Long Thread, with a big announcement at the end.
Pls bear with us.

2. We believe all public dollars should go to public education, that public education must be barrier free, and redefined as unable to be selective in ANY way.

Central to ALL our work is an uncompromising dedication to equity & anti oppressive work.
Every article, every interview, every collaboration, every post & every tweet, is rooted in confronting racism, classism, ableism, homo/transphobia,misogyny, xenophobia &segregation #abed
🧵This article lays out the plan Kenney is putting into play here in #ABed. Considering #Bill15 (promotes & eases legislation around charter schools) in conjunction w this govts complete lack of leadership to reopen schools safely-can only be interpreted as market creation.
2/x Lack of leadership, planning and funding for a safe reopening of Alberta public schools is not incompetence, it’s strategic.
It’s deliberate undermining of public education. #abed#ableg
3/x “each principal would work with the parents and students at his or her particular school to develop a setup that makes sense for them.”
Imagine what that would look like & how it would differ for communities in Forest Lawn vs Elbow Park? #abed#ableg
🧵 Last week Minister @AdrianaLaGrange scolded the CBE, citing among other things their inability to put students first.
One would expect a leader in her position to lead by example: so let’s take a look back at some of her initiatives over the past year or so. #abed#ableg
1. @AdrianaLaGrange Delayed school budgets until 6 weeks into the school year (Oct 2019) creating fiscal uncertainty for school boards. Not great for students!
