Anti-Racist Education at Home and in the Classroom

We want our children to embrace anti-racist education both at school and at home, but what does that actually look like? 

We’re talking about anti-racism in the classroom for the second week in a row because it’s such an important topic to be thinking about right NOW. It might be a little early to be in full-on “back-to-school mode,” but it’s not too early to be contacting school administrators and teachers to let them know you’re committed to helping create an anti-racist culture for your kiddos.

In this episode I interview Alexandria Scott — founder and editor-in-chief of Ditto Kids Magazine, an anti-racist magazine for kiddos — about everyday anti-racism in the home and in the classroom. Alex is a dear friend of mine, and she’s a mom and professional who knows her stuff when it comes to anti-racism.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How to incorporate anti-racism into our everyday interactions with our kiddos.
• How parents and teachers can partner in teaching anti-racism.
• Concrete steps for talking to your children’s teacher about creating an anti-racist and inclusive environment.

Listen in on your favorite podcasting app, but also RUN over to Ditto Kids to get your hands on this important resource. Alex announced recently that she is taking a break from making magazines and is in the process of selling out her inventory. So hurry on over to get Ditto Kids into your home and classrooms.
