Right now, the current events, if it's not COVID-19, it's systemic racism. It's white supremacy. If those words, if those key terms aren't being said aloud, regardless of if it's a social studies classroom or a math classroom, that should be a red flag.” - Kevin Dua</p><p>In this episode we’ll talk about:</p><ul><li>The Black Lives Matter Movement and its impact on teaching</li><li>Disrupting Systems / Unlearning</li><li>Current state of educators in COVID</li><li>COVID exposing inequities</li><li>Cambridge Rindge and Latin’s Black Student Union</li><li>Advice to teachers</li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Resources and Links</strong></p><p>Follow Kevin Dua <a href="https://twitter.com/kevindua" target="_blank">on Twitter</a></p><p>Check out Kevin’s <a href="https://linktr.ee/kevindua" target="_blank">resources on Anti-Racism.</a></p><p>Read an interview with Kevin Dua in the<a href="http://homenewshere.com/daily_times_chronicle/news/reading/article_528e9fca-e0e2-11ea-ab7d-57408bafbe3b.html" target="_blank"> Daily Times Chronicle </a></p><p><a href="https://failuretodisrupt.com/" target="_blank">Check out Justin Reich’s new book!</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Transcript</strong></p><p><a href="https://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/kevin-dua/transcript" target="_blank">https://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/kevin-dua/transcript</a></p
