Night 2 underway & Tukka wanted in on the Antiracist action. Can’t wait to dive into the main Q of the night. Paul Gorski | Equity Literacy Institute Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz Cornelius Minor Cheryl E. Matias, PhD. FCPS Title I

Night 3 and Cheryl E. Matias, PhD. is cracking 🍳 of knowledge about white emotionality. If you don’t “see color” but become belligerent when you talk about race, do you also become belligerent when talking about unicorns? Because I’m pretty sure you’ve never seen that either. 🔥

Session 3 and Cornelius Minor has prepped differentiated Qs for each panelist. Each Q builds and focuses on what’s important- our kids. Cheryl E. Matias, PhD. Paul Gorski | Equity Literacy Institute Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz FCPS Title I

Parents/teachers in VA: the proposed changes to the Social Studies/History standards are highly problematic and we should all be VERY concerned. We need to take action by TOMORROW before the VBOE meets. See this doc for the issues and ways to take action tinyurl.com/VA-SocialStudi…

A reminder that TODAY is the day the VA Board of Education will meet about the new social studies standards. DM me if you need a sample letter. Happy to share.
