Often conversations about anti-racist education focus narrowly on invidual “implicit biases” and “diversity and inclusion” in curriuclum. After reading Simmon’s article, I think that the anti-racist approach to edcuation  is more multi-dimensional. It means moving beyond representation of diverse perspectives toward a critical analysis of the ways those perspectives are situated within broader contexts of racism, White supremacy, and the historical struggle for power. It also means considering how personal relationships can perpetuate or counteract potentially harmful disciplinary, pedagogical, and administrative practices.

Kendi says, "I define racist, and even anti-racist, as not a fixed category, as not necessarily who you are, but what you are doing in the moment." --> someone can be racist regarding certain topics and anti-racist regarding others; Kendi brings up the idea of people as very complex; using the terms racist and anti-racist to describe actions/views rather than to label people; need to address racist actions
