Incredible work, Ken…spending taxpayer money to ban something that was never taught, all while perfectly illustrating the very concepts CRT explains. Take a bow, Ken - you’ve managed to fight a phantom and prove its point at the same time.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Three years ago, I was honored to be a featured voice on this episode that now feels eerily prophetic. This weekend, they re-aired the duPont-Columbia Award-winning story, showing this fight was never just about curriculum - it’s about dismantling equity. Listen, then keep pushing back.
In 2020, a new high school principal felt moved by the renouncement of racism he saw all around him, and he sent a thoughtful email to parents and teachers that got lots of praise. Less than a year later, that same email would threaten his job. https://bit.ly/4hEhJc6

It was never about “CRT” - this was it the whole time. Some just got bamboozled. And now our kids, educators, and communities are going to pay for it.
Breaking: The Texas Senate late Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that would create state-managed education savings accounts that let families use public funds to subsidize private school tuition.
Senate Bill 2 now heads to the state House.

Meet Heath, a Keller HS student who clearly understands the stakes better than many voters in his district. He’s calling out the rogue leadership bought & paid for by outside PACs, while too many others voted against their own best interests. Be Like Heath! #StandUp #Youth #NoVouchers #NoSegregation

Watching the Keller ISD school board meeting, I’m particularly proud of the students who took time to come & speak.
The youth get it! And that is what so many fear - youth who are open-minded, inclusive, critical thinkers who can see straight through the malarkey 👊🏽

Now we face more McCarthyism-like teacher loyalty oaths, laws & book bans to criminalize teaching honestly about U.S. history.

“He is uniquely qualified," a DOJ official told NBC News. "How many other prospective attorneys general had previous experience as the subject of a criminal investigation?" www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
DOJ stunned at Trump's 'insane,' 'unbelievable' choice of Matt Gaetz for attorney general
The president-elect selected Gaetz, who has repeatedly spread falsehoods about the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and was previously investigated by the Justice Department, to run DOJ.

Educators, students, and families deserve leadership who will not bow to the loudest, most hateful, elements in their communities. It should not be too much to ask to lead with grace, empathy, and compassion. If one cannot do that, they should move on.
