Classroom Resources and Tips To Address Anti-Asian Discrimination

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Shortly after the quarantine in 2020, a stranger approached my sister on the streets of Portland. She was out for a run when a man stepped out of his doorway and told her not to go to an auto shop because it was owned by Chinese people. My half-Vietnamese sister then peered out from under her baseball cap, and he paused and said, "Wait? Are you from here? Are you American?" It was clear that anything to do with Asian was triggering for him, and she worried for her safety. It was, in a word, terrifying.

Yesterday's spa shootings in Atlanta were a tragic and painful reminder that anti-Asian sentiment in this country has become both more pervasive and violent. As teachers, we have a responsibility to specifically address anti-AAPI racism with our students as part of our overall anti-bias work. To help you navigate these challenging conversations, we've put together a list of tips and resources for addressing anti-Asian discrimination.

Respond to anti-Asian bullying in the classroom

My sister isn't alone. In the past year, Asian students have had classmates say they don't want to sit next to them, so they don't get the coronavirus. Or they've been cornered on the playground and blamed for everyone having to wear masks. As teachers, we must interrupt this type of behavior and language every time it occurs. Ignoring it gives it your tacit approval.

Teach students to be upstanders

We also need to empower our students to speak up when they witness hate and bias at school. We love this Speak Up at School guide from Learning for Justice, for example:

Dig into the history of anti-Asian racism

Anti-AAPI racism isn't anything new in this country. From "yellow peril" to the "model minority," we need to educate ourselves about the history of anti-AAPI racism in this country. Do your homework:

Understand the coronavirus connection

While it's not new, we need to recognize that anti-Asian sentiment has certainly grown with the COVID-19 pandemic. But how was the neutral disease racialized? A well-written lesson plan is a good place to start exploring this question:

Feature AAPI voices and stories

While we absolutely want to avoid content that perpetuates stereotypes, we must also be careful that our narratives about AAPI people don't all center around oppression and injustice. We must also highlight Asian American individuals for their historic and cultural contributions:

Harness the healing power of kindness

It's important, especially with students, that we also embrace messages of hope. The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center created a beautiful activity around the theme "Kindness Heals." It includes decorating a face mask, writing a letter about the future, and identifying a support network.

Cultivate a welcoming environment

Prevention is key here. First, do the work to make your classroom a place where differences are respected and celebrated. Encourage your admin to adopt an enumerated anti-bullying policy and/or issue a statement in support of AAPI students and families. And make sure your school leaders see this:

Anthropomorphic graphic novel. The 1st book (which includes 3 stories) shows Blacksad fighting a hate group similar to the KKK. Definitely for high school students.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Private investigator John Blacksad is up to his feline ears in mystery, digging into the backstories behind murders, child abductions, and nuclear secrets. Guarnido's sumptuously painted pages and rich cinematic style bring the world of 1950s America to vibrant life, with Canales weaving in fascinating tales of conspiracy, racial tension, and the "red scare" Communist witch hunts of the time. Guarnido reinvents anthropomorphism in these pages, and industry colleagues no less than Will Eisner, Jim Steranko, and Tim Sale are fans!

Whether John Blacksad is falling for dangerous women or getting beaten to within an inch of his life, his stories are, simply put, unforgettable.

* Dark Horse is very proud to present the first three Blacksad stories in a beautiful hardcover collection, completely relettered to the artist's specifications and with the latest album, Red Soul, in English for the very first time.

* This internationally acclaimed series has won nearly a dozen prestigious awards &mdash; including the Angoulême Comics Festival prizes for Best Series and Best Artwork-and is a three-time Eisner Award nominee.

CHECKLIST: 8 STEPS TO CREATING A DIVERSE BOOK COLLECTION

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's not easy to create an inclusive book collection. Whether you're a librarian creating a collection for an entire community, a teacher creating a collection for your classroom, or a parent creating a collection for your children, choosing books that reflect the diversity of human experience can be a challenging job.

