White supremacy is not just about hierarchy. It’s about HUMANITY and whether white folks see BIPOC as fully human. FULLY. We are unquestionably human but how we are treated and viewed is result of white supremacy and purpose of white supremacy. (thread)
This is why we (BIPOC) always are asserting, defending, and affirming our HUMANITY. white supremacy aims to remove our humanity, rights, liberties. Dignity.
Institutions treat us like animals. Jails. Schools. Child separation. Slavery. Agriculture. Police. Court system. It’s deeper than treated us like lesser humans. It is more akin to the treatment of animals.

One of the best learning frameworks I heard about from @Ready4rigor Zaretta Hammond. A few questions to consider (thread) Image
What level was present in your classroom today?
Do you see different students engaging at different levels? Why is that? Are you blaming the students, the curriculum, or yourself?

Antiracist parents, please be prepared to fight for your brave educators who are fighting for your children. They are teaching critical thinking, love, & democracy. White rage will try to remove them, by hook or crook. Educators will need parents to support them. Be prepared.
Let me be clear, I’m talking about our administrations current attack on ethnic studies, critical thinking, critical race theory, and anti-racism. Parents, you have to choose a side. Choose a side that supports the marginalized and voiceless. Use your privilege.
Watch the news, and see how specific educators and leaders are removed, put on leave, investigated, and accused of all sort of fraudulent charges. This is all a distraction and an attempt to discourage change.
