Sometimes fear holds us back. The fear of retaliation, the fear of being shunned, the fear that our students will be mentally and maybe even physically harmed.
The only thing more harmful, is not holding those that are charged with ensuring a fair and equitable education system for our students ACCOUNTABLE for doing the job they are being paid a fair wage to do with OUR TAX DOLLARS.
