------------------------------------------------------------
In the wake of Black Lives Matter protests, educators and schools across the nation are planning anti-racist work for the first time. How can you ensure this work is not just a box for your school to check? In our latest article ([link removed]) , educator Liz Kleinrock offers concrete questions educators should be asking as schools embark on anti-racist education work.

Protest Is Patriotic
This year, the Fourth of July arrives amid protests against racism and police brutality toward Black Americans and a focus on the role white supremacy has always played in the United States. As these resources ([link removed]) show, this holiday and its symbols are tied to a long tradition of protest and demands that our nation make good on its promise of freedom for all.

** Teaching About Race, Racism and Police Violence
------------------------------------------------------------
As the calls for justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain and many others continue, we must remember our nation’s historic and ongoing injustices can’t be ignored. These resources ([link removed]) can help spur much-needed discussion around implicit bias and systemic racism and help you talk with students while prioritizing their well-being and agency.

“[Teachers] have to agree to what an anti-racist framework stands for, and that's challenging and dismantling racist policies and practices and curricula and inequities that exist and permeate in our schools.” — ABC News ([link removed])

“Our students represent the future of our Tribal Nations. ... It is truly unconscionable to deny them the resources they need to continue their education amidst a public health crisis.” — The Hechinger Report ([link removed])

“Schools are the latest institutions facing a reckoning over racism — a conversation led by high school students and recent graduates who say their educations on race stopped with To Kill a Mockingbird and the civil rights movement, and failed to explain the systemic racism underlying modern unrest.” — The Philadelphia Inquirer ([link removed])
