Choosing which Glee behind-the-scenes pics & vids to share for DEC•AID is almost as hard as choosing what songs to sing... So many to choose from! Not to mention which pieces of Blaine’s wardrobe to auction 😏 ... Getting crazy nostalgic over here.

There is a $23 billion gap between predominantly white and predominantly non-white school districts. The Biden-Harris administration not only needs to invest in education, but needs to do so in a way that is racially equitable and closes this gap. #QualityEdChat

It is unfair and overwhelming that once again our hearts are breaking for the Black lives lost to violence we’ve seen before our eyes – and for the communities where we work and the kids we teach, who have lost so much and felt so much pain, especially in recent weeks.
