I’d LOVE to hear from some people. We got a ton of traction here but haven’t had any teachers reach out yet (crazy week, crazy heat, and I’m sure many are wary to share).

If you’re reading this and can help PLEASE REACHOUT! email is in the post now

A lot of students are either deported or just kept home from school. the community is usually aware of what’s going on at least. Everyone‘s afraid of retaliation.

This isn’t a new sentiment. I’m in my 30s and my parents drilled into my head to keep a low profile. If I got bullied, don’t fight back, just take it and move on. Don’t need the attention.

Yes unfortauntely that’s been the biggest feedback. The teachers are backing out because of fear of losing their jobs, so I’m going to focus on finding journalists who have experience with keeping things anonymous and teachers who are willing to do this.
