All Students Need Anti-racist Education
Schools across the nation are signaling a commitment to the all-important work of anti-racism. Predominately white schools or institutions should be no exception. Doing the work make look different, but educator Christina Torres says there are clear aims that primarily white and otherwise privileged institutions must work toward in the fight against racism.

** Bibi, Complete Sentences and the Stories Students Need
------------------------------------------------------------
Our new classroom film,
Bibi, is a story told from the perspective of Ben, a gay Latinx man, about his complicated relationship with his father and his home. In his latest article, TT Senior Writer Cory Collins writes that the film’s power resides in disrupting a simple coming-out narrative ([link removed]) , instead confronting complicated themes of intersectionality, privilege communication, reconciliation and reclamation.

“We will never forget the kindness and warmth that Lewis showed us, and the lessons he taught us. He showed us that age doesn't matter, and that anyone can be heard if they stand strong for what's right.” — Teen Vogue ([link removed])

“What if we made space to acknowledge the fear, anxiety, frustration and confusion students, staff, and families are feeling? What if we listened? What if we made space to acknowledge the anger and demands of students?” — Chicago Unheard ([link removed])

“Teachers keep hearing that this is the 'new normal.' But is this 'normal' equitable? Does it make our students feel loved during a pandemic, when some are harmed so much more than others?” — Rethinking Schools ([link removed])
