How Black parents can help inoculate their children against racist or derogatory comments they might receive at school, by DrPamelaBrown
Protests of George Floyd’s murder prompted thousands of Black alumni from elite public and private schools to post experiences on Instagram.
Parents should help their children question the veracity and intent of destructive and false predictions, maintaining their faith in themselves. It is now impossible to dismiss these student accounts as rare and unusual because so many alumni have made their voices heard. Thousands of current students and graduates have been internalizing these events, many of which will remain with them into adulthood. Students of color should not have to choose between rigor and right treatment.
I can’t be sure which comments or acts hurt more, but the ones with which I take greatest issue are those uttered by teachers and administrators—because they should know better. They have more credibility in the community, and students look up to them. Their words have the power to sway or devastate these young people.
