Educator, First Gen, PhD student researching intersectional (micro)aggressions in education.

Also a mom to two baby bears (okay, they are human adults but still) and two puppies (actual canines).
This is the only way. Resist fear. Stand against injustice. Don’t make it easy.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Educators, We have power to reduce harm.

Stall.

Wait for proper authorities from your own institution.

Risk making them angry.

Among students in grades 6-12 the percentage of students who reported being bullied due to their sexual orientation MORE THAN DOUBLED between 2017-2022.

Protect your students.

Mention racism in schools and watch your educator friends assure you that this doesn’t happen in THEIR school.

I assure you it does. It is happening in your hallways, classrooms, and workrooms.

It is happening in subtle and not so subtle ways.

Step 1: Admit we have a problem.

So, I periodically see articles like this and think “ah, nice for them” but THIS TIME I AM “THEM”!

Thank you, President Biden. And thank you to a myriad of 5th and 8th graders who let me be a part of your academic lives for over a decade!

There are so many reasons not to require public school teachers to interpret an ancient text and indoctrinate the children…but at least we’re getting some sex ed in the mix.

“Yes, Sarah, it is unlikely his genitals were LITERALLY the of a donkeys. Let’s look at some photos to compare…”
