Well, readers once again my Facebook post is under review for possibly violating Facebook Community Standards. What is it that cause this...Perhaps it's because I am saying No More to public education reform policies that are harming our children, their teachers, public schools and communities. Or maybe I did use the word 'Guns," it was in the context of "No More Guns".
Well, who knows, here is post:
I walked, 400 miles in 2010,
We marched in 2011 with SOS,
We march with BATS multiple times in DC, and
In 2013 and 2014 United Opt Out occupied the United State Department of Education twice.
I walked in 2015,
Rev Barber, Bishop Selders, Barbara Madeloni, SOS, BATS, and UOO Marched on the Lincoln Memorial in 2015 as well.
In 2016 the women marched.
IN 2017, 18, AND 19, teachers walked out in states on the East Coast, West Cost, in the middle, North and South in America,
Isn't it time we all march out!
To my Rank and File sisters and brothers, I have this burning question in between our union business of the day.
AFT and BATs study showed how stress teachers are.
How is it our teacher unions are not organizing a march on Betsey DeVos's United States Department of shame?
Why are our rank and file leaders not organizing marches and occupations of the United States Department of Education?
Why are we not occupying this Secretary of Education, whose says she won't protect all children, but she is fine with money for guns for teachers YEAH?
Come this fall even if I am the only Rank And File Member,
I am walking into that United States Department of Education, Laying this body down in the doorway.
Saying no more:
School choice without equity,
No more high-stakes testing,
No more Charter school scams,
No more Wall Street privatization scams,
No more can't fund wrap around services,
No more closing schools in communities of color,
No more can't fund art, music, librarians, counselors, social workers,
No more, we can't fund real reading specialists and Special Education teachers,
No more we can't give our children, their teachers and schools the resources they need.
No more teachers with guns.
I know who I am,
I know where I stand,
I am not tired,
I am not beaten,
I am leaving,
I am staying,
I am a teacher who knows exactly where I stand.
I stand with our public school children whose voices have been silence,
I stand with parents of color, who are not asking for more, Only asking for the same resources America has always given the rich White kids get in their public schools.
I stand with our older and younger teachers who are being humiliated and push out of our profession.,
not because they can't teach,
But because they can't be quiet.
Who Am I?
I am Jesse The Walking Man Turner, re-framing myself.
Form now on I call me the NO MORE MAN,
A No More Man, ready to occupy that house of shame 'The United States Department of Education.
Come this fall expect, this No More Man to show up at Betsey's House of Shame,
Looking for 12, "No More" Activists,
But, I can go it alone.
If need be, because,
I am The No More Man!
Respectfully,
Dr. Jesse. P. Turner
CSU-AAUP Connecticut State Due Justice Liaison
If you want to listen to the song that inspired my walk today...its Public Enemy Fight the Power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PaoLy7PHwk
Because a person like you is Mr. Roboto's (MZ) worst nightmare......that's why you get censored. You have the ability to rile up the masses and distract them from the monotony of Facebook.....that's why you get censored.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of hiding inside the shell of the status quo to gain my freedom. I think you are on to something with Facebook being afraid that we are all Kilroys hiding inside their Robot shells. Now, people if you want to better understand here is the link to Styx's Mr. Roboto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc6f_2nPSX8
