[SCA @scasca16]

Courts are closed tomorrow for Juneteenth. My incarcerated clients, all of whom are black men, will remain in jail to celebrate the emancipation of slaves. This is America.

Ian Rosenblum's last job was leader of EdTrust NY, paid to advocate for high-stakes testing. He never was a teacher.

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

CPS and the mayor told us to open windows for additional ventilation...

[Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor @KeeangaYamahtta]

No one deserves to rest in peace than Karen Lewis.

LAUSD hiring school nurses! School nurses are critical for student health, in and out of school, and now they are taking on an amplified role in keeping school communities safe & healthy.

An elementary school music teacher shows how arts teachers can connect students to the school community during this time of remote learning.

I’m very disturbed about the possibility of Sharon Contreras for US Sec of Education. After reading tweets about this from @NPEaction leaders, I’d like to share our story from Nashville. @DianeRavitch @carolburris @JoeBiden @DrBiden 1/

"When he walked away from the discussion, he walked away from our children, he walked away from how we can open up our schools—virtually, actually or in hybrid form—how we can educate our children." — @SpeakerPelosi on #COVID19 relief talks with @realDonaldTrump

[United Teachers Los Angeles @UTLAnow]

We’re not opposed to a safe reopening of our schools for a small targeted population of students. However, at this point we’re concerned about whether LAUSD has the appropriate funding and resources to ensure the safety of our students and members. https://t.co/hCZl367gkI

[Southern Poverty Law Center @splcenter]

VICTORY! A federal court has ruled that Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and the U.S. Department of Education cannot divert desperately needed money away from public schools and into private schools!

[UP2020 @unionpower2020]

"The virus rippled out to the students’ homes and then to other schools and neighborhoods, ultimately infecting hundreds of students, teachers and relatives."

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The Israeli government, confident it had beaten the coronavirus, invited students back to school in May.

Within days, infections were reported at a Jerusalem high school. It became the largest outbreak in a single school in Israel, possibly the world. https://t.co/QYQKN3Vmu8

[United Teachers Los Angeles @UTLAnow]

“The district’s attempt to force staff back to school sites is out of step with the raging pandemic around us,” said UTLA Bargaining Team Co-Chair Arlene Inouye.

[UP2020 @unionpower2020]

We will not sacrifice our students or our members. The Trump/ DeVos agenda does not have the safety of students, educators or our communities as a priority. They're looking out for their own interest

[CNN @CNN]

Internal documents from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that fully reopening K-12 schools and universities would be the "highest risk" for the spread of coronavirus, according to a New York Times report https://t.co/nkHxzALUTs

[me @jennyrachelpal]

@NEAToday Trump should weigh in on reopening schools when:

The White House resumes public tours.

Trump interacts with untested visitors.

Trump’s children/grandchildren ride public transportation & attend public schools.

Fox broadcasts from studios.

Manafort & Cohen return to prison.

[Erika Jones @Erika78Jones]

We can envision police free schools that truly support the whole child, continuing the over policing of Black students because of your fear of mass shootings maskes no sense, #counselorsnotcops #studentsnotsuspects

[United Teachers Los Angeles @UTLAnow]

“I am mad that #LAUSD did not do anything about the ways that Black students are being policed. You have a Black youth-led movement, and you haven’t made the time to truly understand our data or where we are coming from..."
– Sarah Djato, Student Dorsey HS / Students Deserve

[Erika Jones @Erika78Jones]

I would add what they did with restorative justice, it can’t just be a binder given to Teachers and left on the shelf and the system of power within schools has to be addressed

[United Teachers Los Angeles @UTLAnow]

Don't let the billionaire class tell you there is not enough money for education. Organize and be strong!
