While we’re at it, this is EXACTLY what book banning looks like. Parents 100% always have the right to opt out their OWN child out of reading something in school. But to try and remove a Ruby Bridges children’s book from ALL our elementary schools is so….arrogant, at best.

As a white, cis, hetro woman, I haven't wanted to center my voice in what's happening right now. The world is already far too familiar w/my perspective. But I also don't want my silence to imply that I am indifferent to the pain and terror that people are experiencing, because...

It is official: MNPS buildings will stay closed for the remainder of the school year. But, the teaching and learning will continue. Our district is launching structured, enhanced learning so every child has access to a high-quality education. ow.ly/tTI550zfqEb

In order to keep every Tennessean safe during this pandemic, I am recommending that schools remain closed through the end of this school year.
We’re working with @TNedu and local leaders to ensure there is flexibility for districts to complete critical year-end activities.
