From voter ID laws to voter-roll purges, gerrymandering to poll closures to the deadly in-person voting conditions during a pandemic, the right to vote is under attack and the stakes are high. It is critical that students learn about the fight for voting rights, past and present.

I can UNDERSTAND pessimism, but I don't BELIEVE in it. It's not simply a matter of faith, but of historical EVIDENCE. Not overwhelming evidence, just enough to give HOPE, because for hope we don't need certainty, only POSSIBILITY.

The following resources promote effective teaching about antisemitism and the Holocaust.

This lesson focuses on the history of antisemitism and its role in the Holocaust to better understand how prejudice and hate speech can contribute to violence, mass atrocity, and genocide. Learning about the origins of hatred and prejudice encourages students to think critically about antisemitism today.

By focusing on the history and meaning of the swastika, the lesson provides a model for teachers to use when examining the origins of symbols, terms, and ideology from Nazi Germany and Holocaust-era fascist movements that students are seeing in contemporary American culture, promoting critical historical thinking and analysis.

Racism fueled Nazi ideology and politics. To critically analyze actions taken by Nazi Germany and its collaborators requires an understanding of the concept of racism in general and Nazi racial antisemitism in particular.

This lesson is a case study examining Nazi Germany and the United States during the 1930s, at a time when racism and eugenics were enshrined in law and practice. Students will examine the national and historical contexts in which racism manifested in the two countries, and explore how the pseudoscience of eugenics as well as concerns about "racial purity" found its way into the laws of the United States and Nazi Germany. Teachers can request physical printed Timeline Cards from the Museum.

Although different in many ways, antisemitism in Nazi Germany during the 1930s and anti-Black racism in Jim Crow-era America deeply affected communities in these countries. While individual experiences and context are unique and it is important to avoid comparisons of suffering, looking at these two places in the same historical period raises critical questions about the impact of antisemitism and racism in the past and present.

These guides are designed to facilitate student discussion and learning about fighting prejudice, responding to genocide, religion and identity, and other topics relevant today. The lessons use the Museum's Voices on Antisemitism podcast to illustrate the existence and broad impact of modern-day antisemitism.

If Anti-bias grant is funded, there will be plenty of funds to continue the training started with the ADL to train staff to facilitate groups and to do both group and whole staff trainings.  ADL is already familiar with our schools. We could also continue the work started with Gender Spectrum. Status of grant funds will be shared in December/January. Grant would also eventually include funds to purchase curricula for the scholars.

If interested, Ashley McGuire of the University of San Diego Center for Restorative Justice is a K-12 specialist and will work within our anti-bias grant funding budget (if funded) to train approx. 10 staff members to facilitate community/restorative circles to heal old rifts and biases; is also willing to attend August retreat and help those 10 put their training into action with the whole staff. Several anti-bias trainers have already shared that the healing within the staff has to occur before they can fully integrate more global anti-bias training. Contact Aviva for more info
