If you’d like to see *actual former teachers* make the decisions that affect Michigan’s public schools, can you donate any amount now to help get three of us back to the legislature? https://t.co/cO5TgRTRVp

Two years ago on the Fourth of July, I shared @NPR’s reading of Frederick Douglass’s “What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth Of July” by his descendants to my teacher Twitter account (a thread 🧵)

I'm hiring! My team and I are looking for motivated individuals with an interest in politics to join our fellows canvassing team!

Due to the incredible interest, we are closing this application for our first round early. Apply at https://t.co/6lp3nnxFZe by Sunday.

If you are wondering why more teachers are not sharing their concerns, stresses and struggles on social media it is because they can’t— literally, they would be threatened (or maybe even reprimanded) by their administration, board and community.

The bill aims to preserve the largely forgotten history of the schools, where Indigenous children were sent through the 19th and 20th centuries to learn to speak English and practice Christianity, resulting in a loss of Native American language and customs.

BIG NEWS! I'm running to represent Downriver and Western Wayne County in the Michigan State Senate.

Our communities deserve bold leadership in Lansing -- and we shouldn't have to settle for anything less.

Let's go win! #CamilleriCrew

[Mr. Zawacki @teacherMrZ]

I know of a bunch of well deserving teachers at @HuronSchoolDist that fit the bill for this recognition. Make sure you get their nomination in ASAP! #TeacherOfTheMonth

First week in Lansing had views that couldn’t be beat 🏛✋🏼 @ Michigan State Capitol https://t.co/H4mdKw6Wgr…

[Mr. Zawacki @teacherMrZ]

Examining the past through different lenses (resource competition / classism, racism, nationalism, and militarism) may provide a historical explanation, but mandating an equal teaching treatment of “two sides” in reference to crimes against humanity is pedagogical asininity.

[Mr. Zawacki @teacherMrZ]

There are no “other sides” equal to debate during the study of genocide education. Full stop. There is a right and a wrong side.

[US Holocaust Museum @HolocaustMuseum]

The Holocaust is a fact. Here are resources for educators.

@_Derrico5 @darrincamilleri I’ll miss the classroom but definitely feeling like I just jump-punched a box and ate a good mushroom ✊🏼🍄

[Mr. Zawacki @teacherMrZ]

Hey everyone! I’m super excited to let you all know that I’ve just accepted a new role as @darrincamilleri’s Legislative Director for Michigan’s 23rd House District. Though I won’t be in the classroom, I’m always (and still) just an email or DM away.

2020-2021 Back-to-School message:

[Mr. Zawacki @teacherMrZ]

@LordOPies Garrett handed out a hot take about “bussin” so I asked him a follow up. I understand that a flex is an achievement, but can you flex on someone/thing without it being a thinly veiled social privilege? (aka an advantage available only to a particular person or group) @LordOPies

[Mr. Zawacki @teacherMrZ]

In today’s edition of “Hip Teen Slang” study sessions (I WILL be Ms. Faber!), I have a question for you all: with regards to “a flex”- is it ever NOT a privilege? Like, is a flex always a showing off in a financial superior way or are there other ways??
