It's not your job to fix a toxic workplace from the bottom.

If leaders at the top aren't committed to change, the best way to stay sane is to shield yourself and support your team.

Your responsibility is to protect your well-being, your career, and the people you care about.

[Lauren Proctor @proctorisin]

That’s how it’s done.

Always go where you are celebrated, not just tolerated.

Students have so much POWER! All you gotta do is tell a class of teenagers that the government has outlawed them learning about (insert topic) and bam! Phones out and they’re going to start reading alllllll about it!!! 😎

[sarateacher27 @sarateacher27]

Teachers, this is the conversation we need to be having! All of these bills banning teaching Critical Race Theory in k-12 doesn’t mean you can’t teach about race and racism or design culturally relevant or responsive instruction. Those bills are trying to bully us into silence…

Late last night, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick violated the Texas Constitution to bring HB 3979 back from the dead.

This blatant rule-breaking is stunning, and a frightening reminder of the danger Trump Republicans pose to our democracy.

BUT there’s a silver lining...

[Lauren Proctor @proctorisin]

@Case8On @case8on educators do not deserve to be insulted. Periodt.

[Lauren Proctor @proctorisin]

Yes! #HB3979 is/was/will continue to be an insult to educators, students, society.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Last thing: I’m typically conflict avoidant. I try to resolve conflicts with colleagues before we get to the floor.

But as a former teacher who taught black & brown children, I found this bill to be personally offensive.

Our teachers & our students deserve better than HB 3979.
