What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

 http://www.booksforlittles.com/silence-is-violence/ 

This choice about what to tell our kids and when – is a privilege.
Choosing not to discuss hard topics is a privilege.
Remaining silent is an act of supremacy.
Do the work – every two weeks, read one book.
Understand your economic privilege Understand your male privilege.
Understand your white privilege.
Understand your non-disabled privilege.
Understand your hetero-normative privilege.
Understand your body size privilege.
Understand your freedom from religious persecution privilege.
Understand your colonist privilege.
Understand your local-born citizenship privilege.
Understand your language fluency privilege.
Seriously just one book every two weeks.
