“The burden [on teachers of color] is both the weight of experiencing this virus in ways that their white colleagues may not, then also having to worry about that for their own students.” https://t.co/oC32ZkdSmw

One way to bolster queer colleagues of color is to read up on the issues that affect them. We have a list of resources available to help.

Talking with your child about the art they create can encourage their creativity and support their language development! As you make art together, ask questions like, “What did you draw?” and “Why did you use those colors?” #TalkingIsTeaching

In "PBS KIDS Talk About: Race, Racism & Identity," real families have honest conversations about important topics. After watching, share a story with your kids about a time when you had to stand up for yourself because you were being treated unfairly. https://t.co/VgQWexlKIF
