Critical Social Justice can be best understood as the fusion of critical theory and postmodern Theory for the purposes of achieving “Social Justice” through identity politics, identity must be central to all of the thought and activism of the Critical Social Justice project.

Excited to share our study on the impact of socio-emotional factors in helping African American boys cope with school-based racial discrimination. Our findings emphasize the importance of leveraging both internal and external supports to bolster resilience, offering valuable implications for interventions and future research. https://lnkd.in/e99nv9kz #Research #Education #RacialEquity #AdolescentDevelopment #Resilience #MentalHealth

CRT Summer School - Freedom Summer 2024: No U-Turn on Racial Justice From Jul 28 to Aug 02 *25% off Early Bird Discount until June 30 11:59pm EST* SUBJECTS to be COVERED in CRT SUMMER SCHOOL 2024 INCLUDE: *Historical context for today’s backlash to racial justice initiatives and why it matters. *How the “war on woke” is really a war on Black knowledge, history, and other marginalized communities. *How colorblind liberalism laid the groundwork for the current backlash by de-emphasizing the importance of race and racism in American life. *How those attacking CRT and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives ultimately seek to turn back the clock on a century of civil rights advances and represent a broader attack on public education and public institutions. *How attacks on racial equity are connected to the assault on LGBTQ+ rights and liberties, and women’s reproductive freedom. *Understanding the ultimate goal of the anti-woke movement, which is to destroy the prospect of multiracial democracy through its vision in Project 2025. *Why centering racial justice and antiracism is the key to building and maintaining strong progressive coalitions, as well as realizing a multiracial democracy. #racialjustice #CRT #antiracism

Language is vital in communicating with each other! Language is also how we create associations and understand one another. At Prevention Now, we are continuing to learn about how to use language that is empowering, honoring, and signifying. - How often do we unintentionally define someone by an experience? For example, the term "homeless youth" is often used when "homeless" is not who a person is, it is something they are experiencing. This is an important distinction! What are other examples? #PreventionNow #UnderstandingEachOther

Critical Social Justice — the ideology that leads one to become “woke” is a pathology of the radical left and is code for identity politics brainwashing. “The mission of Critical Social Justice, to use its right name, is to “awaken” …( brainwash)…people to the so-called “realities” of systemic oppression in society, as it defines it.” In the past the boggie man was the decadent bourgeois West. Since Post modernism blighted the West, the enemy has been painted as a fictionalised white, male patriarchy oppressing everyone else through social power constructs including language. “The goal of “anti-racist,” “culturally aware,” and “social justice” approaches to education is to awaken a critical consciousness in our children so that they will grow up not to think critically but to think in terms of Critical Theories” and if white, to hate themselves and be ashamed of their societies. This #Wokery challenges even science and maths. “Rather than focusing on the mechanics of mathematics, students will be taught to focus on the ways they can explore topics like racism and oppression through mathematics, or leaning on math as a foil that facilitates discussions on important topics—like “who it benefits” to focus on getting right answers in mathematics.” These fanatics see everything in the West through the lens of a mythological #WhitePrivilege which they, like their Marxist comrades, seek to tear down and reconstruct… starting in schools and universities then by the recasting of language and discourse in our institutions and places of business via fifth column #DEI operatives.

Social justice can be found in all subject matter. It can be found in science and in math. Look at the different groups of people who have been marginalized and oppressed in every facet of education. Have that as a talking point for your students to research, to come up and create ideas of problem solving. As educators we want our students to be problem solvers and to get to the crux of that, we need to teach them ways of social justice. www.jebehedmunds.com #JebehCulturalConsulting #InclusiveEducation #PositiveChange #MulticulturalEducation #DiverseEducation #Socialjustice #Equality #Equity #Justice

Today, we honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of all Indigenous Peoples; and we are called to reflect on the vast inequities that they experience in America. Indigenous communities have endured centuries of forced removal from their lands and cultural erasure. The long-term impact of policies such as forced assimilation through boarding schools, broken treaties, and land dispossession has led to cycles of poverty, substance abuse, mental health challenges, and marginalization, all of which are linked to higher rates of incarceration. Aligning with exalt’s work, we see daunting similarities: Native Peoples are incarcerated at DOUBLE the national average and more than QUADRUPLE the rate of their white peers. Let’s honor the wisdom, strength, and resilience that Indigenous Peoples have carried for generations. At exalt, we believe that every young person, regardless of background, has the right to determine their future, free from systemic injustice. By addressing these inequities head-on, we are not only reshaping individual lives but also dismantling the harmful structures that have long perpetuated the over-incarceration of underrepresented communities. As we reflect on Indigenous Peoples' Day, let us commit to amplifying their voices, learning from their lived experiences, and working toward a future where justice and opportunity are equally accessible to all. Together, we will empower the next generation to embrace their own potential and write a new narrative—one defined by education, self-determination, and hope. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #HonorNativeLand #IndigenousRights #SocialJustice #YouthEmpowerment #EndMassIncarceration #EquityInJustice #IndigenousVoices #CriminalJusticeReform #CulturalResilience #ProfessionalDevelopment #SocialImpact #DiversityAndInclusion
