Importance Of Teaching Children About Race And Racism When kids don't learn about race and racism, they might start thinking in biased ways and believing stereotypes. This can cause division and unfair treatment as they get older. However, if we teach children about different races and cultures, it helps them feel more connected to others. They learn to care about people who are different from them and appreciate the beautiful diversity in our world. Visit Us: https://lnkd.in/egNY-vk #RaceAndRacism #Racism #MeaningfulBeginnings

There are two journeys you take in understanding oppression. 1) A view of society. How our society is built on oppression and subjugation. This is the 'easier' of the two. How society affects the marginalized. 2) Your role in an oppressive society We all can enforce whiteness and unlearning where we sit on that spectrum of oppression is a much deeper and harder conversation. How I affect marginalization.

Ibram X. Kendi has really got me thinking. The parallels drawn between historical ideologies used to justify oppression and the current discourse around racial equity are eye-opening. Reflecting on this, it underscores the importance of our educational system. Just as past narratives were manipulated to preserve injustice, our responsibility in the public school system is to ensure a comprehensive and truthful teaching of history. By acknowledging the complexities of our past, we empower the next generation to critically assess societal narratives. As we enter #BlackHistoryMonth, let's amplify efforts to integrate diverse perspectives into the curriculum, fostering an environment where students can engage with the historical context of systemic racism. Education becomes a powerful tool in dismantling misconceptions and promoting a more inclusive future. Let's continue the conversation and collectively contribute to a curriculum that instills empathy, understanding, and a commitment to dismantling systemic inequities. 📖🌐 #EducationForEquity #BlackHistoryMonth2024 #InclusiveEducation #DEI ❤️🖤💚

To preserve slavery, enslavers claimed slavery was “positively good” and that abolitionists were making up the terror and exploitation of slavery. To preserve Jim Crow, segregationists claimed public accommodations and institutions were “separate but equal” and that civil rights activists were making up all the racial inequity and injustice. To preserve racism today, the ideological descendants of enslavers and segregationists are claiming that the U.S. is a “colorblind” society and antiracist intellectuals and activists are making up all the racial inequity and injustice. As they strive to preserve racism, we must strive to recognize and combat these repackaged ideas by deepening our understanding of history. Making this #BlackHistoryMonth all the more critical. 👊🏿
