Just found out my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb has been banned from an elementary school in Miami-Dade County because it causes "confusion and indoctrination". Thx for your work reporting this news @FLFreedomRead @MiamiHerald . Visit my page for my fundraiser to combat book bans like these
Florida Freedom to Read Project@FLFreedomRead
Here are the documents we shared w/ @smbrugal of the @MiamiHerald. They restricted THE HILL WE CLIMB by @TheAmandaGorman, forward by @Oprah to grades 6-8 of the @MDCPS K-8 school after a parent complained it was “not educational” & contained “hate messages.” Absurdity.

Fisk University has always been at the forefront of social justice. Tuesday’s statement in solidarity with the #TNThree and yesterday’s event in support of gun legislation and our democratic rights are merely the latest examples of Fisk’s embedded commitment to a better future for all.

Our peaceful protest was because another preventable school shooting happened at Covenant School in Nashville & the People's House chose to ignore them and expel us instead! We must work tirelessly to protect our kids, communities, to end gun violence, and protect our democracy.

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

In House Education Admin Committee right now where my Republican colleagues are hearing HB 1202 to allow teachers to carry guns in schools.
Our community is still grieving last week’s mass shooting at Covenant elementary that took 6 lives— their solution is more guns.
Shameful.

I have never posted about this, mainly for the safety of my spouse & family. But, she has asked me to share in this extremely pivotal moment. We live in TN. My spouse is an OB/GYN and every time she does an abortion to save someones life, she commits a class C felony.

A new study from the @VGamaLab provides insight into the role of mitochondrial dynamics in cristae maintenance and the metabolic capacity of the cell, as well as the disease mechanism underlying EMPF1.
