LETTER TO THE EDITOR
As a member of the Michelle Fine Workshop Series planning group, I am writing to make a few corrections to last Thursday’s article. They are as follows:
The workshops are geared toward white teachers of all genders.
The planning group and facilitation team are open to all students of all genders and races.
The workshops will not give teachers tools to prevent racist behavior. Rather, they will give teachers tools to recognize and dismantle racism as it comes up in themselves, their classrooms and in the school system.
Gearing the workshops towards white teachers can challenge them to examine their own racism and to start building a community of teachers with whom they can reflect on their roles in racism.
We are focusing on the role of white teachers with the primary focus not on their comfort, but on allowing these teachers to push themselves to confront racism both personally and institutionally.
Please contact us with any more questions you may have.
