Zohran's on Bluesky - yay 🎉🎉 The hopescrolling continues 🤗

This was an excellent session last night, highlighting how Muslims have been present & influential in these lands for 100s of years. Fab resources shared too. We need more of this included in our lessons and awareness among educators to help tackle the rise of #Islamophobic head on.

At a time when more and more youngsters are being influenced by the #FarRight, this session is vital for all teachers. Join us 👇🏽

Disturbing rise in far right extremist views/behaviours in our young people. Needs to be tackled quickly and head on. 37% of referrals are for children under 15 years old. This dangerous/racist ideology is ruining the lives of these children & their communities. news.stv.tv/scotland/rec...

So important. What's the big deal about getting someone's name right? What's in a name? Everything. Get it right.

Mic drop 🎤 I've learnt a new word - hopescrolling. When you can't stop watching videos of #ZohranMamdani 🥰

It's actually very good to see a renewed focus on #Citizenship in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, I know my friends in @acitizenshipt.bsky.social ate a big part of this. We need this in Scotland too and I hope something that will indeed come out of the curriculum improvement cycle.

An early morning message I had to send to BBC Radio Scotland today 🙄🙄

🙄🙄🙄 Why am I not surprised??

Democrat Hashmi, an Indian American, won the lieutenant governor’s race in the US state of Virginia.

Wearing red today to highlight the plight of the thousands of teachers without permanent jobs in Scotland. A huge loss of talent especially at a time when learner's needs are growing. @eisunion.bsky.social @teachers4perm.bsky.social

FINALLY, some good news to wake up to 🎉🎉 Yes it's historic, he's the youngest to be elected in over 100 years, he's the first Muslim & South Asian, & he's pro Palestine 🇵🇸 BUT most importantly he symbolises decency over criminality, good over evil and hope over despair. Mubarak #Zohran. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Disgraceful cowardice from @renfrewshire.gov.uk pandering to the racists. #Racists moan oh they don't jnow the langauge & now want to stop them learning the language! It's never been about that. Most people I've seen in schools learning English are often mums. Shame. news.stv.tv/west-central...

Utterly depraved, to weaponise prayer in this way. What's wrong with these guys?? 😒

Have you completed your @eisunion.bsky.social #ULA ballot. We have ❎ 😊 #FairPay

An interesting read.I don't agree with everything this teacher has said in terms of some of his opinions but i think we need more diaries like this to be published. His first point is the most important one-denial on local and national level of the problem existing. www.scotsman.com/education/te...

The horrific images/stories coming out of #Sudan remind me of what we saw in the Rwanda #genocide. Again media isn't focused on it.Humans can be such monsters.How have we today allowed multiple genocides to take place?Future generations will curse us and rightly so. #HelpSudan 🇸🇩 #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Dear mainstream media, I don't care where Andrew now lives. I don't care if his daughters will still be princesses or not. I don't care. Move on.

#HappyHalloween to all those who celebrate. I'm so glad my kids are older now and I no longer need to walk the cold streets collecting sweets 😀. I've done my shift!

Scottish education is underpinned by a system of presumed mainstream inclusion, and almost all children with additional needs are educated entirely in mainstream classes. But does the reality for pupils and teachers match the lofty rhetoric? www.heraldscotland.com/news/2555492...

Fed up of the rise of #racism, I wrote a few thoughts 💭 👇🏽

Exclusive: Survey by @sstatradeunion.bsky.social finds ‘alarming’ numbers of non-specialists taking subject classes, with secondary schools also heavily relying on primary teachers amid ‘deepening crisis’ of staff shortages www.tes.com/magazine/new...

An @sqanews.bsky.social report suggests that many pupils are reluctant to use AI in case they are accused of cheating, and that they want clearer advice from school www.tes.com/magazine/new... @tesmagazine.bsky.social

ALL us South Asians call our elders aunty or uncle (followed by name). We never use just the first name of an elder. That's how respect for our elders is deeply ingrained in our culture. Get over it. Learn from it.

It's a week today since I lost my dear friend.Completely senseless loss of someone so young,fit & healthy.My last plea if you have a few £s to donate using the QR code to help fund maternity services for women in Pakistan, a cause close to her heart as she dedicated her life as a gynecologist. 🙏🏼💔

Awful anticipation and dread for people across the Caribbean and especially in Jamaica. Really hope the storm does not prove to be as bad as is predicted. Praying for everyone's safety. 🙏🏼

When you moan that ethnic minorities “won’t integrate” and then complain that TV adverts show integrated, mixed-race families, you’re not defending British culture — you’re just proving Schrödinger’s racism: minorities are wrong whether they fit in or not.

Disgusted by cowards who have targeted Glasgow Central Mosque. This is a dignified response. #FascistsOut
