The definition of white privilege, tho, is how my British immigrants get special positive attention. #caedchat

A5 Ss at my school seem very aware of the political climate, yet many of them don't really understand the power of it yet. #caedchat

karlacalbear Feb 19 @ 11:35 PM EST

A4 my school has no immigrants on a military base. Our rural schools affected, families are scared. Many are farm laborers in CV #caedchat

karlacalbear Feb 19 @ 11:39 PM EST

A5 I feel that my Ss want 2 talk but we are not encouraged at all to. MAGA signs w/ Thank You banners all over. So frustrating! #caedchat
