Imagine being a child sitting in class while this happens. You have no idea why or what’s happening. Maybe your parents are undocumented, imagine how that would feel? Our discomfort in seeing this and not knowing is a fraction of that fear:(
I live on the border. I teach. Of COURSE I understand. But while posting videos like this is effective, documenting the source gives it credibility. I wanted to repost it, but I can’t until I know the source of the video.
Thank you for all you do for our kids! Apparently it was in Houston Texas and it’s called a classroom sweep for a threat. Has it ever happened in one of your classrooms?
I feel like calling it a hoax is an attempt to make it sound fake- I know that’s not your words- it was a real situation but fortunately the call was about a made up threat- it doesn’t diminish the trauma our kids live with.
I know this is hard to watch- I was shocked when I saw it too. Just thinking that this happens most days somewhere in our country is insane. This was in Heights High school in Houston TX - it’s called a classroom sweep.

The kids are understandably terrified, but this isn’t an ICE raid.
