Watch the video
Talking about racism in education can be uncomfortable — but silence sustains inequality.
This guide invites **parents, educators, and community members** to take a closer look at how racism operates within our schools — not just in personal interactions, but in the systems, structures, and “invisible lessons” that shape students’ daily experiences.
It’s written for **new parent advocates** — those who are beginning to explore how systemic racism affects Black children and families, and who want to learn how to engage schools with confidence, understanding, and purpose.
The article explores:
📘 How racism shows up in everyday school life
📘 The hidden and null curriculum that shape belonging
📘 The principles of Critical Race Theory and Racial Realism
📘 The emotional labour of Black parents advocating for their children
📘 Practical steps educators can take to build anti-racist classrooms
Change begins when we choose to see, listen, and act — together.
