December 3rd, 2024

Good afternoon, it is freezing out today. I love it and I hate it. Since I go to school in NYC, I literally have to walk everywhere and it is too cold for that. I am layering up with scarves and hats and stuff, but my nose doesn't ever get warm... Today marks 3 months since my bf and I got together and it feels good. Literally such a short time, but also long. I feel like I've known him forever, but I also feel like I just met him. I'm so happy though. Anyways, today I am having that RA meeting with my roommates.. in about an hour. I have pink hair dye in my hair right now and I'm waiting for it to settle. My hands are all pink now. This is my excuse to go buy myself winter gloves. I went to my acting class this morning and in my second class, I got to leave early. It was gorge. I just finished all of my work for that class. I just have to do some workshopping on other people's things, then I'm all good for the day. Today happens to be 5sos's 13th anniversary so happy anniversary 5sos.

Update: RA meeting when smoothly. Me and my roommate ended up doing all of the talking and it initially had nothing to do with us... I expressed how I am tired of people being loud in the dorm though and how we should do our own dishes. That all felt good to get out. I still wish we wouldn't have people over all the time, but I can't really say that because my boyfriend is there a lot. He is so quiet though and the people they have over are so loud. Anyways....

Love, Rona.

The fit today.

The head of New York City public schools was forced to apologize for linking a “Stop Gaza Genocide Toolkit” in a newsletter this month — sparking outrage in the Jewish community.

The Office of Student Pathways Newsletter, which is blasted out monthly to select teachers and parents across the nation’s largest public school system, included a bullet point titled “Guidelines for teaching about genocide” — which linked to a Google doc titled “STOP GAZA GENOCIDE TOOLKIT.”

The 17-page document contains radicalized messaging that encourages readers to “Stop arming Israel and free Palestine!”

The “toolkit” breaks down how to mobilize pro-Palestine campaigns on social media, how to boycott and encourage divestment from pro-Israel organizations and encourages readers to print out Palestine yard signs — among other calls to action.

Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos admitted to what she called a “troubling oversight” in a statement on Thursday night that condemned the toolkit as hateful and antisemitic.

“This language is hurtful to many in our Jewish community, and we deeply apologize,” Aviles-Ramos said in the statement posted to social media, which stopped short of addressing who was responsible for the email blast.

“Once leadership became aware of this link, we immediately ordered its removal and have already begun conducting a thorough investigation as to how this was added to @NYCschools communication,” the chancellor said.

The DOE also refused to comment on who was behind the email.

A version of the “toolkit” appears to have also been linked to in the October-November 2024 newsletter. The document, which has since been updated, called on readers to participate in “rage week” and “resist genocide” by mobilizing on the Sat. Oct. 5 “day of action” ahead of the anniversary of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel.

6School Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos apologized and said the district is investigating how the toolkit was added to the newsletter.

Some parents and teachers said it was a sign of deep-rooted antisemitism at the city Department of Education.

“It’s the systemic rot,” said Karen Feldman, an educator of over 26 years who resigned in November and co-founded the NYC Public School Alliance with teachers and parents to combat antisemitism and indoctrination at the DOE.

“Tons of teachers, parents and students are navigating these sites and coming across these very hateful problematic resources that are literally indoctrinating — filled with misleading information, propaganda and influencing our children’s minds. Maybe even their parents,” added Feldman, who said she has been investigating incidents like this since 2023.

Many applauded the chancellor’s quick response to the troubling toolkit — but most also echoed Feldman’s sentiment that this was part of an ongoing systemic issue in the school system.

Half fares and half-baked ideas

Things don't always have valid reasons for why they are.

Let's talk a little bit about one of my first lessons regarding the wacky ways in which government sometimes works. This lesson came from ninth grade while attending Brooklyn Technical High School.

It was my first experience in having to stand up for myself where I found rules to be unreasonable and didn't make any justifiable sense.

I was 14, awkward, dorky, and incredibly uncomfortable in my skin and unable to stand up for myself. A lot of it had to do with being told to accept authority and to not question those in power.

[3of3] When you decide to help schools with a #VirtualCareerDay during the school shut down, it looks a little something like this... . I still haven't officially launched @thekeleidoscope but, by word of mouth, we've taken on clients/partners for about 18 months now. Thanks to @inourbestinterestllc, 80% of our clients/partners are schools. We help schools with branding, marketing, events, guest speakers, engagement, and more. And honestly, at a time like now, when we're offering these services to schools for free, it feels even more gratifying. Thank you to all of my friends and family for supporting my vision but more importantly, for supporting our scholars and families during this time of need. . #KEL.EIDOSCOPE #CareerDay #Gang #KELEIDOSCOPEMULTIMEDIA #Schools #NYCSchools #NJSchools #CTSchools #BaltimoreSchools #MiamiSchools #RemoteLearning #GoogleClassroom #CoronaVirus #Covid19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_xHr0iFS-v/?igshid=ngsey0qgjse6
