Journalists, I am begging you, please do not rile up the racist football fans with your coverage tomorrow. Be aware of the weight of your words.

This 4th of July I’m grateful to be part of @netflix We the People, a musical series on civics by @barackobama & @michelleobama . It’s amazing to see my poem The Miracle of Morning as an animated short. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it. 🇺🇸🎆🎇

The truth is that this government fails pupils across the board. They also have no significant proposals to fundamentally alter that. Instead their attack on the term white privilege is designed to cause division. This is the politics of divide and rule applied to education.
