I am baffled why some folks are opposed to having our students become more knowledgeable, respectful, compassionate, kind, accepting, responsible, caring people.

For decades, educators have been mandated to receive training on issues that likely affect their classrooms. Teachers have welcomed learning more about difficult issues because these educators want their classrooms to be rewarding and fruitful for their students.
Receiving information on issues provides educators with tools, knowledge and experiences that in turn help students dealing with issues that likely will impact their educational growth and opportunities. Educators have been mandated to become knowledgeable on issues like drugs/alcohol, CPR/mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, bullying, school safety/shootings and, most recently, cultural diversity/inclusion.
Thanks, class of 2021, for lessons learned and memories made
We all feel a little different right now and have done different things these last four years. We’re all going to different places in the days to come, but right now, for the last time, here we all are in one place together.

So here we are at the end of it. I’ll admit I have mixed emotions. The biggest one is probably relief, to be honest.
I am baffled why some folks are opposed to having our students become more knowledgeable, respectful, compassionate, kind, accepting, responsible, caring people.
