info_outline #57 Celebrate Black CultureDiverse Learning in Schools
I don’t know exactly what to say about Black Lives Matter. I want to have the "right" thing to say, but I don’t know what that is. I am not black and so I don’t know what it feels like to be black. But I still feel deeply about treating everyone equally and celebrating the beauty in all people regardless of the color of their skin. What is do know and believe is that an educator's response to this should be out of love and respect.
