Those darn pesky facts again.

Here are changes we can make to ensure we are breaking down racist beliefs and systems of white supremacy in our own classrooms:
1. Educate ourselves about anti-racism work.
We can’t do this work well with students if we don’t understand it ourselves. We must acknowledge that we have all been shaped by a system built on inequality and racism—one that consistently bombards us with stereotypical images of certain cultures and excludes voices from different backgrounds. Understanding racism and its roots, questioning our own privilege and biases, and slowly dismantling those systems and beliefs internally and in our schools is a life-long process.
2. Reflect on the voices we're sharing.
We can build empathy by listening to and studying other people’s stories. Unfortunately, there is very little diversity and inclusion in the stories many of us share in our classrooms. We need to reflect on whose voices we give power to and how we create a more inclusive space with the texts we use.
3. Don’t be afraid to discuss current events—and ask for help, too. Our classrooms cannot cocoon our students from the real world. We can begin talking through not only the recent violence in our country, but broader instances of systemic oppression related to white supremacy, anti-immigration sentiment, racism, and LGBTQ discrimination.
Reflect!
One word that exemplifies all That is wrong in education.
The left is driving all of this. The promotion of homosexuality and “gender” theory in the schools is a very bad thing.
Here’s a suggestion: Stick to the Three Rs
You can stop imposing your fears on young children who aren't even your own.
You can go back to teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic with imparting a political agenda.
This will give the children entrusted to your care a safe space to learn without fear.
If you're a good teacher, you'll inspire them with learning and they won't give any thought to 'racism' 'white supremacy', and 'hate'.
Teachers used to do that and we had far fewer incidents of acting out violence.
A good idea but impossible to implement when the entire US education system is overwhelmed with people who are obsessed with race.
Only speciously, and mostly by the propaganda mill known as the (m)ass media.
And hate crimes have been on the rise nationwide for three consecutive years
Coinciding almost directly with the rise of the anti-Trump movement ...
This growing hatred seeps into our classrooms.
Honey, your anti-conservative hatred has been in your classroom for decades. It "seeped" in under the guise of "tolerance" and "multiculturalism" and "political correctness."
What can I do to help my students feel safe and ensure that the next generation no longer operates from a place of hatred and fear?
Try doing your job -- teaching -- instead of trite moralizing.
we can do anti-racist work.
Start by refusing to teach the lie of "white privilege." And explain to your students that "social justice" is actually socialIST, and anything but justice. And that most of the problems in ethnic minority communities are brought on by the members of those communities themselves.
It’s easy to decry the shooters as “crazy.”
... because they are. And it's just as easy to call everything you don't like "racist."
What is needed, is antiprogressive everything
Progressives are more dangerous enemies of Aemrica than Russia or China or Iran
The Squad and the 2o candidates are extremely dangerous and need not be
I wouldn’t shed a tear of all these SJW’s out to destroy our Society ended up hanging from Lampposts.
I feel bad thinking that, but I know they feel the same about us.
Trouble is, if they could get away with it they wouldn’t hesitate. We at least have Morality ingrained in our Psyche.
And they don’t see the conflict between the SEL “charter” and the listed steps to achieve it.
My Torres must not be aware of the gang wars between Blacks and Browns. Somehow I doubt that education is going to fix that. But she is aiming to send Whites to re-education camps, a favorite solution for Leftists since the days of Stalin.
Instead of re-education for Whites, why not invest in teaching everyone how to read and write English? Talk about a revolution!
Racists are people who are obsessed with race, make everything about race, and call some groups of people “racist” for the mere crime of existing.
Sound like anybody you know, Christina?
The anti-racists need education? And you call this news?
How long would a teacher last who wanted to talk about the hatred expressed in “knockout game”?
Those darn pesky facts again.
bombards us with stereotypical images
There is nothing more stereotypical that identity groups.
No need to read beyond that.
