Activist Teachers Brag About Injecting Race, ‘Equity’ Lessons In Elementary Classrooms
Several King County, Washington, activist teachers revealed to Crosscut how they inject race and “equity” lessons into their elementary classrooms.
Kent teacher Joanne Barber took advantage of violent Black Lives Matter protests last year “to teach more about race” in her second grade class.
“I am willing to be that teacher that has those hard conversations,” she said. “I would be doing a huge disservice to my students if I didn’t give them information that they could see themselves in.”
She told Crosscut learning that “racial history” is “just as important as reading or math.”
