@ASCAtweets The organization providing the national model for school counselors across America. American School Counselor Association (ASCA) "Position Statement" -
School counselors work toward cultural competence and engage in anti-racist actions by advocating to change racist policies, procedures, practices, guidelines and laws contributing to inequities in students’ academic, career and social/emotional
development.
development.
"(ASCA) Rationale" - The US education system contributes to maintaining systems of oppression through racist policies, practices and guidelines that negatively affect all students but especially students from racially diverse backgrounds, including Black and Indigenous students,
who historically have been distinctly affected by white supremacy in the United States. By supporting anti-racist policies through their actions and expressed anti-racist ideas, school counselors embrace their roles as social justice advocates and change agents who
examine and dismantle systems of oppression (Kendi, 2019). The ASCA Ethical Standards call for school counselors to be systemic change agents who embrace their roles as advocates, leaders and collaborators by providing equitable educational access and success.
All educators, especially school counselors, have an obligation to work toward mitigating and/or ending racism and bias (ASCA, 2020) in an effort to lessen the impact of systemic racism on student development."
