Hump day food for thought. An important reminder when we think about what characteristics we value in our students.

Our most comprehensive work on the racism in Dr. Seuss's children's books was published TODAY in the journal of Research on Diversity in Youth Literature!!
🌱
We document 7 decades of racism in Seuss's published works and debunk the myth that he "changed", "apologized", or that any of his work can be considered "antiracist". We break down the racial bias implications of using his work with young children and how using his books to teach "anti-racism" perpetuates white supremacy. Almost every book and biography on Seuss's work to-date has been done by white researchers. As scholars of color, this article is unique in that it is written by members of groups Seuss explicitly degraded and dehumanized across his hundreds of racist works. We also write from our positionality as scholar-parents of children of color, and discuss how that informs our work and advocacy--not only a personal level, but a national policy level. 🌱
This is a great article to circulate to teachers, administrators, and parents, especially if you are advocating for a change at your school. You can access a PDF of it for free via the link in our profile. Thank you for reading, sharing, and discussing--and thank you to RDYL for the opportunity and platform. 🌱
The mission of Research on Diversity in Youth Literature is to publish scholarship attending to issues of diversity, equity, social justice, inclusion, and intersectionality in youth literature, culture, and media.
A long-time sponsor of the @harryjeromeawards, we’re excited to have @td_canada join us again this year, in support of this event recognizing excellence within our community!
"If we’re going to do something differently in the 21st century than what was done in the 20th century, it’s going to take a whole lot more white people in everyday experiences to be anti-racist and to stand up for racial justice.” @khalil Read more at link in bio.
