As we've said before: we teach young people, NOT books. If you're more concerned about the books you teach and not meeting the needs of the young people before you, you're off. The books are tools. Ask: what is the best tool I can use to meet the need they have? #DisrupTexts

While there are politicians attempting to prevent teachers from telling the truth about this country, one thing I’m certain of is that there are so many teachers out there who will redouble their efforts to help their students understand this history & we’ll all be better for it.
