Schools need mask mandates. At UCPS, more than 7,000 people have been exposed to COVID-19. 1000 have tested positive. @NC_Governor you need to step in and call on UCPS to mandate masks. Will you help keep us safe? https://t.co/DhWiy7FxnE

Experiencing all this flooding in NYC right now and thinking about all the politicians who told me that pursuing a Green New Deal to adapt our nat’l infrastructure to climate change is “unrealistic” & “too expensive.”

As if doing too little is the responsible, adult thing to do?

If teachers are assigning grades right now, what they are grading is PRIVILEGE. Without the equalizing force of the school-building and its services, limited as they are, teachers are grading on access to technology, wifi, food and housing security, and ableism. 1/

@ashleyerb619 @WesternUnionES Max kept barking while I was trying to do my read aloud. I guess this is why we don’t bring them to school.

When you are literally between houses and school gets cancelled, you find a park and read. #selfcare #tryingnottostress

As you prepare home-based and digital learning options for your students due to school closures, please ensure kids have engaging, accessible books to read. Many do not own books or possess library cards. #bookaccessforall
