As February comes to an end, we’ve been reflecting on the important movements in education
highlighted this month. The Black Lives Matter at School movement is fighting for racial
justice in schools across the country. Teachers Against Child Detention highlights the
educators’ role as mandated reporters and exposed the U.S. government’s awful policy of
detaining immigrant children in detention centers. The one-year anniversary of the Parkland
school shooting reminds us of the students and teachers who turned their trauma and grief
into a crusade to end gun violence, calling out the despicable inaction of our politicians.
When children in our country do not have culturally relevant curriculum or counselors, when
children are imprisoned, when children fear for their lives in school, we are damaging them.

system of education policies forced on schools by non-educators that does more to add trauma
to children’s lives than to reduce it. Teachers are witnesses and first responders to the harm
that is being caused.

NBC news recently reported that the increase of children showing up in emergency rooms
due to a mental health crisis is “staggering.” The American Academy of Pediatrics also
