Silence is unacceptable. Teachable moment CT. Distance learning doesn’t mean we can’t meaningfully engage learners in realities that they see daily and will inherit. Racism isn’t getting worse, it’s getting filmed. COVID isn’t the only fear in our communities.

So, fears, all in the past
Fading so fast

And I think that's worth fighting for
And nobody out there ever gets to define

With this unruly heart of mine

Zander Moricz wasn’t allowed to deliver the original valedictorian speech he wrote for his Florida high school graduation because it included references to his LGBTQI+ activism. So, I invited him to deliver it at the U.S. Dept. of Education. When students speak, we must listen.
