, linking to Richards’ presentation."We recognize that any time we engage topics such as race and equity, we may experience a variety of emotions. This is a normal part of the learning and growing process. As a school community we want to continue the dialogue with our students and understand this is just the beginning."
The"Fistbook for Kids" says anti-racism"isn’t a spectator sport" but requires"being loud, uncomfortable, confrontational and visible to ensure change is made." "If someone doesn’t believe that people should be treated equally based on the color of their skin, then they are the problem. Parents need to stop making excuses for that behavior if they truly believe in anti-racism," the book says."Who in your family has racist beliefs? Do you think you can change their ways? What is your strategy for dealing with them?"
The original"Fistbook" also claims that"if the police don’t murder citizens without penalty, then the riots/looting don’t happen," and that"your feelings about Colin Kaepernick serve as a great barometer of how you would feel about Dr. King" during the Civil Rights Movement.
