Día 3: Enseñar a la próxima generación

Because of the racism embedded in school curriculum, teachers have moved to update their lesson plans with an anti-racist lens. These resources discuss how teachers have made necessary changes, how students are responding to this richer view of history, and why these conversations are so important to have with children and young people.

Yesterday, we learned about the racial equity resolution Spokane Public Schools passed in 2020. The resolution establishes policies to reduce the disproportionate number of arrests, suspensions, and expulsions on students of color. It also states that the school district will develop a new safety plan to eliminate the ability of any district employee to arrest students.

Adapting a quote from author, speaker, and self-proclaimed internet yeller, Ijeoma Oluo, the resolution says, “We realize that structural racism is built into the bones of our schools, as well as every structure in society; we have to build anti-racism into the bones in order to increase student empowerment, belonging, value, and hope for the future.”
