Also disturbing, "NCES reported a promising trend of more black and Latino teens & young adults understanding the need for a high school diploma, GED or some other form of educational certificate"

They actually think the problem is we don't understand the importance of education
The problem is the systems that fail our children & families.

Not who does & doesn't understand the value of education.

This statement is a form of what @DrIbram calls Behavioral Racism.
@DrIbram In his latest book @DrIbram also points out that the #achievementgap framing is a racist framing. It supposes that the issue is with the students &not the test. This has been used ever since the advent of the IQ test to justify a racial hierarchy.
A hierarchy built in part on the idea that disparities in academic achievement accurately reflect disparities in intellect, instead of looking at the structural failures our system of racist policies has created.
I summarize @DrIbram's position on educational disparities as such:

We need to standardize opportunity, not tests.
I've reiterated these points at the Governor's Early Learning Council meetings

In @MinnPost - minnpost.com/community-voic…

On @MPR - mprnews.org/episode/2020/0…

Happy to discuss it further with the members of the @StribOpinion Editorial Board as well.

This is a devastating loss to all of our MN communities 😔

Dr. Charles Crutchfield III was ever present & a force within not only dermatology but organized medicine, among Black physicians in MN in particular.

#RestInPeace

How many dermatology clinics signed up to do #COVID19 shots?! Dr. C's did because he knew how important it was to get shots from a provider you trust.

He inspired @MNAADocs to begin a weekly column in @MNSpokesman sharing health education information🙌🏾

spokesman-recorder.com/2022/01/27/ple…
Dr. C was always down to help me in any way he could whenever asked. Whether a curbside consult or questions about my own families skin, he always got back & would follow up to see how things turned out if I didn't tell him.

Hey @AmerAcadPeds & @Vot_ER_org look at who I found @aspenideas #AspenIdeasHealth🙌🏾

#AHealthierDemocracy #VoteKids

"Interesting" start to this panel of HHS secretaries @aspenideas #AspenIdeasHealth

@SecBecerra when asked what he wishes folks knew about HHS replied, "we don't control health care"

@Sebelius agreed... 🤔

Today’s MN #COVIDVaccine announcement is disappointing & largely fails to move the needle on equity.

I think understanding why & how it could likely worsen inequity requires a recap.

On 1/14 MN opened up vaccination to 65+ w/no subprioritization. What have we learned since?
🧵
1️⃣ There was no federal stockpile (as the previous WH administration HHS had eluded) to support this decision.

So now ~1 million Minnesotans believed they were at the front of the line but MN was getting ~60,000 new doses/week & still had not completed everyone in phase 1A
2️⃣ A new administration came in with equity as a priority & recommended expanding eligibility even more... but no new guidance around subprioritization for any groups incl those 65+

& still not enough shots to meet demand = scarce resource allocation

I have enrolled in a #COVIDvaccine trial & last week got my first shot!!

But this wasn’t always my plan. I had a surprising amount of hesitancy early on. So I want to share how I worked through it.

This will probably be my longest thread ever. But stick w/me! (1/)
An avid advocate that #vaccinessavelives I found myself personally & professionally skeptical about the speed with which vaccines were being developed & politicized.

So I read about #COVIDvaccine development & listened to @NEJM’s podcast weekly podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new… (2/)
I also found this @nytimes #COVID19 vaccine tracker helpful

“When we fight to change children’s circumstances, THAT is when we keep children healthy. THAT is Socially-Responsive Pediatrics”

@DrOmolara opening up the final #AAP2020 plenary with powerful perspective
.@DrOmolara breaks down common frameworks:

Cultural competency doesn’t deliver justice

Structural competency doesn’t dismantle structural inequity

We need to move to Social responsiveness to deliver justice & dismantle structures of oppression

YES🙌🏾🙌🏾
#AAP2020
.@DrOmolara’s approach: bring care to the communities instead of working to fit communities into care settings w/historical trauma

Her practice has been setup next to community based organizations. In collaboration, no hierarchy
