They call immigrants criminals as they unleash a crime wave.

They call immigrants rapists as they keep raping people.

They call immigrants invaders as they keep invading communities.

They call immigrants murderers as they keep murdering people.

Hey if you're a teacher who supports ICE, fuck off. Quit your job. Genuinely, I'd rather my kids' school be short staffed than have you there.

I mean it with my whole heart.

This has to stop. We are failing the children and educators in America. There is blood on our hands.

“Among the many tragedies of the Minneapolis school shooting is how commonplace a story like this has become,” German Lopez writes. But “the prevalence of this problem is not normal, no other country has to deal with it to this extent, and we are not powerless to act.”

The prevalence of mass shootings in America is not normal, no other country has to deal with it to this extent, but we are not powerless to act.

I can't wait for my students to see the new playground murals next week! I'm also pretty proud of myself for trying something new, collaborating with other teachers, and making something beautiful for our community.

First they locked children in cages, now they want to leave children all alone in perhaps the most vulnerable and consequential moments of their lives. Nope. Not on our watch. #NoChildAlone

Trump Republicans hate the Department of Ed for the same reasons they hate education. They view education as a waste of funds since it exposes their fraud and prevents their abuse of American minds through their outlets of disinformation. Trump Republicans want a country of believers, not thinkers.
