Friend,

As you may know, the SPLC's Learning for Justice project
(formerly Teaching Tolerance) has long worked for justice in schools,
providing free resources for creating equitable, inclusive classrooms
and school communities.

Today, Learning for Justice released a new short video designed to
offer an age-appropriate way to talk with elementary children about
what countering bias looks like in practice.

An original children's story from author, educator and LFJ
awardee Elizabeth Kleinrock, Min Jee's Lunch was published in
the fall of 2020 in response to increased reports of racism around the
coronavirus.

You can watch and share Min Jee's Lunch here. Accompanying
reader questions can be found here.

Min Jee's Lunch

In the story, a classmate announces that Min Jee's Korean lunch
is "how everyone got sick." Min Jee and her friends must
decide how to respond.

We know young people face decisions like this every day. The
organization Stop AAPI Hate recently announced that reports of hate
incidents targeting Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have
increased dramatically this spring-including in schools.

We developed this short video, beautifully illustrated by Janice Chang
and read by Kleinrock, to help start conversations about ways to push
back against hate and speak up for what is right. We hope you'll
share Min Jee's Lunch with the educators, caregivers and
children in your life.

Sincerely,

The Southern Poverty Law Center
