Golda Barton dialed 911 on Friday, she hoped emergency responders could help...
hospitalize her 13-year-old son, who has Asperger syndrome and was having a mental crisis. Instead, a police officer repeatedly shot Linden after he ran away, leaving the boy in serious condition with injuries to his intestines, bladder, shoulder and ankles...
Barton says he was unarmed, and police said they didn’t find a weapon at the scene. washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09…
#DefundThePolice movement could have resulted in mental health professionals skilled in dealing with people in crisis responding, without guns. But with sufficient skills and tools to safely aid in the hospitalization this mother was seeking.

Everyone can think of something bad to say about virtual school. But I asked a group of 10k Black parents what did they like about it.
Overwhelmingly, Black parents said our kids can learn at their own pace, less stressed, kids aren't getting in trouble...
more parent interaction with teachers, can address microagressions children face head on, no bullying, hug breaks with your children.
Some parents even said they hope this can continue to be an option.
Virtual school has its cons, but also its pros.
here's one of my favorite quotes "My child can learn standing, or sitting on the floor, and won't get in trouble"
It reminded me of when I'm getting tired in a lecture, I often stand, it helps me pay attention. But traditional school often punishes these behaviors.

A thread on U.S. #camps and #schools that experienced #COVID19 outbreaks since opening.
I'll continually add to this thread as more are reported.

A 9 year old died from #Covid_19 yesterday in Florida. A 5 year old died from Covid-19 in Dallas today. A major component in the low death rate we saw in children had to do with our policy to limit children exposure, by closing schools.
As we open camps and schools, we will continually see our children die.
This tweet is not a scare tactic, it's showing you how public health works. We put in measures to protect children. The crude data only told part of the story- children aren't dying from covid.
The crude data didn't show you that this association was confounded by a intervention (school closures). It's not your job to understand confounding. We should have done a better job telling you about this.
I'm telling you now.
