Welcome #weirded you know the drill. Introduce yourself and one thing you love about Doug that he doesn't know

edutechgirl Aug 23 @ 10:02 PM EDT

Stopping by #weirded for a bit just because I love @nathan_stevens's wise words (and gifs). I love @TheWeirdTeacher's awesome.

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:02 PM EDT

Tonight I am piloting the mothership on a journey about what is happening in the US #weirded

Tonight is going to be mostly serious because the earth will explode in December #weirded

A1: This has been simmering the whole time Obama was prez. People now have permission to be openly bigoted, because 45 is. #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:10 PM EDT

A1 I mean come on, Rome wasn't destroyed in a 180 days #weirded

annemdelgado Aug 23 @ 10:10 PM EDT

In reply to @nathan_stevens

shadow_uzumaki Aug 23 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1. Because people thought, w/Obama's election we're "Post-racial." Apparently, it was the opposite

TeacherDuck Aug 23 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@TeacherDuck Brett here. 4th grade teacher going into my 13th year and first as union president. #weirded

In reply to @nathan_stevens, @TeacherDuck

MissShuganah Aug 23 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 The quick and dirty answer is: racism, racism, racism. #weirded

Sneffleupagus Aug 23 @ 10:12 PM EDT

I think it directly stems from white people being conditioned to ignore race, because it's not "polite" to talk about. #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:12 PM EDT

For me, there were nuts out there but someone fed them after midnight and they turned into gremlins #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Aug 23 @ 10:12 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Not gonna lie, when he was elected, many of us were ecstatic during HS convos. "We did it!" Sure,there r fringes,but surely not...

shadow_uzumaki Aug 23 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1. Because people thought, w/Obama's election we're "Post-racial." Apparently, it was the opposite

MissShuganah Aug 23 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 They spent 8 years resenting a black man having been in the White House. They couldn't wait to reverse that. #weirded

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Maybe something about being too politically correct? #weirded or scared of other races

In reply to @Sneffleupagus

shadow_uzumaki Aug 23 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#WeirdEd I felt like my generation,esp. felt it, as we were abt that voting age. We were optimistic.

I love that Doug's tweets make me laugh when I'm grumpy #WeirdEd

Trust has to be earned first. Ss are (rightfully) skeptical of being honest w/ white teachers. #WeirdEd

Prior to election, political right didn't dare say where they stood, for fear of backlash. They're not all on board w/ this though #weirded

AwesomeSPED Aug 23 @ 10:18 PM EDT

#weirded. A1 I have no clue. But then I'm blue in KS Too many folks vote 4 whoever right 2 life tells them. I apologise for @KrisKobach1787

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:19 PM EDT

I feel the same way. I want to have hope for the future but it feels like a punch to the gut #weirded

In reply to @Sneffleupagus, @SarahMJoncas

shadow_uzumaki Aug 23 @ 10:19 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A2 Difficult to say, especially staying Neutral. Frame it on historical struggles against injustices in US? Civil Rights Movement

Sneffleupagus Aug 23 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: I told my Ss from jump that their right to an opinion stops at someone else's humanity. #WeirdEd

So far this may be the winning tweet of the night #weirded

A2: I told my Ss from jump that their right to an opinion stops at someone else's humanity. #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki Aug 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A2 In addition, point out that we're now in position to examine the motives/emotions/process behind struggle for SoJust,no textbook

rebelmusicteach Aug 23 @ 10:20 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Emily, South Florida, no cake for no one; I love leaving Doug out when we go to virtual Denny's.

One can only hope #weirded

In reply to @AwesomeSPED

SarahMJoncas Aug 23 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A2: talk about empathy. Talk about respect for others. Talk about resistance and protest. Help them look for the helpers. #WeirdEd

Oh man. I still don't think that fracture has recovered. #WeirdEd

In reply to @SarahMJoncas, @shadow_uzumaki

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Q3 this is something I ponder daily #weirded

TeacherDuck Aug 23 @ 10:22 PM EDT

#weirded A2: I think you be as honest with them as you can. Keep in mind age appropriateness. Educate on how to sift through all the news.

shadow_uzumaki Aug 23 @ 10:22 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Ah yes, https://t.co/yPL22IFXdE I believe something like this link. Lol

In reply to @Sneffleupagus

AwesomeSPED Aug 23 @ 10:23 PM EDT

#weirded A2 as honestly as we can. I have 5th and 6th from a variety of backgrounds. We are trying to just let them know they are loved

MissShuganah Aug 23 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A2 Very straightforward. Depends on the age group. #weirded

Sneffleupagus Aug 23 @ 10:23 PM EDT

I caught their attention by asking if everyone had a right to their opinion, then asked if I could think "x group" weren't people. #WeirdEd

In reply to @nathan_stevens

shadow_uzumaki Aug 23 @ 10:23 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A3 If not, this is the time. History is taught as if it does not exist anymore. "This happened x years ago. Know it. Next,this"

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Q3 this is something I ponder daily #weirded

annemdelgado Aug 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A2. W/ my students we practice fair treatment, showing kindness, social skills. TK-2 moderate SDC. #weirded

SarahMJoncas Aug 23 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A3: I teach music, so I can't speak to gen ed curriculum. But I try to tie it in when relevant. #WeirdEd

Honestly I thought we all agreed that Nazis were bad. Were all these people sick on the week that WWII was covered #weirded

annemdelgado Aug 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A3. Nope. With limited time we have to leave things out in survey courses. And we've been leaving out uncomfortable stuff. #weirded

Sneffleupagus Aug 23 @ 10:26 PM EDT

I don't think we were doing a good job at tying to current events. "This happened, but it's all over and everything's wonderful." #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Q3 this is something I ponder daily #weirded

nathan_stevens Aug 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

To me how is this not covered. To never have that type of event again you have to learn about it. Look where we are now #weirded

In reply to @SarahMJoncas

MissShuganah Aug 23 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A2 Be nurturing. Be reassuring. Make sure Ss know that people are resisting. #weirded
