Thanks @sharemylesson.bsky.social for taking on tough topics we must face to improve student outcomes. Schools need better policies, enforcement, and training to ensure all stakeholders are effectively addressing gender bias and misogyny in schools without retaliation. @rweingarten.bsky.social

We created a free program, SASH Club--Students Against Sexual Harassment --to build safety, both on and off campus. Under the current U.S. admin, students' Title IX rights are barely enforced. It's essential that youth are provided the resources they need. Learn how to start a club at sashclub.org!

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” includes a tax loophole for billionaires—practically paying them to “donate” to private school tuition for families earning up to $500,000 a year. It increases the deficit & weakens public schools.

Tell your lawmakers: Say NO to school vouchers.

SSAIS welcomed the opportunity to share our perspectives about the impact of deepfake images on students in @politico.com: Schools must consider the application of the federal civil rights law, #TitleIX, when incidents impact a student's learning. Learn more here: www.instagram.com/p/DJ5I8UsyExW/

By focusing on an extreme expression of misogyny “we may miss a conversation about what is happening every day and ...[the] mundane [yet harmful] ways that these expressions of misogyny and sexism are coming from young boys in schools,” notes @drstephaniewescott.bsky.social

The Adolescence alarm: ‘If there’s a problem with boys’ behaviour, it’s because of us’

Millions have been gripped by a story of toxic masculinity in children that’s been called a ‘wake-up call’. But is it a moral panic, and how should we respond?
