Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #20: Teacher Warrior

I am joining Elisabeth from The Dirigible Plum in writing a Haiku-A-Day during the month of December. 

Haiku-A-Day December #20: Teacher Warrior

This post, from talented writer, teacher, and staff developer Kate Roberts, showed up in my Twitter feed recently: 

I was moved at the bravery of this teacher, championed by Kate Roberts. As as cisgender white female working class teacher from the Midwest, I continue to discover how privileged I am and how much needs to change in order to create a more just society. I still have so much to learn in order to be an ally and supportive to all students, friends, and colleagues. 

Unfortunately, I know too many individuals - students, friends, and colleagues - who have not felt comfortable or safe in sharing who they really are, and this makes me feel so disheartened. Bravo to this teacher who came out to her students. I hope that she continues to feel support and love by her school and community. 

Thank you to Kate for sharing it. 

My Haiku for today celebrates this bold teacher:

Teacher warrior:

Twitter ripples bestow your

bravery, in truth.
