#SupremeCourtDecision is sideways & upside down. Forcing kids to jump over larger, whiter obstacles to achieve equity, forcing kids to prove they're "as entitled as" rather than equal under the law. #TBATs #AffirmativeAction @WaBATs_ @CaliBats @AZBatsA @OklahomaBATs @TxBats

Book Bans are un-American. We need to protect our Libraries from politically motivated attacks. See what Librarians are up against here: publishersweekly.com/pw/by-t… #TBATs @NVBats @WaBATs_ @AlaskaBATs @hawaiibats @CaliBats @ColoradoBATsA @UtahBATs @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs

With so many out there flaunting their bigotry, more than ever we must support our LGBTQ youth. Let them know they have the right to speak up. #PrideMonth #TBATs @CaliBats @ColoradoBATsA @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs @NVBats @AlaskaBATs @UtahBATs @hawaiibats @WaBATs_ @IdahoBATs

We owe it to our students & to the future of our country, to teach full, accurate & truthful history. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. axios.com/2023/05/03/history… #TBATs @WaBATs_ @CaliBats @ColoradoBATsA @AZBatsA @hawaiibats @OklahomaBATs @NVBats

It's no surprise that schools that have the fewest resources have the lowest scores. Instead of punishing them, we should be providing them with better resources. #TBATs #LessTestingMoreTeaching @MissouriBATs @piper4missouri @ArkansasBATsA @FLBATsA @GeorgiaBATs2 @IndianaBATs

Common Core isn't gone, it's just been renamed in state after state. Standardized Tests are still required & they're all based on Common Core standards. Time to dump the tests. #TeachNotTest #TBATs @ColoradoBATsA @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs @UtahBATs @NVBats @WaBATs_ @CaliBats

Bill Gates says A.I. chatbots will teach kids how to read within 18 months: cnbc.com/2023/04/22/bill-gat… #TBATs @CaliBats @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs @UtahBATs @ColoradoBATsA @NVBats @AlaskaBATs @hawaiibats @WaBATs_ Real kids need Real teachers.

Bill Gates is not an educator. He's a computer geek. Just because that's his comfort zone, that doesn't mean we have to give our children over to cyber control. #TBATs cnbc.com/2023/04/22/bill-gat…

Instead of focusing on School Choice or Test Scores, it's time to do the HARD WORK of addressing POVERTY. #TBATs @CaliBats @ColoradoBATsA @UtahBATs @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs @WaBATs_ @hawaiibats @NVBats Support Public Schools

Charters are education flavored businesses. They can close up shop & move on whenever they want, leaving families in the lurch. #TBATs #AnotherDayAnotherCharterScandal @CaliBats @WaBATs_ @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs @UtahBATs @NVBats @ColoradoBATsA @AlaskaBATs @hawaiibats

We shouldn't have to fight for the right to defend children from gun violence. But that's where we are. #TennesseeThree #TBATs @CaliBats @WaBATs_ @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs @NVBats @ColoradoBATsA @UtahBATs @hawaiibats We need common sense gun laws now. #ItsTheGuns
