All Students Need Anti-racism Education

https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/all-students-need-antiracism-education
action steps: 

1. re-evaluate curriculum: "students coming from positions of power need to see and understand the power and agency of those who have been historically disenfranchised, particularly since society frequently tells them otherwise."

2. help students understand privilege and power: "We need to teach students with privilege not to be “saviors” for historically disenfranchised communities, but rather to listen to, value and stand in kinship with them so we can work together toward justice."

3. interrogate how we have gained institutional power: "If you don’t have any Black students, why is that? If your school primarily serves folks with high socioeconomic status, what policies and events led to that?"

action steps:
1. re-evaluate and re-write ELA unit/social studies unit.

2. critical literacy. 

3. find allies.
