I’ve never asked you for a retweet, until now. texastribune.org/2018/06/18/…

"if you oppose birth control, don't use it. if you don't like abortion, don't have one. if you don't want to marry someone of the same sex, don't.
but, you have no right to tell others how to live, learn or love."

If you work in a school, you are important to more than just the kids. Staff morale is not usually a function of the students… but of the level of support, encouragement, trust, respect, and camaraderie that exists among the adults in the building.

There’s really nothing to lose by giving a student a second chance.
Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
There’s only the possibility of strengthening a relationship, demonstrating the power of empathy, and instilling a glimmer of hopeful recovery.

I don't know how I missed this before.
Diversity = Let's talk about non-white people and feel good about ourselves!
Equity = Let's talk about how whiteness continues to perpetuate systemic oppression of people of color.
No wonder equity is a bad word.

Just one educator can change the trajectory of a child! A T must believe “I’m on a mission!” NOT “I’m on a job!” Ts on a mission believe in all children regardless... @PrincipalKafele #tabse2019

Equity can be summed up as a reflection of a teacher's humanity toward ALL of the students in the classroom.

“Equity is hearing someone’s voice about what they need and providing them with that.”

Relationships will always suffer when being right is more important than being kind.

Every minute spent complaining is a minute spent not solving the problem. You choose your mindset. Do it wisely. – at Phoenix, AZ

We've got to stop punishing one another for having nuanced views on complicated ethical issues. Not everyone who falls into the pro-choice camp is pro-abortion, not everyone who falls into the pro-life camp is anti-woman & not everyone who falls somewhere in between is spineless. – at Cleveland, TN

When a student struggles with reading, we find out why & teach them.
When a student struggles with math, we find out why & teach them.
When a student struggles with their behavior, we need to find out why & teach them... not just punish.

The fact that Trump/conservatives think #BibleLiteracy would help them shore up the religious nationalism & devotion to unfettered capitalism they need to justify the oppression of the poor and of immigrants shows you just how biblically illiterate we all are.

This is a convenient lie that people tell themselves and others. Racism persists as one of the Triple Evils that my father spoke about. It fuels housing discrimination, constructs the school to prison pipeline and is the cement that would be used to build the wall. #MLK #MLK90
In less than two generations, the United States transformed itself from a largely racist society to a largely non-racist one, writes @Jeff_Jacoby. trib.al/btdG2Zd

A respectful suggestion as we get deeper into this grave year for our country: Remember and remind others of that core American value: no one—not even a President—is above the law. And carved into stone at our Dept. of Justice are the words, “Where law ends, tyranny begins.”

President Trump, you want to talk about crises. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, tens of millions of workers in our country are earning starvation wages and are unable to adequately provide for their families.
janagoebel retweeted
It's bizarre that there is still any semblance of a debate as to whether the president is racist. He's shown us in ways that are about as blatant as possible.
This all reflects the country's complete inability to name & understand the manifestations of racism in any serious way.

A2: We need to remember this work is not easy and not just a one-time workshop. Equity work is a continuous journey and learning experience. We need to understand we are all at different places in the journey, and that’s okay as long as we’re committed to growing. #hacklearning
