Anyone who feels that ANLE's "no se dice" rhetoric has no place in a Spanish classroom: come to the free event on May 5th, 2:00 pm PST/4:00 pm CST/5:00 EST. A bunch of us plan to ask hard questions and make known that we find their pedagogy unacceptable. duallanguageschools.org/.../…

My Lai Massacre (Vietnam, 1968) and murders of six Asian women in Atlanta both occurred on March 16th.

#WestOfBrooklyn feel-good drama combining working class NY Italian-American comedy with a reminder to follow higherbrow inclinations if you have 'em. Stellar acting all around in addition to impressive poetic chops from Marmo who should be creating whatever the hell he wants.

#WestOfBrooklyn nothing says true acceptance like "HEY WHAT ARE YOU FREAKIN RETARTED?!"

#WestOfBrooklyn not for nothin I totally saw it coming that she'd be preggo

#WestOfBrooklyn No Sebi stay away from Grace!

#WestOfBrooklyn "Yeah I use lotion."

#WestOfBrooklyn WHERE DID HE GET BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES IN L.A.??

Watching #WestOfBrooklyn tons of great one-liners. "He eats like he's got three assholes"

Latino Policy Forum presentation: When you look at the academic achievement of kids who *began* school as English learners, you have to examine how they do after they *exited* the program. Previous reports only focused on kids still receiving services.

"10 Spanish Words You’ve Been Saying Wrong" contributes to linguistic insecurity and bullying by Spanish teachers. U.S. Spanish is a valid variety!

#perolike: If thousands of people use a word, IT EXISTS. To insist otherwise is prescriptive, elitist nonsense. There are formal and informal ways of speaking, but to deny a word's existence (or use in a certain way) is linguistic ignorance.

Something I'm reflecting on today: Good ideas can do bad things when manipulated arrogantly; you can end up reproducing the very same damage you claim to be combatting.
