Found this picture yesterday and thought it appropriate to share today. The man on the far right is my grandpa escorting the first Black student to integrate Stafford County Public Schools in September 1961. 💕 Guess you could say caring about civil rights is in my blood?

TL;DR Governor Youngkin would rather score points "defeating the nonexistent epidemic of teaching Critical Race Theory" than to teach Virginia students accurately and improve the test scores he complains about time and time again.

If anyone needs a little motivation today, call (707) 873-7862. It’s a school project where kindergarteners give you a pep talk. It’s so cute 🥹😅. And it’s automated!

Did You Know? Before Uber or Lyft, SNCC developed a system of shared rides for organizers in the South called the Sojourner Motor Fleet.

The coolest!
At a school I've never been at before today. Some things I LOVE: PE class has roller skates. Instead of "specials", art, music, pe, and library are called "essentials". Big fan. The arts, movement, and humanities are indeed essential.

“Newly written laws or rewrites to governmental policy cannot write people’s innate identities out of existence.” No matter your context, you can either advocate for or model affirming spaces for trans students. Don’t erase them. learningforjustice.org/magaz…
