I Stand with #DisruptTexts ROBERTO GERMÁN

I stand with #DisruptTexts what will we disrupt next? perplexed that a call for inclusivity and representation in the language arts curriculum would move some resisters to immense disdain and disrespect.

There seems to be a concerted effort to generate the type of negative energy that only dwells in darkness while such interactions encourage the same type of response, we are children of light and love we don’t keep the type of energy as the heartless.

I stand with #DisruptTexts

I stand with Lorena Germán, Tricia Ebarvia, Julia Torres and Dr. Kim Parker Strong women that do not use their individual and collective voice passively what good would that be anyways? they inspire me and many people around the world to be better and go harder they challenge me to step out of my comfort zone because far too often comfort is home and I need to get out of the house.

I stand with #DisruptTexts my own biases need to be checked I can be a mess yet the work of applying a critical lens to our teaching practice is best done through community, centering the voices of Black, Indigenous and people of color in literature is a bold commitment to bring about greater unity.
