What Do I Do When My Child’s School Says to Leave Anti-Racism at Home?
I recently received a question from a parent in our First Name Basis fam that boiled down to: what do I do when my child’s school says to leave anti-racism at home?
I have a hunch that many of you are in a similar situation, or know of a school in your area who would say the same thing. Tune in to learn a few action steps that you can take to partner with your child’s school and create an environment where children are embraced, respected, and protected.
This episode is part of our “Ask Jasmine” series. “Ask Jasmine” is a mini podcast segment that we send out to our Fam Favorites email list. Periodically, I choose one of your questions to answer and share the response with everyone on the list!

Ally Elementary and Ally Elementary Jr
Ally Elementary and Ally Elementary Jr give parents and teachers a practical, interactive way to implement the anti-racist strategies that we discuss on the First Name Basis Podcast.
These programs allow parents and teachers to work together with their children to create a culture of anti-racism in their home or classroom. We use hands-on activities to teach our children about everything from the untold story of how race was created to how they can disrupt racism in their everyday lives. I am so excited to join you as you make a meaningful transformation and improve your communities through anti-racist action.
