My daughter Amanda is diving right in as a middle school social studies teacher, bringing a busload of 8th graders to see @HamiltonMusical! Please consider making a donation to this great cause -- $500 away from making this experience free for these largely underprivileged kids.

Read: My editorial on the need for the legislature to fully ban corporal punishment in schools this session. “…Our lawmakers have a responsibility to put aside any political excuses used in the past and finally end the paddling of students.” #kyga22 courier-journal.com/story/op…

Tomorrow, the KBE will take up a regulation to limit when corporal punishment can be used in Kentucky schools. Below is the public comment I wrote and submitted to the Board.

We've had a surge of interest in our PAID virtual Ed Justice Writing seminar since last week, but the window is closing fast. KY students have until 12 pm ET Tuesday to register, and we are summoning the Twittersphere to help us ensure we leave no youth writer behind!
Are you a KY student who wants to learn how to write for education justice? Do you want to get PAID to do it? Register for our 3-week virtual seminar with @ya_greenhouse here--and now! youngauthorsgreenhouse.org/n…

The Governor who has kept us safe has also been keeping his promise to put our people back to work. This is a huge win for Team Kentucky, for us all, & will be, rightly so, a huge legacy for @GovAndyBeshear. This is transformative, people centered, leadership!
This is the single largest economic development project in the history of our state and this project solidifies our leadership role in the future of the automotive manufacturing industry. We thank @Ford and SK Innovation for this investment. Read more: go.usa.gov/xMUVy

Grateful for the @KYYMCA for giving myself and other students the opportunity to not only learn about civic processes, but also apply them in a practical setting! Proud of my dad @DavidByerman for serving on their board and ensuring that more students will get that same education – at South Carolina, USA
Thank you to everyone who has donated to our @KYYMCA annual campaign! There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing thousands of young people participating in the Y's #civiced programs. Your support makes a huge difference during these challenging times: give.kyymca.org/Byerman2021

If you have the means, please consider donating to their annual fundraiser (link found in quote tweet). It enables the Y to award scholarships to lower or eliminate the cost of their conferences for attendees, opening the door for a well-informed public. – at South Carolina, USA

Today, I attended The Marvin Heller Community Garden Dedication. “You can see how much Marvin loved his community and how much his community loved him!” People like Marvin make Columbia a better place to live, work and serve. What will your legacy be? #ColumbiaCantWait

Tomorrow we march to #FireAllAbusers. Join us to demand accountability and justice from #UofSC. eventbrite.com/e/fire-all-ab…
Our right to demand change without fear of punishment is in danger. We’re joining @Stu_Voice, @kystuvoiceteam, @HISDStuCon, & @ssdpofficial to fight for student free speech with an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court & our schools cannot diminish our voices.
