Good luck.

It’s California.

Few if any states have stronger teachers union protections.

According to the article she is tenured. Tenure has become a shield to protect bad teachers and professors making it more difficult to have the removed. Language isn’t about race.

but what about eliminating white supremacy in the classroom? after all, our attorney general stated that white supremacy is the biggest democracy threat and apparently it’s everwhere. thankfully brave teachers are standing up to the rules that keep marginalized groups down.

I've just finished watching 'The Wire' for the fourth or fifth time. Often referred to as one of the best television series ever... it almost certainly wouldn't be made today. Much too realistic for a lot of folks.

Is that a bad thing?

I'm not surprised by this. Years ago, I met with a school principal who said to me "grammar is about status and privilege."

These ideas have been around for awhile.

And people wonder why Blacks always come in last in any type of testing.

This type of teaching may be more prevalent than we think.

At least she has some awareness. More than can be said for most of you.
