“When I don’t know myself, whiteness fills in the blanks.” — @ShimizuNguyen reminding me to “identify the assimilationist in me” & fight the internalized model minority myth to do right by the kiddos @EdAntiRacism #edantiracism#antiracist#AbolitionistTeaching
If you’re concerned about the impact of remote learning on students, but never had an issue w/HW, archaic grading practices, standardized testing, zero tolerance policies, recess being taken away, white-washed curriculum, problematic standards, etc., students aren’t your focus.
@Klind2013 @nenagerman Thank you! I participated in the July wksp & spoke with educators from across the country. Very encouraging to see the needed work being done. This week, I've been inspired by the @EdAntiRacism conference based on @BLoveSoulPower 's "We Want to do More than Survive".😍
what they say: “wow, everybody is so sensitive nowadays.“
what they mean: “wow, you are now asking me to understand and respect boundaries and it makes me uncomfortable.“
@Klind2013 I’ve been re-educating myself and giving a lot of thought into antiracist English teaching in my classroom. It has been a few years since I graduated from your program and I wish I could’ve been in that zoom today!
