Breonna Taylor is still not getting justice and y’all still being neutral? Are you ready to take a stand now? Or are we waiting for another murder, march, & innocent verdict? culturallyresponsiveleadership.com/neutrality/ Here’s 16 issues to fight for in our schools! #DismantleWSC
1) Race, racism, and anti-racism in the classroom. Discuss it.
2) Grading students during or after a pandemic. Abandon it.
3) Teaching Ethnic Studies and the stories of marginalized peoples. Teach it.
4) Racist school policies. Dismantle them.
5) Adults using deficit language to describe students of color. Interrupt it.
6) Standardized testing any other drill and kill assessments. Opt out.
7) Grading students based on their screen sharing. Refuse it.
8) Teaching to Eurocentric and racist standards. Stop it.
9) Offering AP, Honors, and any other eugenic-inspired and college board-controlled courses. End it.
10) Hate speech disguised as free speech. Outlaw it.
11) Police in schools. Expel them.
12) Funding for Under performing and historical marginalized schools. Support it and triple it.
13) School choice systems that divert funding from poor communities and from public schools. Terminate them.
14) Tracking students in schools and sorting kids between schools, especially full-on “these students are better than these students” schools. Blow that shit up.
15) Uniforms, bells, and walking silently in halls. Stop it.
16) Detentions, suspension, re-entries, calling kids ‘repeat offenders’, and other penal code language. Abolish it.
