Dropping masks & other mitigation efforts now is like stopping your 10 day course of antibiotics after the 3rd day because your fever is gone.

When I was a high school English teacher, I was constantly blown away by how willing and how eager my students were to grapple with the difficult topics and questions that arose from books we read. Young people are capable of far more than many adults often give them credit for.

Tulsa is a glaring historical example of police violence, mob rule, theft of Black land, and the destruction of Black wealth. rethinkingschools.org/articles/tulsa…

now that I’m fully vaccinated, I just want you to know that I still won’t be able to make that thing because I don’t want to come.

1/ I’m currently in a covid unit near a college town. What I’ve seen since arriving must be shown to all younger people who think they’re invincible The median age of my 13 patients is ~ 40. The sickest is a mid-30s patient, about to get a tracheostomy with Guillain-Barre

High-stakes tests have never been valid or reliable measures of what students know and are able to do, and they are especially unreliable this year. #CancelTheTests

Imagine making it a crime to offer water to people waiting in line to vote.

The 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people. Let me repeat that, because it is almost too absurd to believe: the 50 wealthiest people in this country own more wealth than some 165 MILLION Americans. That is a moral obscenity.

Being “colorblind” is not the solution to racism. See people fully. Love people deeply.

A child dies from malaria every two minutes. This is a preventable, treatable disease that we must end once and for all.

As we await vaccines, we must reduce transmission to save a portion of the 4K lives lost daily. At a minimum, vaccinate teachers and other staff at risk for dying before you expect them to return to in-person learning to earn a paycheck. Why is this even a debate?

4K dead again today. 1. Open schools once teachers/staff are vaccinated. 2. Close indoor dining. 45 states aren’t doing this 3. No travel. 4. Mobilize the 4 branches of the US military now re: vaccination 5. Train the trainer and create more vaccinators.
