I'm struggling with the group of educators mostly white who are against police murder but think taking police out of schools is "going too far'. If police are institutionally defending murder on the streets, why would we bring them into contact with our students?
CPS has a $33 million contract with CPD and today (June 2nd) is the last day for public comment. Send emails to CPS, your principals, and LSC members and urge them to advocate that CPS terminate their contract with CPS! https://t.co/3IrHCufTvk
Students Strike Back wants to hear from you! Why do you support the CTU contract fight?
Send us a video with #StudentsStrikeBack! We want to compile all the videos and show CTU we have their back.
#CPS teachers outraged after complaining for months of a dirty school -- then, in a rush to pass inspection, cleaners come and turn their school upside down. This is CPS' first effort at doing better. @WBEZ https://t.co/a4g75rqAX8

“I'm running for mayor of Chicago because Chicago does not have a mayor. The bankers, investors, and developers have a mayor. But folks who want a decent neighborhood school, a pension they can rely on, and safe neighborhoods — they don’t have a mayor."

CTU President Karen Lewis, who has spent decades fighting for our students, to youth who mobilized for #NationalSchoolWalkout: "I am so proud of you for standing up with leadership and courage to fight for equity and real justice.”

#sexualeducation is both a basic human right and robbed from most of our youth, especially along the fault lines of inequity in our society.
If you teach a #sexed course and don't teach consent, and equitably education LGBTQQIAA students, then you are hurting young people.
As a teacher, I knocked myself out headbutting ceiling pretending to be a particle, star-jumping off a desk.
I've set my arm on fire when lit ethanol trickled down sleeve, from my hand.
I've burnt my ear listening if gas was coming out of a bunsen.
Please don't give me a gun.
