I teach in HISD. We have been sounding the alarm even before Miles was actually appointed. As long as the cuts and damages were inflicted on Black and Brown communities, whites thought they were safe. Their lack of concern was seen as being complicit…now they are up in arms and rightfully so.
Our students, teachers and staff are suffering. We really need the help of our state officials.
Please stay on this representatives Jones and Jarvis. We need help!!!
Miles’ New Education System is a joke! The destruction of the district is at hand.
