PRONOUNS
Allow me to share this perspective as a Panamanian who was raised in the Canal Zone and then came to the United States when he was 10 years old to attend private, Catholic schools until high school graduation. It was a sheltered upbringing, by design of course by loving parents. Still, I want to be clear about something often taken for granted.I cannot support hatred of individuals. I do not accept skin color or LGBTQ+ as a reason for poor treatment of other people. This has never been more needed, especially in education and online spaces like this one, given the level of hate and bias.
Being who you are should not result in blind bias or hatred. I reject that and the frames that people have adopted that result in such hate.
As a Latinx who grew up in the Republic of Panama and then Texas, I have my own perspective.
My own identity as a cisgender (he/him/his), a bilingual/bicultural speaker, a person caught between two cultures, I have not suffered the slings and arrows of bias, prejudice that I can only ally with, including #Black #LGBTQ+ #IndigenousPeoples.
Since I speak and write in Standard English, I enjoy a level of white privilege due to my skin color (from my Swedish father) and my last name (“Guhlin” is Swedish, not Latino), I know that my life experience does not give me the authority to speak in more certain terms.
So, I offer my perspective in this space in a tentative way, and hope that I can learn with and from others.

HISD superintendent stars in his own musical, “depicting how the new superintendent will rekindle the extinguished spirits of burnt-out teachers, give hope to hopeless students, and bestow a visionary plan to save public education.” Teachers were not amused. #hisd #txed https://www.texasobserver.org/houston-isd-takeover-the-musical/

“We’re addressing all these manufactured crises that don’t have any real direct existential connection to where Texans live and what they need: great public schools,” said Pastor Charles Johnson and Charles Luke of @pastors4txkids in this Q&A. texasobserver.org/abbott-school-… #txlege, #txed https://www.texasobserver.org/abbott-school-vouchers-special-session/

At a time when #txlege wants more guns in schools, our investigation found only 10% of districts fully comply with the 2019 safety law that requires threat assessments and mental health svcs. #txed https://www.texasobserver.org/students-pay-as-texas-school-districts-violate-threat-assessment-law/

As a former teacher, I know this bill would discourage my former students from reading. For many years, it was sound pedagogical practice to give students a choice in what they read. This bill is taking education backwards. #txed #txlege https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2023/04/13/bill-requiring-texas-schools-to-tell-parents-what-books-kids-check-out-passes/?sailthru_id=626c33e69dd2ea034f0d7432&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Politics%202023-04-18&utm_term=Politics

“Even as Texas sits on a $33 billion surplus, the state, in what seems like an apt metaphor, has offered crap to public schools so far this legislative session.” #txed #txlege #education https://www.texasobserver.org/propery-tax-public-schools-teacher-pay-wages/

Despite public outcry, TEA runs roughshod over the concerns of parents, teachers, school administrators, and elected officials and announces their takeover of HISD: #txed #txlege https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/hisd-state-takeover-houston-live-updates-17839142.php

This is really sad. Wheatley students in this article are blaming themselves for the TEA takeover of HISD when it is the state that has failed students- by imposing a system of testing over educating and now by threatening to close this local school. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/hisd-state-takeover-phillis-wheatley-high-school-17826054.php #txed #education

Republican state officials are “manufacturing an education crisis to prevent people of color in Houston from exercising their citizenship rights and seizing political power.” #txed https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/State-takeover-of-Houston-public-schools-is-about-14980692.php

Abbott’s legislative priorities:
Taxpayers’ $$$ for rich property owners
Taxpayers’ $$$ for rich families’ to subsidize private school tuition
Taxpayers’ $$$ for law enforcement

Outright lies to parents. That’s how Abbott is planning to push school vouchers. #txed #txlege https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/article/greg-abbott-school-voucher-misleading-17791327.php

“‘School districts, what they have to do if they lose a student, [is] be smart about how they allocate their resources and maybe that’s one less fourth grade teacher,’ Steve Lecholop, a TEA deputy commissioner, said in a call” #txed #txlege https://www.texastribune.org/2023/02/14/texas-education-agency-vouchers/

So much for their belief in the free market
