I looked out at my 6th gr students today & thanked them for being compassionate & respectful human beings. Then I coached in a gym filled w/ strong, confident young women who know they are so much more than what our society tries to tell them to be. There’s hope for our future.
Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI
1. Diversity
Good businesses look where others don't, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed.
You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain.
1a. We live in a country with very diverse demographics. In this era where trust of businesses can be hard to come by, people tend to connect more easily to people who are like them. Having a workforce that is diverse and representative of your stakeholders is good for business.
Happy Teacher Apprecation Week - especially to my own 6th grade teacher, Mrs. @mpeplinski13! Ms. Pep taught me pride, compassion, public speaking, and the importance of a daily cup of coffee! #TeacherAppreciationWeek
❤️truly the best feeling as a 6th grade teacher - being “awed beyond belief” when you still “see” their 11-12 year old smiles & energy in their current joy & passion! #fullcircle
Historian Jon Meacham on how the 16th president faced an election during the Civil War, when the continuation of democracy was still an open question - and how it resonates with the first post-insurrection midterm election. https://t.co/9pi49uOat4

We’re all well aware of what WI politicians have “criticized” about public education in Wisconsin, but serious question…what, since 2013 - have WI politicians in office or running for office done “for” public education & the kids of WI? Evidence-based comments only, thank you!
