yall not tired of fascism? yall not tired of it being reported so casually, so normally?

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

Will there be consequences? Maybe. Likely. Absolutely. But consequences are in place because they know if enough of us resist, things will change. Consequences are to discourage the few from becoming the masses. We are the masses. Where are the stories?

I love when I see students leave classrooms and schools to protest their accreditation status, loss of local control, bathroom bills, etc. We need more, now than ever. We need student organizing now more than ever

All of the Democrats who are tweeting- WHERE ARE YOUR RESOLUTIONS AFFIRMING Critical Race Theory? @JoeBiden where is your call on congress to create grants for schools to affirm racial justice education?

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

You know what Chinese families did when California refused language instruction in schools? Opened freedom schools. Black people in St. Louis opened up a school on a boat to avoid being prosecuted when it was illegal for Black kids to go to school. The history is long and vibrant

I don't want to read any more stories about teachers who have to change their Black Studies class. I want stories about teachers who are resisting the AP changes. I want to hear about parents organizing freedom schools. I want to see students sit in libraries with banned books
