I discuss the importance of adult's taking responsibility for educating our youth, including neurodivergent children. I speak about how the education industry can be a powerful arm of the oppressive systems we're fighting against. I also discuss the relevancy to recent developments regarding the US Department of Education's attempts to remove DEI initiatives. I also urge us to continue to imagine new educational paradigms that promote freedom and peace for all.Key PointsWhat the adults in schools need for successWhy we need to pay attention to how our schools are structuredThe impact of the Education Department's "Dear Colleague Letter" defeat regarding DEIHelpful Links:A.D.E. website: www.audacitytodaretoeducate.orgFollow A.D.E. on Instagram: a_d_e_labA.D.E. on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/audacitytodaretoeducate/Email Shakela: [email protected] me to speak or as your personal coach! sheldongayisbugn.comFree GroupMe Community for Talented and Gifted adults: https://groupme.com/join_group/108040800/igLaxqNGND Connect - Online community for neurodivergent people: ndconnect.appUmbrella ND - Non-profit focused on neurodivergent advocacy: https://umbrellaopensdoors.org/Keywordsdear colleague, neurodivergence, advocacy, education, minority youth, parenting, school-to-prison pipeline, accommodations, giftedness, diversity, communityIntro and Outro music provided by byrdversion1 - "Understand" from the album Nevermore Hosted on Acast.
