Wow! A stunning read - thank you so much for formulating & sharing this & all power to your students & yourself. This resonates so loud & clear:

“I think no one really wants to have a whole generation of people who know how to fake it and phone it in and debate me bro but no idea what they're talking about. I truly believe that the students we graduate who actually read and think and write for themselves will stand out like floodlights, and will likely… be the ones who can pursue anything they want. But the gamble they are taking is reading and thinking and then being led by a generation of zombies, and it scares them.”

They will be floodlights as you are. 🙂

Not In Our Name: #Feminist #Academics and #Educators Speak Out Against #Transphobia We call on all trans-inclusive feminist academics and educators to sign this #statement docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI

Google DocsNot In Our Name: Feminist Academics and Educators Speak Out Against TransphobiaWe call on all trans-inclusive feminist academics and educators to sign this statement: ‘Not In Our Name’ We are non-trans feminist academics and educators. We write in support of trans rights, trans wellbeing and trans inclusion. The harmful Supreme Court ruling states that women and men are defined by their ‘biology', by their ‘sex at birth’. The extreme interpretation of this ruling by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) suggests that trans women and trans men should be restricted in their access to workplaces, schools, sports and services, excluding trans people from using the facilities of their gender. Anti-trans campaigners say they want to exclude trans women from women’s spaces in order to protect cis women. We do not need protection from trans people. We need action against sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence and everyday sexism. We need policies that guarantee women get equal pay for their work, affordable childcare and the eradication of childbirth-related deaths. And we need the state to stop the violence that trans people face at the hands of cis men and cis women. We need to stand together in defence of everyone's bodily autonomy, gender expression, reproductive rights, and individual freedoms. We cannot have a state or society that checks people’s genitals when they go to the toilet, go to work or school, play sports, access healthcare or use facilities. We unequivocally reject the idea that women can be defined by their biology, a claim which is neither feminist nor scientific. For centuries, women have fought for the right to do, wear and be what they want to be. It is essentialist and patriarchal to assert that body, genes, chromosomes and reproductive capacity make women (or men). Feminism teaches us that our body does not determine our destiny, and nor should legislation, policies, or society's expectations. Trans people are being used as scapegoats and a distraction from the problems that we actually face in society. This is an attack on trans people and will further inflame transphobia. When the Supreme Court ‘clarifies’ (cf. Supreme Court, 2025, pg. 76) what a woman ‘is’ they enforce the idea that all women need to conform to a singular, racialised and ableist model of femininity. We want our feminism to be vibrant and intersectional. Trans and non-binary people are part of us. We support all people to be free and safe to express themselves without fear of prejudice or harm. As educators and academics, we have a duty to care. We must strive to make education a safer, more inclusive and equitable space for everyone. We stand with our trans and non-binary colleagues and students. We fight for everyone’s right to be educators and educated, without prejudice or harm. We are not victims. We welcome trans people. We demand that trans people are able to live their lives safely and with dignity. We believe that trans women are women and trans men are men. The Supreme Court ruling is not a victory for feminism; it is a victory for patriarchy. And when the patriarchy wins, everybody loses. This ruling does not speak for us. Not in our name.

AIF-Massachusetts

There are also some walk-ins scheduled for schools in Massachusetts on May Day. What is a "walk-in"?

From the National Education Association: "During school walk-ins, parents, educators, and students, along with neighbors and community leaders, gather in front of their school 30-45 minutes before the school day begins. We rally and listen to a few speakers discuss what they want for the school, and then we all walk into the school together. Walk-ins can be used to celebrate your school, collaborate with school officials, or protest harmful school conditions and policies."

"Our world, so overwhelming, needs you in such a special way. In the history of humanity, new pages are being written, many of them filled with sufferings, others full of hope. And you, from your place, every day, every morning or every afternoon, when you meet with your students, are building part of that history."

Protect #TransYouth and #educators, too. The increased pressure on teachers over the past couple of decades has to be almost unbearable.

ΔρομογράφοςΔρομογράφος (@dromografos)#Florida teacher loses job for using student's chosen name in violation of state law https://apnews.com/article/florida-lgbtq-education-desantis-fc8c37368bca9cfd33b6676576c78f06 > School district officials aren’t renewing the contract of a teacher who used a student’s chosen name without getting permission from the student’s parents. > Dozens of students and parents showed up in support of teacher Melissa Calhoun at a Brevard Public Schools board meeting Tuesday night, demanding that her contract as an English teacher at Satellite High School be renewed. The 17-year-old student chose the preferred name to reflect the student’s gender identity and the teacher only was acting out of compassion, according to the supporters. > Calhoun knowingly defied the law signed by Republican Gov. Ron #DeSantis in 2023 which requires parental consent to use an alternative to a student’s legal name, according to Janet Murnaghan, a spokeswoman for the Brevard Public Schools.

The #oligarchs , #billionaires , #fascists and #warcriminal s would already be in involuntary reality tv show, fighting for scraps on ny streets, if you were able to get the narrative right. #Journalists , #writers and #educators not to mention #politicians have long omitted the #humiliation of those without #higherEducation , inherited #wealth and #socialStatus . It's a western #caste system where every success is eagerly celebrated as earnt, and every failing is shrugged as a genetic trait.
