Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.

This is great information! As educators, it’s imperative we ALWAYS do what we can to protect our students!
Schools must remain sanctuaries where every child feels protected and supported. Educators and staff can help by providing resources, listening without judgment, and ensuring schools maintain policies that safeguard student privacy. www.aft.org/our-communit...

There are reports that Trump's immigration raids may target San Antonio. We know from history that mass deportation raids can lead to the arrest, detention, and deportation of even American citizens.

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually.
Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda.
Faced with authoritarianism in power, it is crucial we trust our own eyes.

Please, if you’re in Oklahoma, make your voice heard! Changing the history and science standards to “strengthen your biblical beliefs” are not only wrong HISTORICALLY & SCIENTIFICALLY, but should be illegal. Walters is a disgrace to public education and needs to GO.

So what you’re saying is that the government cares more about banning Tik Tok than they do about banning assault weapons in our schools…..got it. 🙄
