Just being an advocate and taking action is really important. As adults, we are role models to these children and they mirror what they see regardless if they understand the extent of it. Many people argue that oppression and social issues can't be brought up with children but it definitely could. At one point in the video, they mention how kindergarteners and 1st graders are already aware of what "bad people" are and we need to learn how to take their thoughts away from that sort of mindset, it won't be easy.

Look around at the injustices that are happening, ask why? What can we do differently? Am I part of the problem? How can I do better?

Teaching about the oppressive systems is important but also highlighting the joy and love that the these oppressed communities still hold. From Dr. Bettina Love, learn from how Black Queer women love, lead peers in movements, and build community.

Society and education are forever growing, as educators and students, etc. we must continue to be mindful, open to new ideas, and give respect and kindness to others. Through the bad, the ugly, and the uncomfortable conversations, it is important to have them in order to grow.

A way I can create a difference is by beginning to end stereotypes and creating the acceptance of others in my classroom. Work from a place where you can take control of and build outward onto it.

Even if you're not going into teaching, if you are aware of these problems and oppressions and not doing anything about it whether its in your home, community, work, you are part of the problem. being aware and being held accountable is the most important and make sure you are educating yourself.

One takeaway from this video is that there is a way to spread kindness and give respect to those around us. Even when not teaching or being taught, there is always room for positivity no matter where you are. This helps you to grow as a person and overall treating people with kindness goes a long way.

There may be aspects of students or people in general that would make you turn away from them but oftentimes, that comes from a lack of proper understanding and not empathizing with their situation. So before completely rejecting someone, give them some chances.

There will always be room for growth. No one reaches "peak liberation" or "best ally" its about recognizing personal biases and shortcomings, to grow together. Using privileges to help raise up others

I think to just remember that children need love, need acceptance, and need to be given grace as well. I appreciated when they talked about how kids know what they should do when another student breaks a class agreement, but it is also good to show students that we also need to show forgiveness, grace, and empathy for others (which reinforces the idea that no one is a throwaway person).

“Dismantling oppressive establishments” is not as far fetched as it may sound. We are all capable of doing what is right, as individuals living in a progressive society we must take responsibility in protecting those who cannot always protect themselves. We can’t always be a shield, so it’s important to instill knowledge in these individuals and give them a sword and empower them. If you are in a position of power, and that doesn’t always mean you’re someone in government. If you are someone in a position of privilege, then you must recognize that and not use it to your advantage, but to bring someone up there with you.
