It’s not about decolonizing the education system, because that system is built on the continued oppression of our peoples. It’s simply about being the instructor I needed as I navigated that system in my student years. Be the support, the change, the love. Students are human.

Oppression is not just a matter of individual haters and abusers. It's also the social infrastructure of institutions and influencers that defend, reward, and platform them in spite of harm. So many telling on themselves.

Noting that in AP copy, 18-yeear-old Michael Brown was an “18-year old Black man,” while 18-year-old Payton Gendron is a “white teenager.”

Reminder: It’s okay to *not* thank fascists for their “leadership”. The role of premier is not that of a volunteer. Their time, effort, contributions, etc. are completely compensated for. Handsomely. You do not owe Kenney anything. He has already taken far too much.😔

Dr. Seidel broadened and brightened my teaching practice irrevocably. The curricular wisdom in this 🧵 is 🔥 #ecologicalheartofcurriculum #payattention #workthatisreal

Schools & children don’t need saviors, they need anti-racist educators!

If your Indigenous allyship & commitment to decolonization, Indigenization, and reconciliation stops at not wanting to cancel or reformat your observation of canada day, then it is not true allyship. If this makes you uncomfortable or angry, sit with it and ask yourself, “why?”

On #math and #learning and being human. This is so good. ✨ “the freedom that came with not knowing, the surprises that became possible…” quantamagazine.org/june-huh-high-…

On my walk this morning. These rusty chain link fences & big monoculture lawns make me heartsick. Complete failure of imagination about what children, the 🌎, & the present/future deserve and require for LIFE TO GO ON. 🧵

The lawn and the fence ARE the most powerful curriculum. Everything that matters in life is omitted here. Everything that sustains life is absent by design. The school resembles a factory (or prison) on purpose (see Foucault). 🧵

The radical changes necessary in this moment require radical transformation of the schooling project … maybe the hardest cultural transformation of all. But getting rid of the hideous rusty fences & The Big Lawns would be an imaginative and courageous beginning.
