"Changing your position" is such a good way to put facing the status quo, especially on a stage. #dauth

Infamous mothers is a group for innovation just as much as support, which gives single black mothers sincere hope for their future. #dauth

"We imagine these moms as heroes, as game-changers." Again, a great goal. Hope this project succeeds in getting their message across. #dauth

"...Leveraging power we have to contribute to society," the goal of the Infamous Mothers Project. A noble goal if I've ever seen one. #dauth

"Acknowledge the weight of their blacknesss." It hurts, but this phrase empowers black single mothers to take control of their lives. #dauth

The idea that struggling make people better, common throughout fiction, has real-world implications, says Dr. Levingston. I agree. #dauth

@MRK_GaTech An impressive argument. I would say, however, the DIY "trend" would work for almost all age ranges. #dauth

@Dauth_Ben The system is there. Let's see if they succeed with it in a few years. Regardless of the outcome, Newton's solution is quite novel. #dauth

@GTmig Gerrymandering should be illegal, but the legal ramifications of making it so would make redistricting itself illegal. So messed up. #dauth

@sduggal8 That would be upsetting, yes. I thought tenure would at least mitigate this, but I've been wrong before. #dauth

@GT_Ilya @CJFerguson1111 @PlayNiceInst @GrowingUpGaming @brianprimack I hadn't known that violent video games somehow helped kids manage emotions. Guess the old "video games cause violence" was wrong. #dauth

@skidmoredauth (Part 2) There's a social aspect with shielding underage drinkers from authorities, and that probably warrants addressing. #dauth

@skidmoredauth (Part 1 of response) To say that laws need to be enforced better is noble, but police aren't all-knowing on drinking violations. #dauth

16. And while the proposed fixes seem easy enough, it would take many years before the first indications it might work would come. #dauth

15. The idea that a section of the US populace is not getting the education it deserves is "unAmerican" to the highest extent. #dauth

14. Another suggestion by the NEA; have a school's success be part of the community's success, take ownership of kids' well-being. #dauth

13. One point made by the NEA is quite poignant; Schools need to be "setting high, worthwhile, and attainable goals for students." #dauth

12. The idea that nothing can be done about these circumstances, however, is facile at best and damaging at worst. #dauth

11. Notice how there's no blame attached to the previous statement; African-Americans in failing schools are victims of circumstance. #dauth

10. So in effect, the poor educational attainment of African-Americans is fundamentally caused by a self-contained cycle of poverty. #dauth
