Dr. Mayes...you have the gravitas to not only speak the truth of this unique situation... but to articulate it in the spirit of truth...Blessing family!!!

As an educator I totally agree my class is not called Language Arts its called Life Arts where you learn to read, think, and utilize the language to Open New Doors, eliminating excuses. Keep reading

First year English Language Arts teacher here, I will be calling my class Life Arts from now on! Thanks 😊

@@sonyahathaway51293years later, have you fully imbibed the marxist culture of the American educational system? Are you fully indoctrinated? Has your school gone all-in on the radical trans ideology, gender identity and racial politics? Have all the social dilemmas been incorporated into all areas of your curriculum? Do you see the resultant stress and anxiety in the faces of your students-and in the silent complaints of your fellow teachers? How much of your instructional time, PD time and preparation time is free of incorporating the myriad social agendas? Don’t go along to get along. Speak out on the bullsh*t before you lose your soul, be one nothing more than a sellout, and cause immeasurable harm to the children whom you entered the profession to help.

Everything you mentioned has to be taught in college. Or must be learned by choice.

I don't know; it seems that being educated in this European education system has become a curse to us as African-Americans, for some reason the more education we get the less we want to be around our kind there is no reason in theworld, that with the enormous amount of education and economics sucess we have achieved that we are still looking, hoping, and waiting for someone to do for us when we can definitely get it done for ourselves, is it the systemthats letting us down or are we letting our selves down? .

We can't expect our children to be properly educated while in a state of captivity. We need to recognize that we are captive in the first place.

[@SuperMello21]

Amazing!

[@tjmomo82]

This is a parents fault. However they are stressed beyond belief. So changing parents minds. Will change the kids minds.

[@dr.yvette9109]

Read Gifted Hands. It is not always the parent's fault.

An "intellectual insurgency" does not account for those who have different values. I am talking about basic core values like trait openness and in-group loyalty, not any specific cultural values.

[@ibrahimgassama8362]

Wow , that was great .

The adults must change their minds in order to reach their own children. What are doing to push reading instead of weaves and jordans? Know your worth before Tv tells it for you .

FANGA!I must say where is the platform for the poor uneducated they are the ones with the story,,,especially of how wealth eluded the African communities in America while other communities got a foot hold through corruption and allowed to prosper,,I must say he hit one,Europeans and Arabs....I did not go college I hated school,none the less I graduated I can definitely read better then some college grads,and will out wit them with common sense,,,my only issue is I don't have this platform or some degree,,,,at the same time is it worth it as we (African) people are constantly being attacked relentlessly....while our elites run away from people that look like them instead of building us by us.ASHAY!

This is racialist nonsense. I'd like to see TEDx sponsor a talk by a white teacher making a compelling case for how the white experience in the classroom could have remarkable impact. None of my teachers shared my culture and that mattered not one bit. I was a child, a student whose only job was to learn. By the way, TEDx, the word is not "impact". To impact is to collide; it has a negative denotation. Better words would be "influence" or "inspire".

[@dr.yvette9109]

The question is, What did you learn?

[@nunyabiznys5169]

everyone in America gets the White experience in the classroom, and that is the problem
