father of the year. don’t just read the quote, listen to the heart in his voice.

“what struck me most about those who are protesting is how long they waited. the restraint they showed. not the spontaneity, the restraint. they waited and waited for justice. and it didn’t come. no one talks about that...” - Toni Morrison

It’s beautiful to see the we keep us safe ethos across Gaza solidarity encampments, between students, faculty, parents, community members. Not surprising for those who have been part of encampments for liberation but a reminder that another world is possible. It is already here…

My god. Please read this today. My heart is broken open again. Thank you Lujayn for telling your story. “The occupation can never destroy our faith, our strength, our courage, our goodness, or our compassion.”

I condemn any potential police action on Columbia University's campus. As an educator who personally experienced the over policing of our schools, this is personal to me. We must resist right-wing demagoguery and stop suppressing peaceful protest if we are to keep students safe.

As a former member of a student social movement in Mexico and now as an educator, I am always in awe in how students have the capability of imagining new worlds. Our role as educators is to expand and protect those voices.

There is no “teacher shortage” beyond the one we’ve constructed by making the profession untenable.
