"The ideal set up by the Party was something huge, terrible, and glittering ...a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting -- 300 million people all with the same face." -George Orwell, 1984

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up. What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard. I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment. It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered. It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

Another reason to change the funding formula. Poorer students, esp from African-American and Hispanic communities are left behind by the current one. Which is NOT based on need. Henrico has done yeoman’s work in recent years to try and narrow the gap. We need the state’s help!

In northern Virginia and in the Richmond area, there's huge inequality between schools. The Top 10 most unequal school divisions are below, color-coded by which presidential candidate won the county in 2024. 🙃

To all of the teachers who got up this morning, looked at the election results, and still went to work to educate & care for our nation’s students today— thank you. We did not have the privilege of taking the day off. We had to move forward. However that looked for you today, thank you for showing up for America’s future.

#Civics #Teachers: what resources do you use to teach ss about current political party platforms?? Thought about taking excerpts from each party's "master" platform, but that would still be overwhelming for my ms ss...an infographic made by a nonpartisan source would be ideal!

I am SO excited for this documentary. Having seen the 1st episode I cannot say enough how beautiful and honest Citizen Nation is. We will “see” our students, our colleagues, our schools and ourselves in the narrative. Appointment tv is back again.
Retro Report@RetroReport

1/ What does the next generation of leaders look like? #CitizenNation follows students as they participate in the nation’s top civics competition and wrestle with what it means to be a citizen today. Watch the series premiere Oct. 8 at 9/8c on @PBS. pbs.org/show/citizen-n…
