KEEP OUR STUDENTS SAFE.

All of our children are affected by this. Students are losing friends, lunch buddies or caretakers, bus drivers and more. Kids are experiencing trauma everyday not knowing what will happen to them or the people they've grown to love and respect.

From NEA.Org “Immigration enforcement schools- the importance of safe zone policies.” I have done very limited research on the potential policy changes, I do not want any teacher getting in trouble-fired, arrested, or harmed. I have found this resource and my lawyer friends have confirmed that this is accurate info. There are SMART ways to advocate and protest- landing your butt in jail so many times that you get in debt from legal fees is not an effective or sustainable form of protest- I’ve seen too many friends be smushed by that tactic. Know the laws, know students rights, know your rights, stand and speak with confidence. No student is illegal in this house. We will fight, we will rally, and we will show every child we stand in front of 👉 there is GOOD in humanity. Riot on and share this. #teachershare #teachersofinstagram #teach #teachersfollowteachers #teachers #teachershelpingteachers #principalsofinstagram

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾In Florida, a group of dedicated students has taken it upon themselves to delve into aspects of Black history that they feel are inadequately covered or sometimes entirely omitted from their school’s curriculum. These students are dedicating their Saturdays, a day traditionally reserved for rest or extracurricular activities, to attend supplementary educational sessions. This initiative comes in the context of ongoing debates about educational content, particularly concerning race and history, where some argue that state educational standards or recent legislative changes might be limiting the scope of what is taught about Black history. These students, supported by local educators, community leaders, or organizations, are seeking to fill these perceived educational gaps. The sessions might cover a wide array of topics, from the contributions of Black figures in American history to the exploration of significant events like the Civil Rights Movement, the impact of systemic racism, and the cultural contributions of African Americans. This effort not only reflects a hunger for knowledge among the youth but also a proactive approach to self-education and community engagement. This movement highlights a broader national conversation about the inclusivity of history education and the right of students to learn a comprehensive narrative of their country’s past, including the struggles, achievements, and cultural richness of Black Americans. It also underscores the role of community-driven education in complementing formal schooling, especially when there’s a perceived deficiency or censorship in curriculum content.

"The roots of Title IX go back to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin—but made no mention of discrimination based on s*x. Women were included in the Civil Rights Act only in Title VII, an amendment that addressed equal employment opportunity but did not apply to educational institutions, among other areas.

By the early 1970s, girls and women continued to face discrimination and unequal treatment in many areas of education. Female students were often barred from certain male-only courses or fields of study, including everything from wood shop and calculus to criminal justice, law and medicine. Some U.S. colleges and universities refused to allow women to attend, or established quotas that limited the number of female students regardless of how qualified they were compared to male applicants. Others denied tenure to female professors, or refused to hire them at all."
