It's 2025 and I can't believe we need this reminder:

If you don’t know the story, protesters in #Portland are showing up in mascot costumes…this particular hero is in a frog suit.

My HS (w/2 Black students out of 1,200), offered Home Economics classes (and music w/school-provided instruments). My best friend went to a public school in Chicago with a predominantly Black student body and no home economics (or music). They weren't the "good old days" for everyone!
