Join us in supporting Nancy Skinner's #SB274, an important step in replacing harsh discipline with compassion. As educators, we know that it is critical step to #showthemlove. Help spread the word.

#SB274 will stop suspensions and expulsions for willful defiance and truancy in all CA schools. Consequences like these that deprive students of time in school only compounds the problem. Stay tuned for more info about why this is so important and what comes next! #showthemlove

Thank you Asm Ed Cmte, Asm. Al Muratsuchi, @AsmKevinMcCarty, @Alex_Lee & Sharon Quirk-Silva for voting to move #SB274 forward & eliminating this practice that perpetuates systemic inequities. Thank you Nancy Skinner for championing this bill. #showthemlove

We are thrilled #SB274 is moving forward. At the same time we must also explore the underlying biases that drive the current discipline practices. #showthemlove
