1/ For 10 mos I& #39;ve been advocating for safe schools during. One thing I& #39;ve learned doing this work is that many, many people have a baseline assumption that teachers are just not that smart. Even thoughtful, woke, progressive-types are guilty of this surprisingly oftenhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">

2/ So many people have asked me "who& #39;s behind" my advocacy & questioned "who my source is." There is no source, y& #39;all. I& #39;m 1 civics teacher w a Twitter account. I read stuff & try to learn from ppl who know more about this. I try to share what I learn & get others to speak out.

3/ So here are some receipts. No one told me what to say in any meetings. I actually wrote all this myself using my girl brain if y& #39;all can believe it!

4/ None of this thread is about any 1 person. It& #39;s a reaction to constantly feeling that I have to convince others of my intelligence, to being told that I& #39;m not important enough or credentialed enough or whatever enough to even have a voice in the discussion.
