“As educators, we have the responsibility to stand against any kind of racism and take action early from our classroom. We need to change the curriculum. Is the opportunity for schools to include topics such as race and ethnicity. It is time to teach about racial violence and civic education. We need to find innovative ways to support students and those most vulnerable that are many times left alone on the front lines of these battles. We have to create spaces for open discussion about inequality, social issues, and dismantle racial violence in our past and in our present. We need to read the tough books and articles, the ones that challenge our self-serving beliefs.”
