SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Today called for inquiry in our school garden. Sunshine, nature and children’s natural curiosity are salve for the soul.

“Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope.”– Ursula K. Le Guin

Brilliant piece by Daniel Hunter “Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

I live in a country where book bans have been prohibited since 1849. And yet, the rise of book bans in America and the incredible impact it is having, is something I spend a lot of time thinking about, discussing, and fighting against. Why do I care when I am across an ocean?

Agreed. This book needs a place in all collections and in conversations with young people.

The resistance will mostly look like ordinary people's noncompliance, and this example is--well deep bow to the superintendents.....

Facing History & Ourselves reminds us that “people make choices & choices make history.” For proposed policies to “work” it will require the compliance of everyday Americans. Remember: we can be better than the law requires. We can stay true to our values. We can engage in creative noncompliance.

One more thing, we're going to need plans to protect our undocumented students and their families and undocumented educators ASAP. This document is a good place to start and share with colleagues. www.nea.org/sites/defaul...
