** Join Educators Across the Country in the #USvsHate Challenge
------------------------------------------------------------
Our #USvsHate project is a nationwide anti-bias initiative to amplify student voice and push back against messages of bias, bigotry and hate. Educators select and teach anti-hate lessons, and students create their own inclusive messages to share across school communities. We’ll select artwork to feature on our social media accounts, and selected pieces will be professionally reproduced and distributed as free posters to all participating classrooms. The #USvsHate challenge closes on
March 20. Submit your students’ work here ([link removed]) —and get a free set of One World posters.

The Mind Online for ways to frame that learning.

** Teach This: Explaining Presidential Primaries
------------------------------------------------------------
As the U.S. presidential primary election season continues, your students may have questions about the primary process and the reasoning behind it. Our latest “ ([link removed]) Teach This ([link removed]) ” ([link removed]) article ([link removed]) offers educators guidance for using a video with students that can open a conversation about representation and power; help students better understand the political procedures that shape our democracy; and push them to consider their role in maintaining or changing these processes.

** Speaking Up Against Racism Around the New Coronavirus
------------------------------------------------------------
The spread of the new coronavirus has become racialized, so it’s critical that educators understand the historical context ([link removed]) and confront racist tropes and xenophobia from students and colleagues. Educators must continuously disrupt and address issues of hate and bias, which often find their way into schools.

“Johnson skillfully navigated the lonely and often hostile ivory tower, and the result was a successful orbital flight by a U.S. astronaut during the Cold War-era space race. Her efforts paved the way for countless other black female scholars.” — The Washington Post ([link removed])

“We don’t want our kids to learn to change themselves anytime they’re teased or feel like they don’t fit in. We want them to stand up to that kind of stigma.” — The New York Times ([link removed])
