Check out @kelleytyfong and my research making it to front page of the metro section on the first day of school! "Late registrations complicate the start of school for many Boston families" https://t.co/hUX9OqeDLb via @BostonGlobe @GlobeVaznis

What if schools approached language difference with fascination rather than frustration? What if we used discourse analysis as a tool for student writing feedback instead of the dreaded “red pen?” Excited to release this collaboration with Joelle Pedersen! https://t.co/qpCOAtLmTB

Been saying this for years! 👇🏾 “'Race is a social construction' is something we commonly hear and say. Yet, biological ideas of race remain firmly rooted in our practices and discourse." https://t.co/7wjXAdPc1t

Already resending to all of my CT folks. Thanks for continuing to the important public sociology work @kelley_fong !

This paper is out and is open access!

The NAACP opened its national convention in Boston on Friday, marking the long-awaited return of the nation’s oldest civil rights organization to the home of its first chartered branch but a city still striving to overcome a legacy of racism.

Now live @ASR_Journal (OA 🇨🇦) This one's important to me. I really *felt* this research. If you've ever felt the burden of taking the time to provide thoughtful feedback to struggling students, this one's for you. And it matters for gender inequality 💃 https://t.co/Qltae2nxth

Enslavers defended slavery by claiming it was a “positive good” for Black people. Today Florida’s Board of Education approved new Black history standards that note enslaved Black people developed skills that “could be applied for their personal benefit.” https://t.co/xNEIZoK4o3

And no one should be shocked --this whitewashing of our history has been the goal of anti-woke-ism from the beginning. It was never about CRT or indoctrination, but about erasing the historical predicate for antiracist policies and knowledge. We must fight back. #Freedom2Learn

If SCOTUS wants to pretend that racial discrimination in education is not a thing, does that mean that the US government will also return the 11 million acres of land taken from Indigenous nations, of which major universities are still profiting?

It's sad to see Asian students being used to gut Affirmative Action. A reminder that the Model Minority Myth is a tool of white supremacy, not a road to acceptance.

In Massachusetts – home to the first public school and first university – our commitment to equity, inclusion, and representation in education remains unshakable.

Brown v board is next.

Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.

J. Sotomayor: "Ignoring race will not equalize a society that is racially unequal. What was true in the 1860s, and again in 1954, is true today: Equality requires acknowledgment of inequality."

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson with the dissent of the century: “Deeming race irrelevant in law does now make it so in life… No one benefits from ignorance.”

In the face of today’s #SCOTUS ruling in the Harvard/UNC admissions cases, NCSD & our members remain resolute in our commitment to defending #diversity & #equity in our nation’s PK-12 schools. Read our full statement w/quotes from several of our members: https://t.co/ItOIi21Qbo

When folks don't understand racism is a systemic issue, they make decisions like this. https://t.co/EeqmyWLHXX
