I’ve got lots of thoughts on the NHJ piece - working on how best to share them - but of all the responses I’ve read thus far, this might be the best.
Just nailed it: accountability, quality, and centering who deserves to be focused on here - Najya.
The first honest audit of Najya Hannah-Jones's schooling was done by a seventh grader with a phone. My response to Nikole's brave new essay, and why we've been measuring the wrong thing in Black.

A viral article by Nikole Hannah-Jones has social media piling on, looking for someone to blame. @selmekki makes it clear that the system is what needs to be addressed.

A six-month internship gave Leading Edge Fellow Jose Rivas's students the opportunity to gain real-world experience and confidence in their abilities.
"I knew what my students were capable of doing. They just needed a chance to believe it themselves."

This is their heritage. Racism is their foundation.
On this day in 1958, after violent resistance to integrating Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, white residents voted to close local public schools rather than comply with federal desegregation orders.

Republicans in Congress get government paid healthcare, sick leave, and other benefits that they vote against for others.
BREAKING: Keisha Lance Bottoms sent her kid to a private school that costs $37,950 a year.
Now she fights against school choice for others.
She's the Democrat candidate for Georgia Governor.
An important conversation on integration, privilege, school choice, and the struggles Black families face within our education system. @citizenstewart @selmekki @Teacherishx @ccoleiii @Mr_Ankrum #FreedomFriday youtube.com/watch?v=rD85wOW_…

Coming shortly (9/8) is a trailblazing book by New York Times reporter Natasha Singer (@natashanyt) titled "Coding Kids: Big Tech's Battle to Remake Public Schools".
It is a devastating documentation of how commercial interests have taken over elementary and secondary school classes. Commercializing education obstructs civic educational skills and experience for tens of millions of American children.
When they grow up without any civic education and experience they will be vulnerable to the rhetoric of corrupt politicians, such as the kind coming daily from Donald J. Trump. -R
