florida high school class president zander moricz was told by his school that they would cut his microphone if he said “gay” in his grad speech, so he replaced gay with “having curly hair.” i am in awe

I am the youngest public plaintiff in the “Don’t Say Gay” lawsuit. I am my Florida high school’s first openly-gay Class President. I am being silenced, and I need your help. 🧵

For the Japanese American community, today is a solemn day. It's the Day of Remembrance, the anniversary of FDR's Executive Order 9066, which ordered the internment of 120,000 persons of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were citizens of the United States.

Twelve days until Dr. @TchKimPossible’s book is released! 📚❤️Preorder now! ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾✊🏼
For educators, student voice and feedback are pivotal in creating an environment of mutual respect. This should be the same between administration and teachers. If teachers are disengaged in PD, is it because they had no say in planning it? Time to reflect on our practices.

One of my favorite parts of leadership is working closely with new and novice teachers. And here’s the thing: I go to them. We have to meet with them in their rooms, on the playground, walking out the door, etc.
Don’t make new teachers come to you.

There is going to be some pretty excited 5th graders tomorrow because I had way too much fun at the book store this weekend! My classroom might look like a book store sooner than later😉
