Are you teaching about women’s rights through an intersectional lens? Not just on #WomensEqualityDay but all year long.

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

It's #WomensEqualityDay, a day that commemorates the anniversary of the 19th Amendment’s ratification. The history of women’s fight for voting rights is often whitewashed and oversimplified. We must teach it through an intersectional lens.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Before wondering if your curriculum is antiracist, ask yourself if YOU are. Even the greatest lesson will fall flat if the person teaching it hasn’t done the internal work first. Antiracism isn’t just a lesson, it’s a lifestyle.

Do your students know who #BayardRustin is and the integral role he played in fighting for equal rights? (Do you know who he is?) If not, first ask yourself why. We encourage you to go learn and teach about his life and impact. (And not just during Black History Month…)

Young students often first encounter slavery and enslaved people through children's books. How can we ensure those encounters do not sugarcoat oppression or erase stories of resilience and resistance? @EbonyTeach provides critical guidance in this episode.

“We mention slavery in the early grades. ... And we mention and introduce enslaved folk. [But] we don’t talk about it—or them—in a way that would help our students understand the seriousness of the institution.”

“A watershed moment.” We applaud the students, educators and groups who pushed for this more truthful, inclusive history education that includes Asian American people, cultures and contributions. The work continues.

”The reality is that kids are talking about race, systems of oppression and our country’s ugly past anyway... students are absorbing these conversations and want to know more. ... I believe that my students are smart and mature enough to handle the truth.”