That's because creating a diverse book collection is about more than just making sure X, Y, and Z are represented. It's not a matter of ticking off check boxes or making sure quotas are filled. For those committed to doing it right, building a diverse book collection requires contemplation, research, and awareness. But the rewards are great: a truly diverse collection of books can turn children into lifelong readers and promote empathy, understanding, and self-confidence.

To make things a little easier, we've created a checklist to help.
Here are eight steps to all-inclusive reading:

1. Does your book list or collection include books with characters of color? LGBTQ? Differently-abled?

2. Does it include books with a main character of color? LGBTQ? Differently-abled?

3. Does it include books written or illustrated by a person of color? Of different nationalities, religions or sexual preference?

4. Are there any books with a person of color on the cover? Do the characters on the book covers accurately reflect the characters in the book?

5. Think about your student population. Does your list provide a mix of "mirror" books and "window" books for your students-books in which they can see themselves reflected and books in which they can learn about others?

6. Think about the subject matter of your diverse books. Do all your books featuring black characters focus on slavery? Do all your books about Latino characters focus on immigration? Are all your LGBTQ books coming out stories?

7. Do you have any books featuring diverse characters that are not primarily about race or prejudice?

8. Consider your classic books, both fiction and nonfiction. Do any contain hurtful racial or ethnic stereotypes , or images (e.g. Little House on the Prairie or The Indian in the Cupboard)? If so, how will you address those stereotypes with students? Have you included another book that provides a more accurate depiction of the same culture?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, here are some resources that can help:
Where can I find great diverse children's books? A resource list Beyond Good Intentions: Selecting Multicultural Literature Seven Ways to Explore Race in the Classroom How inclusive is my classroom library? A Toolkit Disability in KidLit I'm Here, I'm Queer, What the Hell Do I Read? American Indians in Children's Literature Diversity in YA
What questions would you add? What resources would you recommend? As always, leave 'em in the comments!

This resource guide was created in direct response to the multiple requests made by educators, parents and students. Like Marley Dias, so many of you have asked for books with black girls as the main characters. And because of you, we have received thousands of books. Here we are sharing with you the first 700 book titles. We have not yet catalogued all the books. As a small organization with only two full-time staff, our resources are limited. Beginning in April, each month we will provide you with updates of new book titles.

This resource includes words of welcome from Marley Dias, Creator of the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign. It also includes comments from Dr. Lauren Wells, Chief Education Officer, City of Newark who offers us tips on how we can foster and promote reading and literacy among our children.

As the President and Co-Founder of GrassROOTS Community Foundation, I have added a few words and call to action to the guide. My charge to parents and caregivers is a simple one: listen to your children, encourage them as well as promote their reading and literacy skills. Reading is a pathway to freedom and liberty. As caregivers it is our responsibility to develop the imagination of children so that they can dream, create and structure opportunities for freedom and equity.

We have reviewed the titles and descriptions of books to ensure that they fit the criterion of having a black girl as the main characters. We have also catalogued the books by reading level. This time-consuming task would not be possible without your financial donation to hire some interim part-time staff. We could not do it without all of you who donated, our volunteers and the librarians from West Orange Public Library.

Each month we will update the list and continue to serve as an information repository for Black Girl Books.

If you know of a black girl book, not listed here, please send us a copy so we can add it to our collection. We would like to see this list grow. Our address is:

GrassROOTS Community Foundation
59 Main Street
Suite 323
West Orange, NJ 07052

Financial donations are always welcomed. All donations are tax-deductible.

Thank you.

Welcome to the #1000blackgirlbooks Resource Guide. I started this campaign because I wanted to read more books where black girls are the main characters. With your help we have collected over 11,000 books; many of them are have the same title, but we do have lots of unique ones as well. This guide includes 1000 of those books and more is coming.

Love,

Marley Dias
Founder
#1000BlackGirlBooks

Sadly, in today's society we often lack the imagination to deal with some of the most deeply rooted social issues. Family and work obligations as well as our biases can stunt our imaginations; however, as adults it is our charge to foster the imagination of our youth. Marley Dias has an active sociological imagination. She imagined a world where black girls are the main, not minor, characters in children's books. She thought she was dealing with a personal matter, but she quickly learned from the outpouring response from the public that her personal problem is in fact an engrained social issue. Children's literature in the United States and abroad is homogeneous and exclusionary. Black girls are underrepresented and in many cases missing. Girls of color are almost completely absent relative to the majority culture.

