We wanted to start off our morning by sharing some highlights from a @TorontoStar article by @nkeung ! #education

[Kelly Turnbull @Coelasquid]

If you are a white parent who thinks your kids aren’t “ready” to learn about racism, consider that their non-white friends have no say in the matter of when they’re “ready” to experience it. Or when your kids are “ready” to inflict it in ignorance because they weren’t educated.

[Mo Netz 🫎 @netzmo]

And this is ESPECIALLY why we need kidlit about marginalized characters: because BIPOC kids, LGBTQ+ kids, disabled and neurodivergent kids, and kids at the intersections of all those identities need to see that it's not just everybody else who can slay the monsters.

[Danny THEE Haunted 👻 Himbo 💪🏼 @Br00TaLDaN]

If you see “BIPOC Lounge” and you’re white and your first thought is:
omg I CANT ENTER, ITS EXCLUDING ME, I’M SCARED TO EVEN TAKE ONE STEP…

Then that’s on you.
You need to unpack that.

A dedicated space for marginalized groups of people SHOULD NOT illicit a response like that.
