This team was exactly what I needed when I move lad to Colorado. I was burnt out and ready to leave public education, but working with them was healing in many ways. Today we received our team of the year award. Cheers to year 8.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

This is so true.
You know how y’all feel in this moment? You may be anxious, angry, scared, overwhelmed, checked out, etc.
The kids feel it too. Check on them and love on them. They aren’t alright either.

Ms. Claudette Colvin
"I was about 4 years old the first time I ever saw what happened when you acted up to whites" (Hoose, 12). But when she was 15, her bus ride would change history as she was the first to be arrested for not giving up her seat to white people, 9 mts before Parks.

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.
