Attn #Faculty:
Do NOT create assignments that FORCE #Black students to relive this trauma.
Black students must be allowed the space, flexibility, & support to process ON THEIR OWN TERMS.
#BlackLivesMattter must NOT be a mandatory path to success in your classroom. Now or Ever.

Bottom Line: Before #courseprep goes horribly wrong: Police killings can not be required assignments for Black students. #AcademicTwitter It’s not #currentevents; it’s trauma inducing.
To be clear, I’m not saying these topics should not be included in the classroom.
They absolutely should.
I’m saying it is our responsibility as faculty to integrate them in a way that respects and protects Black students.
