Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, who promised to do better after she was caught lying about wearing blackface in college, has fired a Black state education official over a “woke” Pre-k teacher training manual. al.com/educationlab/2023/04/…
So, no Black History before 1970. Nothing about Slavery, Jim Crow Laws, or Civil Rights. No wonder the kids walked out. #TBATs #FreedomToRead cbs42.com/news/local/200-stu… #BlackHistoryMonth @FLBATsA @GeorgiaBATs2 @MississippiBAT @KentuckyBATs @MemphisbatBa @SoCarolinaBATs @WVBats
Think of what we could accomplish if these billions were going to Public Schools instead of to greedy private interests? #SaveOurSchools #TBATs .@NoCarolinaBATs .@MemphisbatBa .@KentuckyBATs .@SoCarolinaBATs .@FLBATsA .@GeorgiaBATs2 #StopVouchers #SaveOurSchools .@WVBats

It's a fact that parents can want all they want, but the actual choosing is done by the charter & private schools. Voucher or no voucher. #SupportPublicSchools #TBATs .@FLBATsA .@MississippiBAT .@GeorgiaBATs2 .@KentuckyBATs .@MemphisbatBa .@NoCarolinaBATs .@SoCarolinaBATs

Public schools take everyone & work hard to advocate for all in their care. But some people don't want to allow that kind of acceptance & grace. They are threatening our schools. Time to say we won't tolerate their intolerance.

High interest classes are needed in schools. For some kids, it's the reason they come to school. That goes for Drama, Music, Industrial & Fine Arts, etc. too. Every child needs to find their niche. More here:

Hide those Pacing Guides for now. Concentrate on the kids. Some areas of the curriculum will take longer, but some areas will go quicker. Block out the outside pressure & just teach what the kids need. #TBATs @GeorgiaBATs2 @FLBATsA @MemphisbatBa @SoCarolinaBATs @NoCarolinaBATs
