Save our schools and ports from privatization

@Scott_Wiener lol none of that is true

Teachers with OEA for Palestine sent out this press release yesterday that lays out their intentions for their From Gaza to Oakland teach-in today:

[Zack Haber @ZZZZZZZZZZZack]

OUSD leadership has criticized how some of its teachers plan to teach about Israel / Palestine and has suggested they uses lessons from The Institute for Curriculum Services instead.

Here are two things I've found out about that institute. A thread:

[Parents United @ParentsUniteOak]

Parents United was born in 2014 when OUSD began emailing inaccurate, manipulative info (b4 infographics were a thing) intended to turn parents against beloved teachers. @OUSDNews is activating even more parents to #StandwithOaklandTeachers and is afraid to allow us to respond.

“If you want [your child enrolled] at a site affected by closures, please hold off on enrolling your student until the new school board is sworn in and we’re able to vote to rescind those closures.” @Val4OUSDschools

[The Oaklandside @Oaklandside]

Oakland school closures may not happen under new OUSD board.

Three new directors will join the board in January with an aim to rescind the closure plan, improve academic outcomes, and establish a culture of consensus.

A lawsuit is being prepared against the Oakland Unified School District for using security guards to attack parents and teachers during a sit-in.

Activists with @SLAPBayArea share how they were attacked while trying to fight to keep the now closed Parker Elementary School open.

[Parents United @ParentsUniteOak]

So many problems with this dual role of @OUSDNews staffer Monica Thomas - Supporting elementary schools as network supe and choosing which schools to close as Deputy Chief of Continuous School Improvement. It's time for a change. #oakedu

[postmistress @postmistressG]

Don't see much disagree with here but also trying to parse this No position McAlevey in the context of OEA's flop of a TA in 2019 where the McAleveyian leadership forced a yes vote on 11% over 4 years, declaring a "historic victory" whilst we picketed against cuts to classified

[Parents United @ParentsUniteOak]

The @ousdnews enrollment window is open, but the 6 six schls the bd planned to close in June are not options. THAT WILL CHANGE when the newly elected bd maj votes to overturn that, and you can WAIT to enroll until FEB 10 without penalty. #oakedu

@SasakiNews @MelissaCulross @KCBSRadio Melissa did you know John before he became a PR hack covering up for physical attacks on parents and teachers?

[Schools & Labor Against Privatization @SLAPBayArea]

These unlicensed goons were hired by Kyla Johnson-Trammell and given the green light by Josh Daniels, someone OUSD was previously warned about by Berkeley NAACP for his attacks on black staff and educators in general at Berkeley Unified

[Schools & Labor Against Privatization @SLAPBayArea]

New video of OUSD’s 8/4 attack on the parents & teachers peacefully protesting at Parker Elementary to protect public education. #oakedu https://t.co/1GSXIcoykK

[Schools & Labor Against Privatization @SLAPBayArea]

@berkeleyRnF These flyers tho 🔥🔥

[Schools & Labor Against Privatization @SLAPBayArea]

@ParentsUniteOak Critical for any analysis of the ‘22 OUSD school board race. What should we make of it when anti-closure candidates refuse to cooperate with their allies through RCV?

[Parents United @ParentsUniteOak]

Lessons to learn...

[Schools & Labor Against Privatization @SLAPBayArea]

Join us TOMORROW (Weds 11/30) in solidarity w/ teachers facing retaliation for their activism preserving public ed. Rally outside OUSD’s HQ (1000 Broadway) 4-5pm to hear from impacted educators, sing original protest songs & make art! We’ll march to the board meeting at 5
#oakedu

[Parker For The People @saveparker510]

Teachers have been speaking out against the racist school closures and OUSD is retaliating against them. This creates a dangerous culture of silence where teachers might fear speaking against educational inequities. Stand with OUSD teachers fighting 4 student justice! March tmrw!

[Judy Greenspan @greenspan_judy]

Stop the retaliation against Oakland teachers!
