@Bam Are you familiar with the work of #DisruptTexts? 😊
The reason for the change in #Florida is concerning, but the change, itself, is long overdue. Teaching excerpts of #Shakespeare, rather than the whole play, for cultutal #literacy and making room for more diverse texts is an improvement to #HighSchool English classes. #DisruptTexts #K12 #education
@Quillette Can't read the article because I won't become a subscriber to a publisher of lies like the one in this text. The dedicated educators who created #DisruptTexts don't ever call for abandoning all classic lit. They just ask us all to re-think why we require the reading that we do and whether our choices reflect the reality of the diverse world we live in and the just society our democracy promises.

@ben_crowell_fullerton Yes! Please, can we stop teaching the Iliad to middle school #students who are not emotionally prepared to truly discuss rape in a classroom. #DisruptTexts
I like seeing people do meaningful work, hence my respect for the people behind #CritLib, #DisruptTexts, #miseducAsian, and more. As a neurologically #disabled person, I believe very strongly in the ethos of #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs.
@SR_Toliver I checked out you blog and 💖💖💖. I was a 9th/10th grade ELA teacher as well. Part of the reason I got on Twitter was to connect with folks in #disrupttexts and #educolor. Do you follow Ebony Elisabeth Thomas? I follow her on the bird app and it sounds like you both have a lot in common.