As caregivers of children we must nurture our children's imaginations and equip them with the resources so they can be emboldened to act. The GrassROOTS Community Foundation through Super Camp enhances girls' sociological imagination and teaches them confidence grounded in the knowledge of history and self-hood so that they feel confident enough to feel like they can create change in their communities. Each year GrassROOTS encourages girls to develop a social action project. We choose the words social and action carefully. We want our children to understand themselves as social actors, connected to the world. In addition, we teach our girls that to achieve justice they must ACT. The #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign is Marley's 2015 social action project. As Marley's mom and the President of GrassROOTS Community Foundation, I have learned first hand what can happen when we foster and promote children's love of reading, educate them about their community, and their desire to create social change as well as fan the flames of their sociological imaginations.

A love of reading is the most important legacy we can offer to our children and our students. Reading opens windows to new ideas, peoples, places, and experiences. Reading also provides mirrors for students to see themselves and their lives reflected in the characters they meet in books. Reading builds vocabulary and background knowledge, empowering children with the tools needed to express themselves and think about the world around them. Nurturing joyful reading in children primes their brains for lifelong learning and develops important social emotional skills like stamina, reflection, and empathy. As we build readers, we must make reading pleasurable and help children understand that reading is a skill that builds over time.

Here are a few tips for parents and educators to create environments that invite children to confidently embrace and fall in love with stories and books.

Tips for parents:

Model reading. Read, read, read to your child, with your child, or in front your child every day.

Immerse your child in books. Transform your entire home into a reading zone by placing books in every room.

Affirm your child's culture, language, and race by choosing books and stories with characters, places, and experiences that reflect their background.

Awaken your child to new ideas, places, people, or experiences in books and stories by asking them questions and always answering the question they have.

Empower your child by allowing them to choose books to read, whether based on what interests them or on book covers and titles.

Arm your child by always leaving home with books. When your child gets older ask them if they have a book before leaving for school, the doctor, or a long ride.

Cultivate your child's use of language and words. Talk with your child about what is happening in their lives and the world around them.

Build your child's ability to make connections. When you watch television or movies, make connections to characters or ideas in books you have read together.

Expand your child's reading beyond fiction. Children have great curiosity about events taking place in the world, plants, animals, and people. It's never too early to expose them to historical fiction or non-fiction books.

Advocate for curricula, partnerships, books, and resources for classrooms and schools that are culturally relevant and responsive.

Tips for educators:

Model reading. Read, read, read to your students, with your students, or in front your students every day.

Immerse school culture in talk about books. Book talks over the intercom, book clubs, social media chats, and school-wide read alouds are a few ways to do this.

Affirm your students' culture, language, and race by integrating books and stories with characters, places, and experiences that reflect their backgrounds into the curriculum.

Awaken students as participants in their own learning by having them create reading goals for themselves, for example, minutes of reading, chapters read, and reading new genres.

Empower students by allowing them to choose books based on what interests them or on book covers and titles.

Arm your students with the power of their own language and stories by providing them with multiple ways to make personal connections to the texts they read.

Cultivate independent reading by creating comfortable reading spaces throughout schools. Classrooms, cafeterias, libraries, and cozy nooks in hallways are all fair game.

Build classroom libraries of interesting, appropriate, and relevant fiction and non-fiction texts.

Expand your reading beyond fiction. Students have great curiosity about events taking place in the world, plants, animals, and people. Use historical fiction or non-fiction books as tools to capture this interest.

Advocate for curricula, partnerships, books, and resources for classrooms and schools that are culturally relevant and responsive.

AUTHORS AND LIBRARIANS ON WHY SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES NEED LGBTQ+ BOOKS

AUTHORS AND LIBRARIANS ON WHY SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES NEED LGBTQ+ BOOKS

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In the wake of a report from EW on the ways middle schools are censoring or outright prohibiting books featuring gay, transgender, and queer characters, authors and librarians are speaking out about the importance of placing LGBTQ+ books in schools and libraries.

