Isaac Asimov once said, 'Self-education is the only kind of education.' As teachers, our mission is to facilitate this process. Let's empower our students to become lifelong learners. 📚💪
(UPDATE: I tagged the heck out of this, but your boost is still appreciated.)
You've probably already heard of the many ways that #Florida's government is creating some scary times, aggressively censoring many resources our K-12 students have access to, including significant and vital African American history, education and coursework.
Teachers in my hometown are fighting back. The Freedom School in St. Pete will be offering grade 9-12 students free African American History classes — starting with the history of Africa and the Middle Passage all the way to contemporary studies and a critical lens on America's wealth, power, and global position. This material is no longer (in cases, never was) included in FLDOE curricula.
Please, if you're able to make a donation to SP Freedom School, consider doing so now. Also, you should check out their site. Below I'm going to link the Tampa Bay Times article covering their story too.
