Save PDX Schools

Community guidelines

Our primary informational hub and outreach starter kits can be found at savepdxschools.org. We also host an active and fast-growing WhatsApp chat. As the group continues to grow, we have implemented the following community guidelines, to which all members should adhere.

Debate ideas, not people.

Strong opinions and disagreement are welcome. Personal attacks, harassment, trolling and deliberate provocation are not.

No hate, threats or violence.

Hate speech, threats, calls for violence, or encouragement of harassment will result in immediate removal.

Be careful with accusations.

Don’t present unverified or potentially libelous allegations about identifiable people as fact. If you make a serious claim, provide a credible source.

Keep it factual.

Please distinguish facts from rumors, speculation and opinion. Correct misinformation when you can, and cite sources for important claims.

Stay focused on solutions.

We especially want ideas, data and concrete proposals that could help PPS address its challenges without closing schools en masse.

Moderation matters.

Violations may result in a warning and, if repeated, removal. Severe violations — including threats, hate speech, incitement or serious harassment — may result in immediate removal from the WhatsApp group.

Be passionate. Be respectful. Bring solutions. We’re in this together. ❤️
