My little sister is student teaching an 8th grade class.
Last week was all about Jim Crow laws, ending with a segment on poems from an incarcerated black gay man from the 30s (Jeremiah Reeves).
This week she's "facilitating a discussion on the N word"
Her classes *adore* her even though she's teaching all this in rural MN and tying all this into Black Lives Matter and current events.
I am SO UNBELIEVABLY PROUD of my little sister ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
I fudged a bunch of that up; Jeremiah Reeves was from the 50s, not the 30s, and it's not exactly *rural* MN but it's the outskirts of the twin cities where red votes outnumber the blue.
But yeah, super gotdamn proud of my sister. :D
