Disinformation is what's dangerous. Denying our kids an opportunity to learn honest, accurate, age-appropriate history, which their parents overwhelmingly say they want them to learn…even when the topics are challenging.  time.com/6172216/public…

What's dangerous is hate speech & rhetoric like this — calling what teachers’ teach “filthy” and comparing them to a cruel dictator who has engaged in genocide. That's why teachers press for & create safe & welcoming school environments 4 all our students nbcnews.com/news/us-news/n…
