@Zenith001_HD @mikeburnam @DrIbram Though the expression of racism may have changed over time, it still very much is a current problem imo.

[Zachary Morford @zacmorford]

@mikeburnam @SafiyyJalali @DrIbram As white people were needed to acknowledge the systemic privilege that we have from a racist system. We have to stop getting caught up in the "I'm not racist" trap. How many white people are afraid of dying when pulled over by a police officer?

There was a time in this nation’s history when slaveholding politicians blamed abolitionists for the deaths of all those illegals resisting slavery. Abolitionist policies were allowing slaves to think they can break the law, slaveholders said.

History is rarely history.

Exploding Individual-1's Wall Myths:
1. Number of people trying to cross southern border is lowest since the 70's.
2. 2/3rds of undocumented are those who overstay their legal visas.
3. All immigrants are less likely to commit crime than the native-born.

@itscedsworld @PotataHed @INKnBURN Your fashion game is real! The struggle never goes away, you just go faster. Great work.

What if growth mattered even more on STAR? And demographics less? https://t.co/alBHdEgQ8L via @empowerk12

The best source of analytic power in education! Thanks @empowerk12 and @jbootsdatanerd

If you haven't checked out my @empowerk12 team's dashboards allowing you to quickly and beautifully dive into the new DC school report card ratings, you should! https://t.co/ZXQadPXwWH

[EmpowerK12 @empowerk12]

Is the STAR correlated with the percent at-risk served by the school? Yes. But not as much as PARCC achievement alone, lower coefficient and shallower slope. Look for more on this from us next week.

Way to go @Lizzie4Congress. I know you can make a difference here in DC!

[Lizzie Pannill Fletcher @LizziePFletcher]

We did it! Thank you to every single member of Team Lizzie—for your energy, your optimism, and your tireless efforts. I am honored, humbled, and grateful to be your Congress member-elect. And I am so optimistic about what we will accomplish together in the future. #TX07

Implicit bias takes many forms. Thanks for highlighting this. https://t.co/zu7OnDWRCT

“Once educators recognize that they are biased against forms of brilliance other than their own, they can finally begin to truly teach.” Thank you for the read @chrisemdin

[Dr. Glenda Gilmore @GilmoreGlenda]

Great start. Now cover today's legal lynchings-police brutality, hate crimes, unfair trials, & disparate sentencing-justly.

Easy to look @ history and be ashamed. Harder to apply those lessons to yourself in the present. https://t.co/jlZW4hVFiW
