I actually have a little bit of a problem with it. It says if one side is the oppressor they will not encourage students to see their side.

I disagree with that. I want students to understand the goals and perspectives of both sides, and think of a way those goals might be met without oppressing others.

It depends on what "consider" is defined as. In my opinion, consider is different from understanding.

Its important to understand both sides but to consider for example that Nazis or White Slaveholders had legitimate reasons for oppressing people-- that's definitely not a thing for me.

The definition of consider is as follows:
To think carefully about (something), typically before making a decision.
"each application is considered on its merits"

Again the keywords here are "before making a decision".

Do you present topics such as American civil rights as "Do you think black people had a right to fight against discrimination or do you think White people were correct in trying to maintain segregation?"

In this logic, I disagree. I will not talk about consider the side of the oppressor. Will we discuss and deconstruct, yes, but I will not consider that there is merit/logic/rationale to their oppression.



Anyone following?

To consider does not mean to legitimize.

CHS- missed the point completely!

@Michigan, I get the point. I also think it’s important to give students the opportunity to dissect and consider the motivations of the other side.

I’m struggling with an issue with a student right now. I teach in a suburban school outside of NYC that has a very large majority of white students. One of my Black students was recently involved in a biased incident with another student in which he received racist social media messages and racist spoken words from the other student. This was a kid that my Black student thought was his friend. He’s heartbroken, and so am I. I want to know how I can best support my student.

To the Antiracist Educators, when we have trolls who do not understand what being an Antiracist means, would you like me to allow them to post even though they are clearly posting here with no positive intent?

I could block them. They can easily go post somewhere else.

What do you think we should do?

I’ll leave this question up for one week.
