Just a few years ago @cejnyc using our #CRSE Scorecard showed that @NYCSchools curriculum is 85% white even though NYC students are 85% students of color. Today @NYCSchools and @DOEChancellor took huge steps to change that. #CRESustainsMe #Education4Liberation #CEJWon

#EducationForLiberation @CEJNYC so proud to be just one of the many dedicated parents to participate in this work. Thank you all for endless hard work to make this a reality.
Parents of CEJ have fought hard for five years to bring this to fruition but we stand on the shoulders of generations of parents, students and educators in the decades before us who have been calling for this type of curriculum. #Education4Liberation #CRESustainsMe

Also, with the mayor and chancellor constantly insisting they're making decisions and changes with the input of the community, kinda wild we're hearing about these changes right now during a PEP meeting for the first time!

BREAKING: Chadwick Boseman — star of 'Black Panther' — has passed away from colon cancer at age 43. His family confirmed the news on Twitter Friday night, saying “he died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.” Here was his moving SAG award acceptance speech from 2019

I thought about attempting a review of #NiceWhiteParents as a teacher at a NON "big-three" middle school in D15, & as a working group member that developed the diversity/integration plan. Then I came across this one, written by @nwquah. 1/

Dr. Spencer’s groundbreaking theory, PVEST, pushed the field of dev psych to understand that systems of oppression impact youth’s identity development.

#GovernorAndrewCuomo would rather favor NY's billionaires and ultra rich instead of protecting children and their education. Don't cut schools #MakeBillionairesPay #FundNYschools #CantStopWontStop
#GovernorAndrewCuomo they are counting on you for a sound, quality education. My children deserve a full arts program, a full time social worker, a counselor and related services to be productive citizens of this society. #TaxTheRich #fundCFE #CantStopWontStop
