Proud to join friends and colleagues from @CupeAB in their fight for a better deal. We can’t have a strong Public Education system without them! @albertateachers and @EdPubTeachers colleagues in YEG: come stand in solidarity every Wednesday!

Another #ABRed4Ed, another day spent wondering when this government will prioritize the needs of students in this province. It is unacceptable that they continue to be funded at the lowest level of any students in Canada. @albertateachers and AB citizens won’t take it anymore!

It’s an @albertateachers bargaining day so I’m wearing #Red4EdAB. Alberta students are funded the least of any students in Canada and @EdPubTeachers are standing together to demand better. Our kids deserve smaller classes and well-resourced schools!

Proud to stand with my @EdPubTeachers and @albertateachers colleagues and demand better for the support staff working in our schools. @Alberta_UCP needs to do better for education. Our students deserve it!

When I posted last week’s #Red4EdAB photo, some were upset by the pride flag in my room. It’s still there, but this week’s background includes grammar help for those hateful posts replete with errors. I’m with the @albertateachers fighting for better learning conditions!

Today our @albertateachers bargaining team is meeting with government to secure a better deal for education. Our students deserve better than being the lowest funded in Canada! @EdPubTeachers stand behind you! #wearetheunion

Be warned, @demetriosnAB, this is bad policy for any government, especially one that touts fiscal responsibility. @albertateachers and all Albertan citizens need to be clear that defending public education is a top priority. #abed.

lol. She just discovered heteronormativity. Cute. As a young gay kid growing up, it was impossible to avoid straight couples everywhere. Every tv show. Every book. Every ad. Every comment from an adult asking if the opposite sex kid you’re playing with at recess is your gf.
I don't care who you're having sex with but I don't need your sexual preferences shoved down my throat everytime I enter a store, go for a walk, watch TV or during any other activities. Provided you're not harming anyone & you stay the hell away from children, you do you.

Good thing their MLA is the parliamentary sec. for rural health @MartinLongUCP. Perhaps he could start by publicly condemning his 6 caucus colleagues that recently appeared at the noncologist event where the keynote made offensive and harmful accusations about AB doctors.

Proud to be a part of @EdPubTeachers who are consistent, strong advocates for sexual and gender diversity. Kudos to @fyrefly_ua and @CampfYreflyYEG for all their great work! Happy Pride!

And in case you work for a school board that doesn’t want to share Pride books (because reading is bad), here are some great recommendations! @ABELATeachers.
Need some ideas for what to read this #Pride? 🌈📚. There’s been an absolute windfall of exciting queer releases in 2024 alone—so many more than we could possibly list in one post!—but we wanted to make sure to get at least a few of them on your #TBR!

Annual reminder that if your school board’s notion of Pride is writing “be nice” in rainbow letters while actively blocking LGBTQ texts from classrooms and shutting down real conversations, you’re not an ally. #PrideinEducation #NoPrideinBookBans.
