I love my black job 🖤
Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job.

Taking your child outside to play in the fresh air is a great way to allow them to let off steam, as well as being good for their health. For more fun ideas of things to do outside visit - nidirect.gov.uk/articles/pla… #PlayMatters #nischools #HelpingHand

School as we know it is a system intentionally structured to create hierarchies among minor children before they reach adulthood. If you benefited from this system of oppression, you have an obligation to push back & try to dismantle your privilege.

Giving kids the freedom to take responsibility for their own learning is actually a great preparation for college. Is it a guarantee? No. But neither is school.

This is exactly what Senator Cruz said about children being taken from their parents: “When you see reporters, when you see Democrats saying don’t separate kids from their parents, what they’re really saying is don’t arrest illegal aliens.” #TeamBeto #TexasDebate
