Dear John,
The last 10 years haven’t always been pretty. The nation has continued to wrestle with systemic racism, white supremacy, antisemitism and Islamophobia, xenophobia, anti-LGBTQ ideology and gender inequality. Of course, these issues also manifest in schools, a microcosm of the oppressive structures in the world.
That’s why Teaching Tolerance, along with other social justice education organizations, ramped up efforts in the last decade to advocate for safer and more welcoming school environments—and to help educators do the same.
As we enter a new decade, we’re reflecting on the challenges and successes of the last decade and planning our work toward a more just and equitable future.
Take a look at the last 10 years at Teaching Tolerance. As we look ahead to 2020 and beyond, we commit to continue helping teachers and schools educate children and youth to be active participants in our diverse democracy.
Thanks for all you do for students.
Teaching Tolerance
