#SupremeCourtDecision is sideways & upside down. Forcing kids to jump over larger, whiter obstacles to achieve equity, forcing kids to prove they're "as entitled as" rather than equal under the law. #TBATs #AffirmativeAction @WaBATs_ @CaliBats @AZBatsA @OklahomaBATs @TxBats

Book Bans are un-American. We need to protect our Libraries from politically motivated attacks. See what Librarians are up against here: publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/ch… #TBATs @NVBats @WaBATs_ @AlaskaBATs @hawaiibats @CaliBats @ColoradoBATsA @UtahBATs @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs

It's no surprise that schools that have the fewest resources have the lowest scores. Instead of punishing them, we should be providing them with better resources. #TBATs #LessTestingMoreTeaching @MissouriBATs @piper4missouri @ArkansasBATsA @FLBATsA @GeorgiaBATs2 @IndianaBATs

Common Core isn't gone, it's just been renamed in state after state. Standardized Tests are still required & they're all based on Common Core standards. Time to dump the tests. #TeachNotTest #TBATs @ColoradoBATsA @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs @UtahBATs @NVBats @WaBATs_ @CaliBats

Bill Gates says A.I. chatbots will teach kids how to read within 18 months: cnbc.com/2023/04/22/bil… #TBATs @CaliBats @AZBatsA @NewMexicoBATs @UtahBATs @ColoradoBATsA @NVBats @AlaskaBATs @hawaiibats @WaBATs_ Real kids need Real teachers.
