It's not your job to fix a toxic workplace from the bottom.
If leaders at the top aren't committed to change, the best way to stay sane is to shield yourself and support your team.
Your responsibility is to protect your well-being, your career, and the people you care about.

Teachers, this is the conversation we need to be having! All of these bills banning teaching Critical Race Theory in k-12 doesn’t mean you can’t teach about race and racism or design culturally relevant or responsive instruction. Those bills are trying to bully us into silence…

Teaching about racism is one thing.
Teaching culturally relevant content is something else.
Teaching with an anti racist lens is yet another thing.
All of that is different from teaching critical race theory.

Late last night, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick violated the Texas Constitution to bring HB 3979 back from the dead.
This blatant rule-breaking is stunning, and a frightening reminder of the danger Trump Republicans pose to our democracy.
BUT there’s a silver lining...

Yes! #HB3979 is/was/will continue to be an insult to educators, students, society.

Last thing: I’m typically conflict avoidant. I try to resolve conflicts with colleagues before we get to the floor.
But as a former teacher who taught black & brown children, I found this bill to be personally offensive.
Our teachers & our students deserve better than HB 3979.
