Yeah, I’m really concerned about a principal not seeing the link between the Harlem Renaissance and an English. Put aside the racism for a while, but there are real educational, Betsy Devos, type problems if she only sees the HR as a “social studies” topic.

My head is hurting trying to wrap it around the concept of an English teacher being told she has no reason to cover The Harlem Renaissance. Yeah, that makes sense.

White people can not say “nigger”. Period. That is the rule. It is one of the few things black people asked white people to do.

If you are not a believer in the black Christian Church then your view of BentleyGate may be different than someone who is a believer. If you believe in Judaism, Buddhism, the African gods and do not not subscribe to the gods the White man has forced upon us or are an atheist, then you may see things differently than…

My feelings on this are strong as hell, so don’t take this the wrong way: Fuck that pastor.

How about just have people read Frederick Douglass’s Narrative? 7th grade is probably about the right time for it.

Interesting point. When slavery and racism are treated solely as issues of the past, many white people are prone to think that those topics are over and have no effects today. When people say, “That was all so long ago in the past! Why does it matter now?” I usually say...

I’m a social studies teacher in a predominantly black school in Michigan, and as a white male, this is an issue I really struggle with.

Not only does this let you skip bill/cost confusion, it also speeds up ordering time since there’s a smaller amount of options for people to chose from.

If you can…

She is a total idiot but probably not racist.

Danny Glover has always lent his time, money and celebrity to institutions and causes around the world in the attempts to bring perspective and awareness into improving the lives of the most-often marginalized corners of humanity represented by black and brown people. Cedric is apparently a good dude who wants to…

King might be right, but he is definitely being rude.

I always thought that there is a subset of people who go into teaching because they are authoritarians who like demanding respect from people who are subordinate to them.

As a history teacher in high school, I think this kid’s letter is the visual representation of awesome. At nine he is coherent, asking legitimate questions and pointing out problems. The real problem is the teacher’s dismissive comment that didn’t actually say anything. The teacher is disappointed? Maybe they should…

Ok.

King Johnson, your journal entry is spot-on. Good job.

Because black women experience both sexism and racism in unique ways that contribute to their devaluation?

Aftermath of the neighborhood key party.

Rand Paul just wants government so small that it fits inside your uterus.
