This private school in Fayetteville, NC pocketed $1,879,115 in public tax dollars this school year.

They expressly ban students who practice specific religions like Islam and Buddhism, and they also deny admissions to LGBTQ+ students whom they call 'perverted.'

The biggest problem with technology and education?

Tech being used to replicate traditional ways of teaching, assessing and grading.

Instead, we need to create conditions for students to USE technology to demonstrate understandings, solve problems and shape the world.

Teachers, please DO NOT follow up ‘I know I don’t get paid enough’ with:

•‘But I love my job.’

•’But the district doesn’t have the money, times are tough!’

•’But I do it for the kids.’

You’re allowed to love your job, the kids AND be paid FAIRLY...AND the money is there.

Since I'm now using this website to pitch myself on TV shows, I would also like to play Melissa Schemmenti's mother on 'Abbott Elementary.' If you see Quinta Brunson, please tell her.

I asked Frederick Clarkson, a research analyst who has studied the confluence of politics and religion for more than three decades, why North Carolina taxpayers should object to funding private schools that teach the Seven Mountains Mandate. 😳

What the hell Alabama? Alabama out here stealing organs from dead inmates. So not only does Alabama think they own embryos, fetuses and women’s bodies. They think they own the bodies of the dead. Families be damn.

A black man came into the ER a few days ago where my friend worked. His hair was unkempt and he had a strong body odor. He was slurring his speech.

Both the paramedics plus MD's (white) said he was overdosing.

Turns out, he was in a sickle cell crisis.

I am forever grateful for my @mit experiences. I went to the @mitcoop to pick up some swag and was pleasantly surprised to see my book on display. I’ve gotten used to walking into many book stores and learning they don’t carry Unmasking AI, or if they do it is tucked away
