W/ open hearts @KennedyCathWA students push out hate from their school! @SeanNyberg, Paul Danforth & Michelle Beattie: LGBTQ folks often undergo this discrimination voiceless. Your passion to teach & love overcame hate and brought our communities closer #LoveIsLove#WeWantChange
This is the statement sent to me today by Sean Nyberg - the fiancé of Paul Danforth.
The photos below are from their engagement at Disneyland last November.
Danforth & another teacher resigned from Kennedy Catholic HS last week. Nyberg says they were forced out.
On Saturday, raised the #Pride flag at @KennedyCathWA. Unfortunately it was removed shortly after, but.... it looked good with the school ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💝 “#WeWantChange” - Students at Kennedy Catholic HS!
Hundreds gather in support of a student movement at @KennedyCathWA to ensure #LoveAboveHate! You deserve to be protected from discrimination based on your religion but not to discriminate against others based on your religion. Solidarity with the students #WeWantChange
Burien: students at @KennedyCathWA have left their classrooms and are staging a sit-in in their hallways to protest the forced resignation of two LGBT teachers. Students chant: #WeWantChange
Just spoke to Sean Nyberg, the fiancé of Paul Danforth. We asked him what his message is to the students participating in today’s sit-in and walkout at Kennedy Catholic High School.
Danforth is one of the two teachers who resigned from the school last week.
🏳️🌈 URGENT CALL TO ACTION 🏳️🌈
A catholic high school in the Seattle Area, Kennedy High School, had two beloved gay teachers who were FORCED TO RESIGN by the Catholic Archdiocese for getting engaged to marry their same sex partners!
Teachers were FORCED TO RESIGN FOR BEING GAY!
"Community hotlines for allies are needed to document when ICE is outside someone’s door. Allies are needed when immigrants are accessing government services. Also, start a community bond fund program.” @MonseLGBTQ
Trump and his admin have been on a relentless rampage against families, communities of color, and immigrants. We must reject discrimination & continue to stand up for immigration policies that reflect our nation’s values, support families, and reject racism. #ReunitingFamiliesAct
⚠️Rules around public charge have *changed* and go into effect on 2/24/2020. HOWEVER, there are many dangerous misconceptions about the change that risk producing a panic in the immigrant community.
We're clearing the air on what the change means, who it impacts, and more. 💭1/
