Responding to Hate in Your School

How and why does antisemitism persist in communities today? What can we do as educators to confront racism and other forms of hatred in our schools and communities? During this webinar, we discuss the challenges schools face when confronting the persistence of racism and antisemitism, provide resources to help you respond to hatred in your schools, and increase your ability to facilitate respectful classroom dialogue.

One way to deepen our understanding of voting rights is to consider the experiences of people who have been disenfranchised over the course of our nation’s history and into the present.

The January 6th investigation has deepened widespread concerns about rising threats of fascism, racism, white nationalism, and other phenomena that undermine justice for all. But in analyses that focus primarily on the role of white nationalism fomented within media echo chambers, for example, commentators have overlooked what may be a more pervasive parallel phenomenon: the widespread crisis of faith in U.S. media and institutions at large.

The January 6 insurrection remains important to understand and discuss, as well as the larger questions it raises about the state of U.S. democracy. A recent poll found that 52% of young people between 18 and 29 believe that either U.S. democracy is "in trouble" or "failed," while only 7% agree that it is "healthy," further highlighting the need to teach students about democratic institutions.
