This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Wow, I never knew he said this.
Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time—a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

Make kids read, write, speak, and listen to a language they don’t understand.
Calculate Taylor expansions, come up with explanations of varying plausibility as to why I can drop all terms that are higher than first order.

Here we go… One step closer to the Handmaid’s Tale. “We’re protecting the children!!”
As a resident of a city near Idaho, if I meet someone in this situation you can bet I’ll break this law 1000%.
Birth is traumatizing. Absolutely not something a minor should be forced into.

As with the persecution of trans people, they just *start* with minors
This week, a federal court ruled that Idaho can enforce its ban on interstate travel for abortion care for minors. www.huffpost.com/entry/idaho-...

Can we also talk about the multiple jobs teachers hold in order to “afford” paying for healthcare? I have two jobs, I need to find another one, just to afford my house payment, groceries, and gas to travel to work. Health insurance and other deductions take away 1/3 of my paychecks. And… #EduSky

This week’s battle: convincing teachers that their MLLs don’t need to pass spelling tests in order to show grade-level understanding. If you can understand what they are trying to convey, they are right where they should be. Celebrate that.

Now that the living room has been moved around to accommodate the Christmas tree, this has become my little nook. This is where I work on assignments, create lessons, and sit just to observe all that is happening around me. This room always has movement between two teens and a 7-year-old.

I’ve decided to see if I can get away with a Griswold Family Christmas classroom door. We’ll see if I get away with it…
“Jolliest bunch of students this side of the school district.”
Eye-rollingly stupid? Yes. And why it will bring me so much joy.

One of my MLLs told me today that her Dad died on Friday. F.R.I.D.A.Y!!!
And no one knew because her gen. ed. classroom teacher didn’t take her seriously when she told her on Monday. This is what microaggression looks like in action. 👎

This week two of my first-grade MLLs shared stories of kids in kindergarten saying that they don’t play with tan and brown skinned kids. One of them also said that he was told he was less than because he is black. Kids are taught to hate and the damage is done at such a young age.
