Resources for Educators
Talking with Kids about Stereotypes, Prejudice and Injustice
Teachers and parents have a responsibility to address these issues with students in the class and at home, but it’s not always easy. Trusted adults must confront these issues with young people and discuss them openly and honestly. You also have an obligation to those who may have been harmed by the content to address it directly. And it’s not enough to just say it’s wrong – a conversation needs to take place. These pages offer concrete advice and resources for having these discussions.
