I am taken aback by the chants prepared by the N.C. Association of Educators for today’s walkout.  Highlights include:

In our schools, BLACK LIVES MATTER!
In our homes, BLACK LIVES MATTER!
In our jobs, BLACK LIVES MATTER!
In the streets, BLACK LIVES MATTER!
EVERYWHERE, BLACK LIVES MATTER!

No funds for teachers? / SHUT IT DOWN!
No funds for TAs? / SHUT IT DOWN!

No justice? /
No peace! /
No funding? /
No peace!
