#DisruptTexts

A movement to rebuild the literary canon using an antibias, antiracist critical literacy lens.

[#DisruptTexts @DisruptTexts]

More than a year and a half ago, our team came together and asked ourselves what could be helpful for Ts as they develop a more intentional, culturally responsive, and antiracist literacy practice. And based on our work w/ kids, we arrived at these core principles. #DisruptTexts

Hot off the press: Using a Queer of Color Critique to work toward a Black LGBTQ+ inclusive K-12 curriculum. This article and I have been on a journey! I’m excited it’s finally out in the world. Happy Reading 😍. Link: https://t.co/7hkJb3ujXF

@heathered_love Glad our resources offer you support. There's also a video where one of our co-founders @triciaebarvia was in conversation with Min Jin Lee and Kylie Reid about Gatsby through @ncte

Wondering if there's a recording of that you can watch (& pieces you can share w kids)

How can educators incorporate diverse books into their curriculum? How can parents be supportive allies?

For #BannedBooksWeek, visit the #EdCast archives with @TchKimPossible of @DisruptTexts to embrace diverse books in libraries and schools.

What questions do you have for us? #DisruptTexts

[@lorenagerman on bluesky 💗 @nenagerman]

Racism requires for its perpetrators to separate the human from the body, or dehumanization. It has internal effects & the thing is, it's killing us all. It is murdering many of us and rotting White America.

[Dr. Sealy-Jefferson @Dr_S_Jefferson]

I want to address white people who built successful careers off of "studying" Black, Latinx, and/or Indigenous communities: have you offered space/training opportunities/mentoring/tangible resources to members of the community whose suffering you benefit from? If not, why not?

What suggestions can you share? #DisruptTexts

NOW AVAILABLE from @PenguinClassics and @DisruptTexts: the “What is a ‘Classic?’“ educator’s guide written by @triciaebarvia and @juliaerin80. The guide explores the implications when a text is bestowed the label of “classic.” Check it out here: https://t.co/IphPWUqEz5
