Great article here by Yawu Miller. The same description and programs apply when discussing other large, comprehensive high schools in BPS (i.e., English High and Brighton) that have already been punished under the state’s failed only-MCAS accountability system

The thing about a “return to normalcy” is that normal sucked balls. Covid exposed all the cracks and fissures in our society that were always there. It seems the folks who crave normalcy want to cover up those cracks and go back to pretending they’re not. It’s infuriating.

State takeovers are about race and power... it is literally inconceivable that the state would consider taking over a district that is majority white.

If you think this isn't about politics, you're not paying attention. "And so if education is a political project, when we think about reforms, we need to think about them as political objectives as well." #OurCityOurSchools chalkbeat.org/2018/6/12/2110…

“The district’s school choice and assignment system does not provide equal access to high-quality schools for all students.” C’mon, Boston…it’s been a year. (It is a struggle not to be ongoingly sarcastic with how out of touch some of this is.)

So let me get this straight, all year they’ve been screaming about how they can’t trust teachers. We teach CRT! We are groomers! We are indoctrinators! But now they trust us enough with a gun to protect kids from the next mass shooter?

Despite being stuck at home all week with Covid, I'm so excited to be able to attend the #MassDemsConvention remotely to cast my vote for Sonia Chang-Díaz today!!! I'm a first time delegate who watched Sonia fight for the SOA Act to try to level the education playing field.

Watching Quentin Palfrey speak at the #massdems2022 convention and feeling pumped. His support of public education and outspoken rejection of state receivership of BPS are two major reasons I'm casting my vote for him.

When you spend your career pushing for change, it can make those in power uncomfortable. And sometimes you pay a price for that. But, friends, that’s a price I’m willing to pay — because we know the cost of inaction is so much higher.

“Brave people in key moments used the power they had to make a difference.” She is the living example of this bravery 🔥🔥🔥Sonia Chang-Díaz

Neema Avashia The Boston Globe For those keeping track that is FIVES DECADES of crises in Boston. It's weird that an article that shoulders crisis on a newly elected mayor barely seems to notice that what they are describing is not CRISIS but a historical pattern of RACISM that has been difficult to eradicate.
