Me beloved friend and mentor, Prof. Sheila Colla, has passed away. She has a husband and two young children who are very much in need of support in this time, and after 20 long months of her illness and treatment. If you can help in any way please do. gofund.me/683fdea4

There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors. In the end, we, the American people-not any of our institutions-have to save our democracy by registering and voting in defense of our freedoms the next two months. We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.

I’ve been pretty silent about politics thus far but I’ll tell you this. Having a teacher as Vice President is a beautiful thing. Having a family of educators in the White House is even more beautiful. Tim Walz and his wife are teachers. There is a certain type of thoughtfulness, capacity to see beyond and humanity that educators have. To teach or to have ever taught changes you in the most magical ways. You need people with that outlook in power and in proximity to it.

.@UKYpres Eli Capilouto with a 21st Century warning to #Kentucky legislators opposing diversity, equity and inclusion. "The truth is that our world and our state are changing. We are growing more diverse. Indeed, we must, if our state is to grow economically." #kyga24

I believe diversity is an asset, not a liability. Everybody deserves to feel welcome in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

✨When asked by @FLOTUS what she championed for, our 2023 Kentucky Teacher of the Year @MandyPerez3 said: “As a rural educator, I champion for teachers to include diverse texts in their curriculum b/c every child deserves to be seen, valued, heard & loved … even if they’re the only student in the class that may be different.” #KTOY #NTOY23
