The radical changes necessary in this moment require radical transformation of the schooling project … maybe the hardest cultural transformation of all. But getting rid of the hideous rusty fences & The Big Lawns would be an imaginative and courageous beginning.

The lawn and the fence ARE the most powerful curriculum. Everything that matters in life is omitted here. Everything that sustains life is absent by design. The school resembles a factory (or prison) on purpose (see Foucault). 🧵

On my walk this morning. These rusty chain link fences & big monoculture lawns make me heartsick. Complete failure of imagination about what children, the 🌎, & the present/future deserve and require for LIFE TO GO ON. 🧵

If your Indigenous allyship & commitment to decolonization, Indigenization, and reconciliation stops at not wanting to cancel or reformat your observation of canada day, then it is not true allyship.
If this makes you uncomfortable or angry, sit with it and ask yourself, “why?”

Schools & children don’t need saviors, they need anti-racist educators!

Reminder: It’s okay to *not* thank fascists for their “leadership”.
The role of premier is not that of a volunteer.
Their time, effort, contributions, etc. are completely compensated for. Handsomely.
You do not owe Kenney anything.
He has already taken far too much.😔

Dr. Seidel broadened and brightened my teaching practice irrevocably. The curricular wisdom in this 🧵 is 🔥 #ecologicalheartofcurriculum #payattention #workthatisreal

This week @AdrianaLaGrange said she wants to "put curriculum in front of children". NO. The only curriculum that is always already 'in front' of us is LIFE. This sublime curriculum gift was at the door of @UCalgaryEduc yesterday. Everything to be learned starts here and now. 🧵

Noting that in AP copy, 18-yeear-old Michael Brown was an “18-year old Black man,” while 18-year-old Payton Gendron is a “white teenager.”

It’s not about decolonizing the education system, because that system is built on the continued oppression of our peoples.
It’s simply about being the instructor I needed as I navigated that system in my student years.
Be the support, the change, the love.
Students are human.
