We asked families of disabled children and youth about #BackToSchool in #bced, in light of the #Omicron variant. They want overwhelmingly for their children to not be left out and excluded from their education. 1/?
Families need information, choice, flexibility, and protection for their children. Many families of the most medically vulnerable students want a delayed start date, booster vaccinations for staff and these parents, 2nd shots for medically vulnerable 5-11 year olds, 2/?
Parents of disabled kids want expedited work on ventilation in #bced and transparency about this status in schools, as well as about exposures - a return to swift notifications. 3/?

Anyone else struck by a curious gap in the report out today from @Mitch_Inst on "Educational opportunity in
Australia 2020 Who succeeds and who misses out"? vu.edu.au/sites/default/…
It takes the goals for "all" young Australians in the Mparntwe Declaration as a basis for a framework to understand how well the education system is operating, and identify those for whom the system is not supporting
The Mparntwe Declaration has this to say on educational disadvantage: Learners experiencing disadvantage
are more likely than their peers
to start school developmentally
vulnerable and less likely to have
attended early education in the year
before school.

THREAD.

As #BlackHistoryMonth ends and the #SouthCarolinaPrimary begins, let's revisit the story of Medicare & how it tangibly advanced racial equity in the 1960s.

The story shows the power of movement-aligned politics to effect social & system change.
Before Medicare, hospitals were deeply segregated due to Jim Crow. Many outright refused care to Black people. If care was provided, it was heavily segregated with separate entrances, waiting rooms, wards, even separate china & silverware. Separate, and certainly not equal.
Care was triaged by skin tone, not severity of condition. If you were Black with a serious illness, you would be lucky to find a hospital or clinic that allowed you to wait until all the White patients had been seen before you would receive medical attention.

About to join @JacksonLeeTX18 @SSWorks + more to talk about why #MedicareForAll is necessary in the fight for racial justice. Tune in!

@JacksonLeeTX18 @SSWorks The burden of our health care crisis is one felt disproportionately by communities of color & poor communities, which struggle to access quality, affordable health care the most. 59 percent of uninsured Americans are people of color. #MedicareForAll
@JacksonLeeTX18 @SSWorks The uninsured rate for Latinos is the highest in the country. And black mothers die at a rate that is three times that of white mothers in childbirth. But #M4A would change this picture. #MedicareforAll is a racial justice bill. #AllMeansAll
