Many were surprised when I expressed skepticism about the value of anti-bias training. I do believe racial bias is real and pervasive. I don't believe you can be trained out of it unless you are open to unlearning it. To me, addressing structural inequities is far more important.

This is an example of structural racism. Anti-bias training won't fix this. – at Albuquerque, NM

This morning, I took my official oath of office and signed the certificate of election at the Riverside County Registar of Voters. I am grateful to the voters for electing me and will serve with honor and humility along side dedicated educators to raise student achievement.

2 School Counselors attended the UCAN College Fair 2day for @RUSDLink = 100 acceptances & $1.5 million in scholarships! We prepped them, helped with applications, and most importantly encouraged them to take a chance and go that college rep table! @BetterMakeRoom #SCpower

When we see black people as problems, we almost guarantee that no one will want to invest in them. Investments go to people who fix problems. Education is littered with white saviors fixing black children for this reason. Black people don't develop as a result. #UrbanTechBoom

True learning cannot exist outside of the culture of the learner. If you do not value the culture, you cannot teach the children #HipHopEd

Dear teacher, the student tapping on the table w/ their pencil is creating a rhythm to connect to the ancestors & transport away from an oppressive classroom #HipHopEd
