If you have schools that need to move NOW — not eventually: Let’s talk. 20 minutes. No pitch. Just an honest conversation about what’s possible. 📧 Terry@educentric.org 📞 713-628-5055 🌐 educentric.org #K12 #Superintendent #SchoolImprovement #NorthStarMetric #Educentric
Donald Trump has disinvited Maryland Governor Wes Moore, the only Black governor in America, from a so-called bipartisan dinner for the nation’s governors. Let that sink in. Not only is Governor Moore the only Black governor, he is also the vice chair of the National Governors Association. His exclusion is not protocol. It is not oversight. It is not accidental. It is a deliberate act of disrespect and racial targeting by a president who has repeatedly shown contempt for Black leadership, Black excellence, and Black presence in spaces of power. You cannot call something “bipartisan” while singling out and excluding the only Black governor in the country. You cannot preach unity while practicing segregation. You cannot demand civility while weaponizing exclusion. This is the same old playbook, erase Black leadership, marginalize Black voices, then gaslight the nation when it’s called out. And here is the real test of character: no governor with any moral decency should attend that dinner. Silence is complicity. Attendance is endorsement. Showing up as if nothing happened is participation in the insult. If one governor can be humiliated today, any governor can be targeted tomorrow. But make no mistake,this move was aimed squarely at Black leadership. History is watching. The country is watching. And Governor Wes Moore deserves solidarity, not silence. Racism doesn’t always wear a hood. Sometimes it sends out invitations and decides who’s worthy to receive one. Tag your governor and tell them not to attend. @maura_healey @MassGovernor
