"When we don’t try because we don’t want to 'butcher' the name, offend the other person, look bad, be uncomfortable, or are too busy, we are not protecting them. We are doing it at the cost of the other person."

My husband John lived by a code: country first. We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There's only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is @JoeBiden.

Many who erroneously quote my father today to oppose #BlackLivesMatter, diversity training and the #1619Project would have maligned him and supported Bull Connor and George Wallace in the 1960s.

Put a small mirror on your laptop over the camera, open up Zoom or Google Meet and BOOM...you have a document camera! This would also be a great option for kids with Chromebooks to take photos of their written work to upload to Seesaw or Google Classroom! #remotelearning

If it is “un-American” to train federal workers to view racial inequities as the result of racist policy and not inferior peoples, then how would Trump describe an American? Trump is saying to be an “American” is to be racist like him and deny it like him. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

This group of girls jumped off their bikes, raced up to this open classroom window and chatted excitedly with their beloved former teacher at Pine Bush Elementary School. Teachers touch lives. They deserve our gratitude, now more than ever.@GuilderlandCSD

Educators nationwide are facing backlash for signaling inclusion and anti-racism. We are proud of this teacher and the students who rose to her defense. It's not up for debate that educators should value every child. More school leaders should say so.

Art is a necessary focus at the center of the learning experience.
It evens the playing field for kids with learning disabilities, those who are still learning English, or others with less background knowledge about a topic. ow.ly/EsZT50Bdb3D

In fostering future leaders, it's important for history education to illustrate how one form of injustice can inform another. That includes drawing the connections between historic racism and present-day environmental justice issues.

“You can actively teach being antiracist by discussing and pointing out that hierarchy and creating more of a communal learning environment where you are creating a mutual respect between you and your kids.” @AkieaG

We cannot traumatize people by jumping into business-as-usual as schools reopen. We MUST create space for healing, reflection, & metabolizing the pain of the moment we are in. Set the task list aside and create space for affinity groups, deep listening, and restorative practices.
