BlackLivesMatter & MeToo & Occupy have generated more honest public discourse on how racism & sexism & capitalism impact every facet of American life. So when ppl say "we've never been more divided" I cant help but wonder if it's just that *their* myth of America has been upended

The Supreme Court has upheld the travel ban on six majority-Muslim countries. How will you support students who may feel targeted, misunderstood and isolated from distant family members? These TT resources can help. #NoMuslimBanEver #SCOTUS https://t.co/XzFpdELSdq

You don’t kidnap people and offer to release them in exchange for what you want then call it “a compromise.”

That’s called a ransom.

What if schools were rated on access to opportunity, supportive resources, and having inclusive learning environments? The Schools of Opportunity project from @NEPCtweet provides some answers, with one of Denver’s large traditional high schools as an exemplar: https://t.co/gEzgg7q1Wh

It is impossible to empathize with the people quoted in this article. They say “I don’t want to lose my privilege.” There you go. Gentrifiers/Colonizers will ALWAYS go after theirs first. #falseprogress #weakallyship https://t.co/CM9n5MpZuw
