Just a little reminder…

A reminder that today is the “National Day of Silence,” where hundreds of thousands of participating LGBT students and their allies take a vow of silence for a day to protest homophobia in our society, the tolerance of homophobia by many teachers and school administrators, and to honor those we’ve lost to hatred.

Light posting…

Apologies for the light posting this week: I’ve been dealing with a family crisis and trying to advance work on a project I’ve been neglecting.

Filed under: Uncategorized,

Stories I'm working on:
  • “Community Schools” – What do you think of your neighborhood school? Would you rather send your child to a magnet instead?
  • School closings – Are you a student, a parent, or a teacher at a school that’s being closed? How are you friends and colleagues reacting? Is anyone organizing to oppose the closing?
  • Diversity/Integration/Equity – Do you feel like your child is being shut out of better schools? Are these changes keeping the best schools for the better-off?
