I'm on our local school board!

[Fluke a Snooker]

I have been appointed to our local school board, where we assist teachers and other educators in our district (two middle schools, one high school) determine their curriculum. This is a great moment, as we get to go over the book lists and start replacing outdated books and help our teachers with their lesson plans. My main focus will be on the two middle schools' social justice classes, and ensuring that all the students will be cognizant of social justice policies that will be necessary for them to advance to high school with non-biased, non-oppressive agendas.

To that end, I'll be sharing some of our process with you, and hope we can share with other educators and learn how to get our students to think for themselves, especially as history is happening on a daily basis that will transform our country away from its racist founding principles and toward a global, inclusive society.
