Two proposed Florida bills would make it ILLEGAL for individuals to get within 20 ft of a police officer or emergency medical personnel to film. Rather than criminalizing people who bravely document police behavior, why don’t our legislators focus on preventing police violence?!

This 9th grader had a cumulative grade point average of 0.75. He skipped school every other Friday (14 absences). Socializing and surviving was more a priority than academic success... But a few teachers never gave up on him. And in 2022, this young man earned his Ph.D. #Believe

Could two followers please copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always there, especially at this time of year. Call 800-273-8255 (National Suicide Prevention Helpline US). Just two. Any two. Let’s all look out for each other🙌🏽.

This is what education is all about...serving our children and families! I’m so glad to work for a district that sees a need and addresses it! Kudos Franklin County Public Schools!

I encourage everyone to reinforce these critical questions w/ kids! Imagine what would happen when they hear their barbers, church leaders, neighbors, & other community members asking them as well. It has a different vibe when their #rolemodels & #Heroes encourage them too!
Mr. Deskins is an exceptional leader and will continue the tradition of excellence at Fleming. – at Rocky Mount, VA

This was shared with me from an Area Superintendent who received it from a Principal. Nobody knows what pressure, stress or burden someone else is facing. #GiveGrace #BeKindAlways

Yes our work matters now more than ever. Until we bring awareness to the importance of being culturally competent and responsive, we will continue to see atrocities across this nation. I’m committed to continue the work and make a difference. – at Rocky Mount, VA
This past week only further commits me to the cause! There is no more pressing work we can do than creating a Culturally Responsive school division. How are we PRACTICING self reflection? How are we TEACHING empathy? How are we FIGHTING injustice? @BrendaMuse2 our work MATTERS!
