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.</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Key Points</strong></h2><p><br></p><ul><li>What the adults in schools need for success</li><li>Why we need to pay attention to how our schools are structured</li><li>The impact of the Education Department's  \"Dear Colleague Letter\" defeat regarding DEI</li></ul><p><br></p><h2><strong>Helpful Links:</strong></h2><ul><li>A.D.E. website: www.audacitytodaretoeducate.org</li><li>Follow A.D.E. on Instagram: a_d_e_lab</li><li>A.D.E. on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/audacitytodaretoeducate/</li><li>Email Shakela: shakela@audacitytodaretoeducate.org</li><li>Hire me to speak or as your personal coach! sheldongayisbugn.com</li><li>Free GroupMe Community for Talented and Gifted adults: https://groupme.com/join_group/108040800/igLaxqNG</li><li>ND Connect - Online community for neurodivergent people: ndconnect.app</li><li>Umbrella ND - Non-profit focused on neurodivergent advocacy: https://umbrellaopensdoors.org/</li></ul><p><br></p><h2><strong>Keywords</strong></h2><p><br></p><p>dear colleague, neurodivergence, advocacy, education, minority youth, parenting, school-to-prison pipeline, accommodations, giftedness, diversity, community</p><p><br></p><p>Intro and Outro music provided by byrdversion1 - \"Understand\" from the album Nevermore</p>","author_name":"Sheldon Gay"}
