1/ To give you an idea of what we’re up against in regards to the repulsive behavior of some parents in Rockwood School District, watch these videos. We’re up against some incredibly hateful rhetoric. I appreciate everyone bringing attention to it. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeX6orJx/  https://twitter.com/getnicced/status/1387566223542702084
3/ I read “Dear Martin”, written by @getnicced with my 15 year old. It was an excellent book. I originally read it to read alongside my son, so we could have a discussion about it. I wasn’t prepared for how much I got out of it. I learned more than I can express here on Twitter.
4/ The discussion with my son that followed this book was amazing. It opened his eyes as much as it did mine. This book forced us both to look at racism in a way that we previously haven’t. I’m hopeful that more people will pick up “Dear Martin.” There is a lot to learn.
