Teach Proud, Teach Loud, Teach Truth

I have been thinking about how to react to this President-Elect, and his plans to end DIE. There is a line in the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down "I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Kane backup when he's in defeat"
The way I see Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity is our President-Elect and his appointments need to ask themselves these simple questions:
1. Do you understand that Diversity isn't an idea? It simply is who America is? You can't kill what is.
2. What do you have against inclusion, or who are the people you want to exclude?
3. What about the word Equity stirs up negativity in your thinking? Can you tell which people you think don't deserve equity?

Now, I can't do much, but I can:
Teach Proud,
Teach Loud,
Teach Truth.

So, I dug up this Brainwaves Video Anthology clip about the Uniting to Save Our Schools Teach Truth Campaign. We did not change the world but drew a line in the sand that said truth matters.

Come May 2025, I shall once again participate in Teach The Truth Day.
I am a teacher,
I don't have time to be depressed,
I am too busy teaching the truth.

Blessed by teachers who taught the truth,
Dr. Jesse P. Turner
Uniting to Save Our Schools
Proud Badass Teacher  

If you want to listen to the song that inspired my morning walk this day...its Rachel Platten's "Fight Song"
