Then I also thought how we would implicitly critique EduCon and its most-followed attendees. I wasn’t scared. I just didn’t wanna have to be that guy. Ever. Obviously, some things have changed since, including the reincarnation of #educolor, an attempt at trying to unite K-12 educators of color and their allies under one roof to create a safe space to talk about these issues, but I also recognize that people follow me for the express purpose of discussing race in education. We didn’t even include Seattle wide receiver Richard Sherman, rapper Macklemore, Justin Beiber’s recent arrests, the critiques of me being on a list that’s mostly reserved for the province of white guys, though we made thinly veiled comments about Grant Wiggins’ apartheid comments … and all the ensuing comments supporting said comparison. Nor did we get to the Godwin’s Law corollary: Vilson’s Law, which states that you can’t inappropriately compare something to a racial set of policies like apartheid, slavery, or education. Alas.
