"A gap in representation leads to a gap in information..." A very interesting article on prejudice, biased algorithms and a search for the roots of #data's genger gap on @TDAN_com by @MandySeiner: tdan.com/datas-gender-g…

This issue of TDAN.com covers #datagovernance #dataestate data's #gendergap #datacatalog #knowledgegraphs #DMP ... a lot of #data stuff. Fresh content from @RSeiner, @MandySeiner, @AJAlgmin, Polikoff of @TopQuadrant, Beechum and @HBKI71. tdan.com

“Is there proper ventilation in the nurse’s office? How would I know what proper ventilation would be?" said an educator tasked with determining if NYC school buildings are ready to reopen. ny.chalkbeat.org/2020/8/25/2140…

Council members who voted against this year’s budget got seven times less discretionary and capital funding from Corey Johnson than those who voted yes. Three said on the record that was an act of retribution: nydailynews.com/news/politics/…

This is a misrepresentation. <325K families completed the school reopening survey and 2/3 of them chose remote learning. @NYCMayor assumes anyone who didn’t complete the survey wants in-person learning- but we know the survey didn’t reach many multi-lingual & low-income families.

@mdags_ @mattressfactory They probably think we’ve forgotten about the harassment/assault scandal!

Extremely disappointed to see that my favorite museum in the world, @mattressfactory, is hiring sanitation workers for $10/hour. They pride themselves on being progressive, but won’t even pay a living wage to those they will rely on to keep their museum safe during a pandemic.

Even Target is hiring at $15/hour right now. You’re paying “Visitors Associates” $13/hour. Why is the most important position to maintain public health and the safety of your staff also the lowest paid?

“Making black students feel valued goes beyond general ‘good teaching.’ It requires educators to view the success of black students as central to the success of their own teaching.” -Pirette McKamey, SF Mission High School's principal. Via @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/education/arch…

I am extremely excited to be judging speech for the @speechanddebate national tournament today! It feels like just yesterday that I was competing in Duo in Kansas City, but it was 6 years ago. Best of luck to everyone competing! #NSDANats

TODAY!

Here are more stories that have been omitted from or misrepresented in corporate textbooks. It is important that K-12 students have access to people’s history that exposes & questions roots of inequality & highlights efforts to create a more just society. zinnedproject.org/if-we-knew-our…

People have argued for decades that $ could be spent for social development, community development, programming, services, supports, education, & you don't need to spend the $ on police. There are 1000s of reports, speeches on it. It is not a radical idea, it's a suppressed one.
