Tales from occupied #hisd. Wonder who got a kickback on all this equipment purchased? Wonder how many of the fired custodians could have kept their jobs, and how many real and needed resources could have been purchased, with this money. I hope @HoustonChron will investigate.

Can anyone guess why I didn’t hug this librarian at @SmithES_AISD? Loved her passion for reading, but I could not hug her! #myAldine

Read-In @ HISD. Reading is fundamental! Kids need functioning libraries and librarians.

A white apartment manager in Greensboro, NC, shockingly hit and poured soda on two Black adolescents using the complex’s pool. She has been arrested on two counts of simple assault — now she must be fully held accountable for her attack on these kids!

The First Lady of the United States knows that reading is fundamental. She has a section dedicated to children’s books in the library at the White House Way to go Dr. Biden.
