I always get asked the question. “How do we get more minority students to want to be educators” My response is simply “improve their experiences as students first” you’d be shocked how mind blown people are when I say that.

The NYT just released a map on gun violence post Covid based on racial demographics. I’ll post below for any curiosities.
Frustrating read, hopefully it will trigger a lot of solution based conversations.

“Learn how slaves took advantage”
Be clear, there was nothing advantageous about slavery. This gotta be the twilight zone.
Want the truth on Florida’s African American History Standards? See statement below from experts who crafted them.
“Any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resiliency during a difficult time in American history.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This list is supposedly of enslaved people who "developed ... trades from which they benefitted" but nearly all of these people were either never enslaved, or never held the jobs described on the list.
Some examples:

Here is a summary of the errors on the list:

SB 12 is an insult to librarians, teachers, and free speech.
People across the political spectrum trust school librarians and educators, but this broad bill would open them up to prosecution for having any material that a parent might disagree with.
