How are you teaching your kids about racism in this moment?
Tabitha St. Bernard-Jacobs asks parents in The Romper “How are you educating your child so that they don’t end up with their knee on the neck of a black man begging for his life?”
White parents need to teach their kids to be actively anti-racist and they need to do it early and often, St. Bernard-Jacobs writes.
“If you aren’t teaching your kid to be anti-racist, you are teaching them to be racist,” St. Bernard-Jacobs writes.
St. Bernard-Jacobs offers a few ways that kids receive messages about anti-racism in their homes and some questions we need to be asking of ourselves. Read the article here.
We all have a responsibility to do more to end racism and reject silence.
