When you teach American Literature, you can't but help give students examples of #GoodTrouble #oklaed

When can I admit that I wish I was part of a woke liberal mob of Oklahoma teachers? #oklaed

Public school teacher @bakerleft contributes this Community Voices piece about his struggle to comply with the spirit of #HB1775 which so far has been applied more often than the letter of the law.

Oh please don’t mistake me for being anti-union. I’m incredible pro-union but the FOP is not a union. Police have historically been used to break strikes and quash union action. They are not in solidarity with workers.

We went from “social studies teachers are a bunch of coaches who don’t teach” to “social studies teachers are indoctrinated at elite universities and practice their craft so well as to undo all parental and sacred teachings with one lesson on race or gender” at breakneck speed.

The hitch in positive behavior programs that focus on rewarding "good" behavior: research shows that educators interpret behavior differently across race. If we don't fix that, at least part of what we're rewarding with these programs is whiteness.

I understand the general value of resilience. What I don't understand is white educators looking at children facing racist discipline policies, curricular erasure, mountains of racism, and, while ignoring the racism, thinking, "What YOU need is resilience."

Shout out to @bakerleft for pulling off Oklahoma @gencitizen ‘s first ever school based Civics Day.

Dear School Administrators, as a reminder the Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." The ACLU of OK has and always will support students exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

Aaron Baker (he/him) retweeted
A new lawsuit alleges the law is vague and hard to dissect, has had a chilling effect on the terminology and lesson plans teachers incorporate into their instruction, and discriminates against historically marginalized students.
