Just had a blast @HoCo_Library with smart, involved parents (and Zach doing a school report on book banning — love it) with ideas, questions and concerns. Plus school board candidates. People, THIS is what democracy looks like!!!
Excited for my visit tomorrow @HoCo_Library Elkridge Branch!
Watch out, @NBCNews, student reporters in grades 3-8 are sliding into video. Catch their packages eastrockrecord.org
OK, excuse these young reporters if they break the Internet. LIVE today: East Rock Record video news. One fave VO about soccer? "When recess comes around people are drawn to the field like salivating dogs to a fat, juicy steak." eastrockrecord.org/2153/opinion/s…
The numbers are real. We have seen them coming from miles/years away. Public education needs a plan.

Looking at you, Texas. Let's not allow a few extremists to decide the fate of school boards — and the future of public education. GET YOUR EARLY VOTE ON!!
Speaking up to explain what's REALLY going on with voucher schemes matters. #results. But keep listening to @NancyGarrettD12 @LindsKimery @EricWelchWCS because I have a feeling this will come around again.

For a change, I got to be on the other side of the Q+A with a group of terrific student journalists!!! ‘Our children deserve to be educated’: Q vanderbilthustler.com/?p=69499

Great listen! All about Moms For Liberty and the far-right's push for Christian Nationalism in public schools. "It's as if Moms For Liberty were the answer to a problem a lot of far-right organizations had been looking for." @annehelen @LauraPappano podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
I saw the eclipse (wow!) Amid divisions on Earth, the universe moves on with or without us. It's our job to figure out how to make our communities work. It starts with public schools. Real ideas about how to do that in my Q+A with Kate Nazemi @AFIEBucks muthamagazine.com/2024/04/school…
In my Q+A with Kate Nazemi, mom-school-supporter in Central Bucks, PA, she offers a list of what works — not just to overcome extremist rhetoric but also to draw together the community. Real wisdom.

It's not what extremists would have you think: Brass tacks convo @DialogueVU with @NancyGarrettD12 and @LindsKimery including what librarians actually have on their day-to-day to-do-list (it's not sexy). Like dealing with mountains of laptops needing repairs and updates.

Luck me: a library lunch with SUPER student journalists/editors @VandyHustler !! The state of campus journalism is strong if we measure by the questions, debates, reporting going on here. Wowed.@Vanderbilt @DialogueVU

“Fund students not systems!” Is just a poll-tested slogan that means “defund public schools.” It’s the education equivalent of “downsizing” or “corporate restructuring” for workers who are about to lose their jobs.
