzDx7FL #EWopinion
@BetsyDeVos Come look for pencils in any public school. You'll find we teachers buy our own so that our students are ready to learn. https://t.co/8NDLka00Vs
