The coronavirus pandemic requires precaution and care. But racist rhetoric and xenophobic policies around disease have a long history, and as educators it's our job to interrupt them. https://t.co/r2czVYFtHI

Thankful to see these schools continuing to care for the kids who need to eat.. This makes my heart smile so much.. NO KID goes to bed Hungry! That should be the motto of every American!

As coronavirus dominates the headlines, Asian Americans across the country have reported being harassed and verbally assaulted in public.

It ties into a long history in the U.S., in which xenophobia has often been camouflaged as concern for public health.

Bigotry & xenophobia against people of Asian descent is unacceptable. Let me be clear: coronavirus does not discriminate & we must unite right now to fight its spread. https://t.co/Pi5D2hAawq

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

No, Mr. McCarthy, nationality has no bearing on your likelihood of contracting or spreading the coronavirus.

Misinformation like that leads to discrimination against Asian-Americans.

That kind of destructive xenophobia has no place in our society, or our public health response.
