The Trump Administration Is Bullying Educators. We Can Fight Back (Opinion) As just about every K-12 teacher or administrator knows, going along with a bully only encourages them.

I've just written this post for @edweek.bsky.social --- The Trump Administration Is Bullying Educators. We Can Fight Back www.edweek.org/leadership/o...

Just Mercy is one of the most important books I have ever read. Truly an honor to hear Bryan Stevenson speak at #NCTE24 this morning. One of many gems important in this moment:
β€œWe are denying the beauty of justice when we refuse to tell the truth.”

I feel like you had to be a certain age to even know who Lorena Bobbitt is πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ The people around me seemed confused. They should’ve checked out the interpreter!!

Today the ELATE Executive Committee noted their dissatisfaction and disappointment that this group is allowed to remain in the exhibit hall. NCTE can and should do better.

It was an honor to hear the history-making Justice Brown-Jackson at #NCTE24 (even if they started well before the longest line I’ve ever seen made it into the room 😑)

There are SO many great sessions tomorrow, but if you have a slot, we would love to see you, talk about centering joy, listen to great music, and draw! #NCTE24

A lot of people have shared this poem over the past week. It’s a sentiment I think about a lot, especially now.

I hope everyone is doing what they need to take care of themselves. One step at a time. One day at a time.

Also why is she writing on the very full chalkboard with a marker?

Keynote speakers at #NCTE2023 were a real highlight. So much encouragement to keep fighting ignorance and book bans from Tom Hanks and Angie Thomas

First time hearing Jacqueline Woodson speak in personβ€”at #NCTE23. She is just as warm, brilliant, and amazing as I would have imagined from her writing. #fangirling
