As @NAACP_LDF honored the legacy of the Brown v. Board of Education Decision on its 60th anniversary in 2015, issues in Gardendale, Alabama that same year shows that the fight for educational equality is far from over. #DecadeRewind #BrownvBoard
Along with the Honorable U.W. Clemon, LDF litigated the appeal to the ruling in Stout v. Jefferson, which allowed the predominantly white Gardendale to partially secede from racially diverse Jefferson County. #DecadeRewind naacpldf.org/press-release/…
“We will continue doing everything in our power to ensure that state and local governments facilitate the integration of all children.” --@SamSpital, Director of Litigation #DecadeRewind naacpldf.org/press-release/…
UPDATE: Gardendale has been ordered to pay $850K in legal fees. “[T]hese cases are reminders of the painstaking efforts that black citizens have had to undertake to gain access to public schools that were reserved by law for white citizens” google.com/amp/s/www.al.c…

As a women-led organization, we’re acutely aware of the challenges women face in the workplace, and that’s exactly why we wanted to honor Nina Shaw with the National Equal Justice Award. Her grit and passionate advocacy make her the perfect champion for women. #NEJAD2019
Nina Shaw is the co-founder of the @timesupnow Legal Defense Fund, created at a critical time to fight sexual assault in the #MeToo era and empower women in the workplace. She represents some of the most powerful women in Hollywood like @ava, @Lupita_Nyongo & @TraceeEllisRoss.
“Nina Shaw really is the example of what lawyers and what everyone can do.” --@TinaTchen #NEJAD2019 #JusticeAboveAll

HAPPENING NOW: The @EdLaborCmte is holding a hearing on this administration's proposed rule that would threaten the food security for 1 million children. Watch live! #NationalSchoolLunchWeek
@EdLaborCmte As @RepBonamici explains, by the USDA's own analysis, the proposed change would cut automatic free school lunch access for almost "1 million children." This move will greatly threaten the nutrition and education of many school children. #NationalSchoolLunchWeek
@EdLaborCmte @RepBonamici .@RepMarciaFudge: So because one person scammed the system, we're supposed to punish hungry kids...Don't punish all of these hungry children in this country or senior citizens because one person broke a rule. #NationalSchoolLunchWeek

JUST IN: New #OpEd from @Sifill_LDF sheds insight on the busing debate.

"The history of how we became a nation separated geographically by race has been conveniently forgotten. It is this history that made busing essential to [school] desegregation." slate.com/news-and-polit…
"[B]using has long been presented as an independent evil worthy of bipartisan resistance in both white and black communities represents the triumph of a false narrative packaged to excuse one of the ugliest and most destabilizing realities of American society..." -@Sifill_LDF

This boy is but one of the many victims of the Brown v. Board of Education decision.

We were NEVER supposed to live together.
Brown vs. Board was a STAGED, FAKE case.

Used a fake study & illegal backroom talks to rig outcome.

Brought by NAACP (founded/run by Moskowitzs & Spingarns)

NAACP lawyer: Jack Greenberg

US Justice Dept: Philip Elman

Supreme Court: Felix Frankfurter

What do they all share?
The goal of "Civil Rights" was all about a certain tribe creating legal framework to FORCE DIVERSITY on European Americans.

This A+ vid from Mr. Taylor exposes Brown v Board as a fraud & will bIow your mind.

Only 9 mins, HIGHLY informative.

Here's a wee thread about Gerald L.K. Smith (an apostle of "Christian Nationalism" and a key figure in the founding of the America First Party in the 1940s) inspired by the important point David makes here.
Gerald LK Smith is one of those people few contemporary Americans know about, but if you ask me, he's someone whose ideas are getting noticed more and more these days. Here's a quick bio courtesy of the Univ of Mich library where his papers are held.
Smith got his start working alongside Huey Long in the 1930s. Here's how Alan Brinkley describes Smith's relationship to "great leader" Long in his book "Voices of Protest." It might ring a few contemporary bells for you [cough] Ben Garrison [cough] Stephanie Grisham.

Thread: Follow along with us as @BetsyDeVosED testifies before House @edworkforcedems. @virginiafoxx starts off by mentioning the school shooting at Santa Fe High School, says she hopes DeVos will address it since parents are scared.
Foxx notes that the Constitution does not mention "education" once or any synonym for it.
.@virginiafoxx says many of their constituents believe: "The less from Washington, the better."

1. The #KochBrothers & the #CNP plan to privatize education, just like Chile. This analysis of the Chilean education system shows that "privatization creates or deepens inequalities between socio-eco-nomic groups and creates a strongly segregated society." globalinitiative-escr.org/wp-content/upl…
2. During the 1980s, under Pinochet, Chile saw:
* The introduction of a voucher system whereby schools are funded by the State on the basis of the number of students attending daily;
* The deregulation of school curriculum.
globalinitiative-escr.org/wp-content/upl…
3. Chile privatized its school system "in the name of efficiency and school ‘choice’. The theory was that commercializing the relationship between schools and families would thereby incentivize increased quality." Sound familiar? globalinitiative-escr.org/wp-content/upl…
