#tdih 1968 When asked at White House luncheon why young people are angry, Eartha Kitt said, because "You send best of this country off to be shot and maimed."
In retaliation for her honesty, gov't ruined her U.S. career for 10 years & CIA tracked her.

Incredible work, Ken…spending taxpayer money to ban something that was never taught, all while perfectly illustrating the very concepts CRT explains. Take a bow, Ken - you’ve managed to fight a phantom and prove its point at the same time.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Three years ago, I was honored to be a featured voice on this episode that now feels eerily prophetic. This weekend, they re-aired the duPont-Columbia Award-winning story, showing this fight was never just about curriculum - it’s about dismantling equity. Listen, then keep pushing back.

It was never about “CRT” - this was it the whole time. Some just got bamboozled. And now our kids, educators, and communities are going to pay for it.

Meet Heath, a Keller HS student who clearly understands the stakes better than many voters in his district. He’s calling out the rogue leadership bought & paid for by outside PACs, while too many others voted against their own best interests. Be Like Heath! #StandUp #Youth #NoVouchers #NoSegregation

Watching the Keller ISD school board meeting, I’m particularly proud of the students who took time to come & speak.
The youth get it! And that is what so many fear - youth who are open-minded, inclusive, critical thinkers who can see straight through the malarkey 👊🏽

Please give yourself some grace as you navigate the feelings that come with what’s transpiring in our country.
Take time for yourself.
Catch your breath.
Then, let’s get back out here and keep making noise.
We’ve got work to do! 👊🏽

Educators, students, and families deserve leadership who will not bow to the loudest, most hateful, elements in their communities. It should not be too much to ask to lead with grace, empathy, and compassion. If one cannot do that, they should move on.
