As an educator I will strive to dismantle oppression by teaching tolerance, making sure my students are visible in the curriculum, and caring for others. Itโs my responsibility because โriots do not develop out of thin air. โ

Please donโt tell me this is too political. People are being murdered. All curriculumโintentional or notโis political. Good teaching is responsive to what is happening in our studentsโ lives. Teaching Materials โ Black Lives Matter At School https://t.co/21ypt1Il0k

We can all #StandUp4HumanRights and help build a world free of discrimination, hate & violence.
The opposite of racist is not not racist. That's about silence. The opposite is anti-racist. So stand up, speak out and call out the racist acts you hear, you see, and maybe you commit. Be brave. And may we all be better. - Kylene Beers #BlackLivesMatter
