American Gun lover, I am going to spend today mourning the fact that Sandy Hook wasn't enough, that Charleston wasn't, that Colorado Springs wasn't, that OrlandoĀ wasn't, that Parkland wasn't enough to move you. No amount of death ever will be. #Maine johnpavlovitz.com/2015/12/03…

Guns do not belong in parks! Guns do not belong in our schools? @GovBillLee do you really want our children to be hiding under desks in schools? We deserve better!

Thank you @johnpavlovitz for these important reminders!!
Fight like hell to keep your heart soft, even while so many people have become hardened. Yes, the world is upside-down right now but we can make it right together—one beautiful act of decency at a time. johnpavlovitz.com/2018/07/21…

Loved being at church with you @TunettePowell
Church. In states like Texas, they don’t want us to talk about diversity, equity and inclusion, but church is promoted. So we had church! #DEI #Texas #earlychildhood #education #learningandleadingwithequity #church

This is unacceptable! This book promotes the use of developmentally and individually appropriate educational practices for each and every young child! What’s wrong with these people?
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey replaced her early childhood education director over a teacher training book the Republican denounced as promoting ā€œwoke conceptsā€ because of language about inclusion and battling racism. apnews.com/article/alabama-e…

This is how governors respond to a crisis in their state - speaking from the heart within an hour of a mass shooting. Not in a recorded speech the next day. @GovBillLee you could learn a lot from @AndyBeshearKY

Replying to @NBCNews
"I have a very close friend that didn't make it today," Kentucky Gov. Beshear says after 5 people were killed in a shooting at a Louisville bank. "And I have another close friend who didn't either, and one who's at the hospital that I hope is going to make it through."

I have no words😢
When you get off the plane with the legendary Joan Baez you know it’s a movement of the spirit. She stands with us in our struggle in Tennessee and said she’s hopeful to see young voices leading. ā€œWE SHALL OVERCOMEā€¦ā€ Serendipitous, indeed.

Listen to the kids @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee
Many protestors are gone — but this young man, whose father was a pastor at COVENANT, remains. He wants Tennessee legislators to act on common sense gun laws.

Thank you @GinnyVitiello I mean, if it prevents another school shooting, is it ever too early?
If it’s ā€œtoo earlyā€ to talk about action based on the Tennessee mass shooting, let’s talk about the mass shootings that happened last month or the month before! Can’t be too early for all of them.

In the 2nd blog of @ED_Sped_Rehab Discipline and Behavior series, Director Williams reflects on OSEP’s priorities. The @CenterOnPBIS & @PyramidModel share preventative models for addressing the behavior of young & school-aged children with disabilities.āœļøow.ly/GVzn50MGZRX
