The 'Racism-Free Schools Act' aims to protect students and teachers of color from acts of racism that often go unreported. wqad.com/article/news/e…
Commentary by @CHSD230 English teacher and @TeachPlusIL Senior Policy Fellow @ThyerLisa in @DailySouthtown about the urgency of the @RacismFreeSchls campaign and legislation #RacismFreeSchools bit.ly/3OE6iCG
NEW: coverage, this time via Quenice Williams at @WMBDNews and featuring @TeachPlusIL Policy Fellow @UnitedBand304, about @RacismFreeSchls campaign with a broad coalition of advocates & partner orgs pushing to make the effort a reality. #RacismFreeSchools bit.ly/3GhGDMQ
The time for @RacismFreeSchls is long overdue. Join @TeachPlusIL in leading the charge to make it happen!
Some are pushing for the state to require schools to have policies on the books that define what racist incidents are and how school districts will address them, @__lyndsayjones reports. wglt.org/local-news/202… #BloNo #RacismFreeSchools
Please take the survey below! An additional training video to watch to help make schools a safer space for all students and educators seems like a very small ask to me. #RacismFreeSchools
Our bill sponsor for the #RacismFreeSchools Act is concerned that training will add too great a burden for teachers. In response, we're conducting a flash poll that closes Sunday to learn how teachers feel about it. Take action & complete the survey here: survey.alchemer.com/s3/6782114/Tea…
