This morning I went to @AuroraPD’s meeting about Jor’Dell Richardson, a 14 year old student at my school who was shot and killed by an APD officer last week after already being taken to the ground by two officers who responded to a robbery of vape pens from a convenience store.🧵

The core of racist ideas rests on the assumption that cultural hierarchy explains racial and ethnic disparities. Not structures. In this case, racist ideas suggest certain racial and ethnic groups have higher or lower incomes due to their cultural superiority or inferiority. 1/
At the core of wokeness rests a single assumption: systems and not culture are responsible for producing disparities among groups. This assertion, which runs through the entirety of @DrIbram writings, is utterly destroyed by this one data set.

This black teen boy went to pick up his sibling but accidentally went to the wrong house, the owner of the home shot the kid in the head, then shot him again once he was down.
The neighbors won't speak, they "take care of each other"
In just three years we went from reimagining education to reimagining ways to return education to what it was in 2019.
It’s maddening how often teachers are asked to take racist school policies, inept curricular resources, with inadequate support and structures and create equitable outcomes. Antiracist education begins with dismantling racist systems.

Teachers...
When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you.
The misinformation will feel unfair, but stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth.
Be brave, be honest, stand tall and stay above it.

Backward systems thinking: Expecting teachers to attend to the social and emotional wellbeing of students within school systems that deteriorate the social and emotional wellbeing of teachers (and their students).
Texas Tech rightfully fired their basketball coach for his reference to players that suggest they should “follow their masters,” that language sounds familiar…@CCSDK12 sports.yahoo.com/texas-tech-…

My research shows that a big source of burnout for DEI pros are liberal-ish white admins who act as DEI gatekeepers and police mostly Black & Brown DEI specialists. The liberal white delusion is that often the gatekeepers see themselves as in solidarity w/ the people they police.

On #PresidentsDay, it is important to recall that at least twelve U.S. presidents enslaved Black people, eight while in office. Two-thirds of the first 18 presidents collectively enslaved nearly 2,000 Black people. We know what largely built this nation, and it wasn’t freedom.

“children are destined for beauty and growth. When a flower does not grow, we don’t uproot it… We look for solutions to facilitate its growth.” @GholdyM . And this is just the introduction!
Looks like we’re back to that version of equity where we capitalize ALL in front of the word students and the harmful mindsets and practices remain unchanged.
