If you believe there are unearned disadvantages, then you also have to accept there are unearned advantages. That means there are people sitting in seats they didn’t earn, while others who did earn them were never given the opportunity. The real question isn’t whether equity matters. The real question is how committed you are to it. Watch the full conversation at the link in bio, then ask yourself: What would real equity actually require?

If we already know what works, why aren’t we doing more of it? The best public schools in Connecticut aren’t an accident. They’re proof that when families have real choices, students win. I’ve spent my career fighting for educational opportunities that change children’s lives, and the evidence couldn’t be clearer. The question is: Why aren’t we expanding what we already know works? 🎙️ Watch the full conversation at the link in bio, and share it with someone who cares about the future of education.

Connecticut removing resources from schools that are aimed at providing an equal education for black and minority students... they did it in 1860 and they're doing the same thing now by denying the funding for Capital Prep after it was the approved as the number 1 charter school application in 2023. #education #blackhistory #connecticut #blackparents #middletownct

Watching the SUNY Committee on Charter Schools meeting and Cap Prep Harlem is up. A long time ago when Dr. Steve Perry was considering opening his first school in CT, I met with him regularly. During that time, my dad’s illness landed him in the hospital and I had to go to Nevada to be with my family. Walking the hallways of the hospital on my first day, my phone rang and it was Dr. Perry. I immediately answered, worried there was a problem with the application. He said, “No. I’m not calling about work. I want to make sure you’re okay.” He called every day without fail until I got back home. He never talked about work. Happy for him and his team! @DrStevePerry

We are committed to preparing our students for college and life, regardless of their background or circumstances. While some believe we can handpick our students, the reality is that we cannot. Our model is designed to provide the best possible education for all of our students. In fact, some of them even graduate high school with an associate's degree. #educationmatters #school #blackexcellence #blackparents

While CT allows charter schools to operate, state law leaves funding vulnerable to political intervention, even after schools are approved. @DrStevePerry’s Capital Prep (@CPREP4Lifeof) Middletown finds its own operation a casualty in one such battle, writes @JeanneAllen in @Forbes ⬇️ forbes.com/sites/yassprize/2…

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

We've seen this ICE or Auxiliary Police 1933. The Nazis deputized members of the SA (Brownshirts) and SS as auxiliary police (Hilfspolizei), allowing them to terrorize citizens and legally sanction violence against opponents.

In the absence of successful domestic policies, you start wars.

Trump is telling the protesters in Iran to continue to protest and he's going to send the military. He's telling the MN protesters that they're insurrectionists and he's going to deploy the military against them. He deposed a dictator as he's becoming one.

Happiest of birthdays to The Oracle 🔥 We love and adore you @HowardLFuller !!! @ChooseSchools @civilwright1 @DrStevePerry

Who in the hell is calling the plays for @OleMissFB ?!!!

RT @dijoni: He witness Lynching along with his father.

Cmon @JetBlue. We're still flying airplanes w/o outlets?

The U.S. is in an education arms race that we have lost bc we see education as a public employment strategy. What American public schools do well is guarantee jobs. The teacher talent shortage is beyond a crisis that threatens every aspect of America's future.

The low IQ racist are at it again. - America

Let's be CLEAR, no adult man socializing with underaged girls is a "gentleman." If @realDonaldTrump was anywhere that grown ass men were even suspected of engaging in any sexual acts of any type with little girls, he, is at best, disgusting and at worst a predator.

Congratulations @TheDemocrats you have become your mascot.

Anyone who has ever blamed those who have doubted them has only themselves to blame.
