@DrJ_757 A5: Books allow us to explore a different perspective and can provide an opportunity to discuss for those who are uncomfortable. There are many relevant young adult books that can jump start conversations and lead to self reflection. #CAREChatEDU

@Shameka_Gerald You know I’ve waited years to have this conversation!

@DrJ_757 Q2: grading practices, curriculum, dress code, funding #CAREchatEDU

[Janelle Spitz @jmspitz1]

@DrJ_757 Q1: non racist: doesn’t stand up to behaviors that discriminate. Doesn’t call out racist behaviors even when they know the behaviors are wrong. Anti racist: purposeful in standing against discriminating behaviors #CAREchatEDU
