Do we laugh at this thread? Cry? What are emotions anyway? Or did Covid-19 get rid of our sense of feeling and left us with existential dread for the rest of our lives (if we are lucky to have one at this point).

Still masking here

#NewProfilePic

Headline is clickbait (yes it exists 🙄), but community members came out to the BOE meeting last night and reaffirmed the need for diverse, equitable, nuanced, and critical instruction in our schools. Bravo!! patch.com/illinois/elmhu…

Chag Purim sameach, Illinois! May our day be full of celebration, community, and cheer!

Great article. Pay attention to who is running for board of education. Public education is important: thenation.com/article/politi…

Trans youth need to know there are parents out there who have their backs against cruel political attacks on their safety and rights. Take the pledge today and share this graphic widely. aclu.org/transkidspledge

What a toxic environment for some of our most valuable members of society - our teachers are the glue holding our kids education and social development together. We need to do better.

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.

We knew that masks and covid mitigation was never their end goal. They are coming for the decimation of public education as a whole and we cannot let them.

Is this a conspiracy theory or just “following the money?”

With recent news about masking on public transit and no update on when a COVID vaccine will be available for children under 5, families are understandably frustrated and concerned. Our take on protecting those too young to be immunized right now: 🧵

Our town is finally getting some positive press, thanks to the hard work and committed advocacy from our group members! patch.com/illinois/elmhu…

Can’t stop thinking about the belligerent parents who lost their shit over masking in schools, but won’t bring that same energy to keep their kids from being shot to death.

And this is how ROSE was started. Our plan? Mobilize local parents to demand safer schools.