The August article details schools' alleged use of "soft censorship" to divert time away from visits from authors who have written such books. Author K.A. Holt told EW that a school visit had been cancelled, with students needing to study given as the reason. However, a student later reached out to Holt on social media to suggest that they believed the author was being discriminated against.

Some authors and educators argue that censoring LGBTQ+ books and their authors does a disservice to the students.

"It's important to speak to youth about gender and sexuality because not speaking about these identities causes a sense of shame," Kacen Callender told Book Riot in an email. The author of Hurricane Child and the forthcoming King and the Dragonflies says their decision to write queer characters is deliberate.

"Writing Black, queer characters [shows] that we're all just as important as the white, straight, cis people that I only ever saw and sometimes still only see in media around me," the author wrote.

Author and former librarian Jen Petro-Roy, who identifies as straight, tells of a childhood friend who struggled to come out while growing up in their small, religious hometown. Her middle grade novel, P.S. I Miss You, was among those EW identified as facing censorship in middle schools.

She says of middle grade readers discovering and questioning their sexuality: "It does happen 'that early.' [...] Open and honest conversations, in my opinion, can open doors, create acceptance, and save lives."

Earlier this year, the Journal of Adolescent Health published a study that found 24% of suicides between the ages of 12 and 14 were LGBT. The study shows LGBTQ+ youth are more predisposed to suicide than their heterosexual and cisgender peers.

Positive, realistic portrayals of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer characters can help curb these statistics, Callender suggests.

"Young queer and trans people have always been at a higher risk for suicide, and as a survivor myself, I can speak to how important it is to make young people of all identities know that they are accepted," Callender says. "It truly is a life and death situation. Schools and libraries, at bare minimum, must offer queer books to young readers, so that they can know they aren't alone."

Ingrid Conley-Abrams, a librarian who conducts trainings for schools on how to serve their LGBTQIA populations, agrees with the notion that representation is important:

"Books and an inclusive LGBTQIA curriculum help children understand gender and sexuality in a safer space, where, hopefully, informed adults can help them navigate these concepts. Left to their own devices, students and young people (queer or otherwise) may interact with information that can be incorrect or even toxic."

"As teachers and librarians, we have a mission to teach all students and serve all families," Conley-Abrams added.

Conley-Abrams points to a study from GLSEN that students receive little exposure to LGBTQIA people and topics, but that queer students who do receive such exposure tend to have higher attendance and GPAs, and a heightened sense of safety in the classroom.

Several other authors reached out to Book Riot to express their belief that students deserve access to LGBTQ+ books, including Barbara Dee, Ashley Herring Blake, Shannon Hitchcock, and Kyle Lukoff. The censorship and banning reported on by EW are more episodes in a series of schools and libraries attempting to remove LGBTQ+ books from their shelves.

"Books with LGBTQ protagonists are a starting point, an easy first step, and a simple tool to help young people feel seen and validated," concludes Conley-Abrams. "A school library devoid of queer characters and narratives is not a library. "

Claudia Rankine's bold recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seemingly slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV-everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive. Our addressability is tied to the state of our belonging, Rankine argues, as are our assumptions and expectations of citizenship. In essay, image, and poetry, Citizen is a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our contemporary, often named "post-race" society.

Reviews
"[Citizen] is an especially vital book for this moment in time. . . . The realization at the end of this book sits heavily upon the heart: 'This is how you are a citizen, ' Rankine writes. 'Come on. Let it go. Move on.' As Rankine's brilliant, disabusing work, always aware of its ironies, reminds us, 'moving on' is not synonymous with 'leaving behind.'" -The New Yorker

"Citizen is audacious in form. But what is perhaps especially striking about the book is that it has achieved something that eludes much modern poetry: urgency." -The New York Times

"So groundbreaking is Rankine's work that it's almost impossible to describe; suffice it to say that this is a poem that reads like an essay (or the other way around) - a piece of writing that invents a new form for itself, incorporating pictures, slogans, social commentary and the most piercing and affecting revelations to evoke the intersection of inner and outer life." -Los Angeles Times

