The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) turns 50 today.
I fear it could be the last year the law is intact.
It was never fully funded by any administration, nor is it a perfect solution for inclusion. But its existence has been a vital path to education access.
We must protect it.

Thinking of my #Latine people—especially civilians of #Mexican descent as we remember our loved ones who have passed on to the afterlife.
Now is an opportune moment to examine the legacies & memories we are creating as we reminisce about those left by our dearly departed.

Lee Grant's Down & Out in America won an Oscar in 1987. Tracy Chapman's timeless folk classic about surviving #poverty & broken promises in the US hits deep in the core of those who endured. Solutions exist.
And yet our country sidesteps them every decade as coffers grow.

I own the first listed banned book An African American and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz. And plan on adding other banned books to my personal library such as Mexican Whiteboy by Matt de la Peña.
You can ban the books. But you can’t erase our legacies nor our spirits.

One of the best ways to mark #HispanicHeritageMonth is with a book exploring the rich cultural heritage of Hispanic-Americans and their countries of origin.
But for countless school children across the country, those stories are out of reach: pen.org/books-that-e... #BannedBooksWeek #FreeTheBooks

"Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they're doing.”
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
