I feel like admin at my school did a pretty good job of addressing it first with the teachers and other staff, and then a student led equity team was made. They meet every couple of weeks and have open discussions with admin about their feelings about race and how different races are treated at school

They are and the teachers have even put together an equity team to discuss the staff’s role in what the kids are talking about

People become defensive and assert that they're not racist.

Hello everyone! What kind of schools are you all working in?

A coworker I share the hall with asked for a sub next week so she could go to her cousins funeral, since they were very close. Admin denied the request because it isn’t immediate family, even though another teacher in our grade is taking four weeks off in April to go on a cruise. Is there anything else she can do?
