"We need to ensure that all students (and their family) feel comfortable in their classroom. That starts with normalizing so many conversations and holding those who disrespect others accountable." - LAUSD Alum #FuturizeLAUSD

These bills serve to promote the status quo. As LGBTQ+ youth, we threaten the status quo by challenging social structures and worldviews. They wouldn't be working so hard to erase us if they didn't recognize our power in changing the world as we know it. #SayGayAnyway
Students like @proudtwinkie and @jack_petocz have been organizing rallies and walkouts to show our leaders that LGBTQ+ youth will NOT be silenced or erased. We will #SayGayAnyway

“Credit recovery doesn't prepare students for mastery of content, much less for life. Why are we pacifying failures and passing students through a failing system?”🔑 Our #WCW Kennedi of @SFERNC asking Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools the tough questions. #WednesdayWisdom

Maurice asks why are so few students at my school (HUHS) college ready? One reason - inequitable resources. Didn't get a Spanish teacher this year until Feb! (in class since Aug.). Must be ready to be tested in May. How can Ss succeed? #cltmeckyouth