"Rankine brilliantly pushes poetry's forms to disarm readers and circumvent our carefully constructed defense mechanisms against the hint of possibly being racist ourselves. . . . Citizen throws a Molotov cocktail at the notion that reduction of injustice is the same as freedom." -The New York Times Book Review

"Moving, stunning, and formally innovative-in short, a masterwork." -Salon

"Part protest lyric, part art book, Citizen is a dazzling expression of the painful double consciousness of black life in America." -The Washington Post

"The book of the year is Claudia Rankine's Citizen. It would have been the book of any year.... Citizen asks us to change the way we look; we have to believe that that might lead to changing the way we live." -The New Yorker's Page-Turner

"[Citizen] is one of the best books I've ever wanted not to read. . . . Its genius . . . resides in that capacity to make so many different versions of American life proper to itself, to instruct us in the depth and variety of our participation in a narrative of race that we recount and reinstate, even when we speak as though it weren't there." -Slate

"Marrying prose, poetry, and the visual image, Citizen investigates the ways in which racism pervades daily American social and cultural life, rendering certain of its citizens politically invisible. Rankine's formally inventive book challenges our notion that citizenship is only a legal designation that the state determines by expanding that definition to include a larger understanding of civic belonging and identity, built out of cross-racial empathy, communal responsibility, and a deeply shared commitment to equality." -National Book Award Judges' Citation

"Citizen is an anatomy of American racism in the new millennium, a slender, musical book that arrives with the force of a thunderclap. . . . This work is careful, loving, restorative witness is itself an act of resistance, a proof of endurance." -Bookforum

"Accounts of racially charged interactions, insidious and flagrant, transpiring in private and in the public eye, distill the immediate emotional intensity of individual experience with tremendous precision while allowing ambiguity, ambivalence, contradiction, and exhaustion to remain in all their fraught complexity. . . . Once again Rankine inspires sympathy and outrage, but most of all a will to take a deep look at ourselves and our society." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A prism of personal perspectives illuminates [Rankine's] meditations on race. . . . Powerful." -Kirkus Reviews

"Claudia Rankine's Citizen comes at you like doom. It's the best note in the wrong song that is America. Its various realities-'mistaken' identity, social racism, the whole fabric of urban and suburban life-are almost too much to bear, but you bear them, because it's the truth. Citizen is Rankine's Spoon River Anthology, an epic as large and frightening and beautiful as the country and various emotional states that produced it." -Hilton Als

Teaching a Global Middle Ages - International Center of Medieval Art

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This section emphasizes regions beyond those traditionally at the center of medieval art surveys (e.g. British Isles, France, German lands, imperial Byzantine center), and is intended to guide instructors as they conceptualize courses that consider the Middle Ages in global terms. Some regions, notably south and east Asia, are still to be added and/or expanded.

The first name bits:

What Jason knows is that there are a lot - A LOT - of people, young, old, and in-between, who hate reading. He knows that many of these book haters are boys. He knows that many of these book-hating boys, don't actually hate books, they hate boredom. If you are reading this, and you happen to be one of these boys, first of all, you're reading this Jason's master plan is already working (muahahahahahaha) and second of all, know that Jason totally feels you. He REALLY does. Because even though he's a writer, he hates reading boring books too.

So here's what he plans to do: NOT WRITE BORING BOOKS.

That's it, and that's all.

Now, for the last name bits:

Jason Reynolds is an award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author. Jason's many books include Miles Morales: Spider Man, the Track series (Ghost, Patina, Sunny, and Lu), Long Way Down, which received a Newbery Honor, a Printz Honor, and a Correta Scott King Honor, and Look Both Ways, which was a National Book Award Finalist. His latest book, Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, is a collaboration with Ibram X. Kendi. Recently named the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, Jason has appeared on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and CBS This Morning. He is on faculty at Lesley University, for the Writing for Young People MFA Program and lives in Washington, DC. You can find his ramblings at JasonWritesBooks.com.
