I wish such a sense memory could spark joy in the advocates & dyslexics reading this. Instead, they know this reality: In 2007, "balanced" literacy was in full force in most American schools (despite NRP reporting), so...many kids weren't really reading at all. #lucycalkins #dyslexia #illiteracy

This stunt is a disservice to voters.

A significant number WILL struggle to navigate this ridiculous ballot.
Would like to see total spoiled ballots post-election.

Imagine being a voter with:
low vision?
Dyslexia?
English language learner?
Developmental delay?
Brain injury?
Parkinson’s?

For decades, ADHD, Autism Dyspraxia and Dyslexia were drastically underdiagnosed, especially in women and minorities. What we’re witnessing today isn’t overdiagnosis—it’s a long-overdue correction and an increase in visibility.

Reminder that Linda McMahon is very credibly accused of sex trafficking minors & covering up child rapes for >20 years. The reason she hasn’t faced legal consequences for it is not for lack of evidence, but because she was able to delay accountability until she was outside the statute of limitations

WATCH: "You know Linda McMahon? I bet she's never been in a public school," says Gov. Tim Walz on the Trump Education Secretary.

The woman who is currently destroying the department of education is named in a child sex abuse lawsuit.

Linda McMahon knows how to fail children.

Thank you for sharing about your experiences!

How sweet. That's an amazing gift idea.

Same. Libby and Overdrive are the greatest.

Don't forget about illiteracy and dignity. For many, the indignity of being the "class clown" is more appealing than the indignity of being the kid who can't read. Disruptive behaviors often mask deeper learning struggles.

Just watch: All of his enemies' names will somehow magically appear in those files. Scammer antics.

Ugh. That app is the worst.

Devastated for these victims and their families.

Please share if you feel that everyone deserves to have full access to the written word if they want full access to the written word.

Some progress in reading thus far...we have so much work to do if we want to help kids write for freedom and joy.

It's so sad that I have to wonder if this checklist is up to date...

Maybe! But there are many, many who cannot read and write. We must support all who wish to learn. #SkyWriting

Thank you so much for encouraging others to listen to this important work.

The U.S. is not evil. It has a corrupt leader who brainwashed a LOT of very desperate, jaded, and uninformed people before the vote. Americans do not want Canada as a state nor do they want Trump to hurt people or resources over another cruel power play. We are grieving our loss of democracy.
