@MariaBruno01 Having a special giggle at this, 'cause I'm in Austria this holiday, singing this song every day!

I feel attacked

@Doc_CCollins So very grateful for your service and incredible heart for kids and families ❤️

Yikes, I've seen several people leaving positions today! In the midst of that, I share with you my resignation from the State Board. Stay tuned for what comes next...

Hopping on Twitter to make sure Ohio friends have these updates + can TAKE ACTION. Next week is scheduled to be a tough one for Honesty advocates, so please find an hour today to write your testimony and send it off. All the details you need are at honestyforohioeducation.org

@Jarrett_Lerner If Kapla blocks aren't on your radar screen yet, I give them all the thumbs up! A little expensive, but such a beautiful tool for creativity. kapla-usa.com

Still not sure who has more fun with these things, me or the kids.

@CourtneyFayeJ @OCTELA @Honesty4OhioEd And there's more to come, right, @CourtneyFayeJ 📚❤️

Thanks, @CRCarter313 for organizing a beautiful #octela23 (and hyping up @ncte in Ohio in November 2023!). Ohio folks, let's be sure to heed the brilliance of @jasminewarga and @juliaerin80 - put books in kids' hands; read poetry; share stories. AND work for @Honesty4OhioEd !!!

14 years of sometimes tweeting, sometimes reading your tweets, and often feeling conflicted about the power of social media. Now squarely in the awkward teenage years, with gusto. Thanks, friends!

@michelle4ohio @Honesty4OhioEd This is terrific outreach, Michelle - TY!

Despite the Ohio Board of Education being a non-partisan position, it has become increasingly polarized in recent years. by Conor Morris wksu.org/education/2022…

Rev. Dr. John Lentz, another pastor from Cleveland Heights, spoke out against the resolution: "Thinking that this issue that is before you is some kind of fad without some kind of real-life consequences is naïve and dangerous," he said.

@Honesty4OhioEd Thank you to Rev. Andy Burns from @kingaveumc for sharing testimony from young people in his congregation! "Our students know as well as any of us do that bullying starts with words but it doesn’t end there," he said.

@kurtsenior_ your commitment to honest and complete teaching is a gift for your students and us adults learning from you, too. And I love that you center joy as the interview wraps - reminds me of the work @GholdyM and @BLoveSoulPower are doing. So grateful for you!

Here is a tiny bit of reprieve re: HB 454. It is not justice. I'm listening to the amazing and inspiring @MariaBruno01 I encourage each of us to stay vigilant; continue to learn, organize, engage in this lame duck session. Following @Honesty4OhioEd to stay updated.

I'm not sure how long I'll be hanging out here, but before I leave, let me remind Ohio folks to PROTECT TRANS KIDS: actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop… Thanks!
