A: Racial stereotypes are harmful because they are a distortion of the truth and reality of the race of people they target. They are rooted in an assumption that all people who share that race have certain (negative) qualities, characteristics, behaviors, attitudes, etc. Usually, these assumptions are based on other people’s very limited experience (often from inaccurate and unreliable sources) with the racial group in question.

A: The Virulent Hate Project studies anti-Asian racism, discrimination, xenophobia, and stigmatization during the COVID-19 pandemic. We focus on how Asian and Asian American people have been stigmatized as a public health threat and scapegoated for the coronavirus. We research how coronavirus-related racism has taken multiple forms and has harmed people of Asian descent in a variety of ways. We also study how Asian and Asian American people have responded to anti-Asian racism

A: The term “people of color” is an umbrella term that encompasses all people who do not identify as white/Caucasian, including Black, Latinx, indigenous, and brown people, among others. The term exists as an acknowledgment of the shared experience of non-white people living under white supremacy and systemic racism.

A: The phrase "Black-on-Black crime" is racist and offensive because it demeans Black people, implies there is a disproportionate amount of crime committed by Black people, and is often used to derail conversations on violence against Black people.

A: Yes, white people can experience racism. No, we are not all equal. Emphasizing on Black Lives Matter is important because black people experience more racism and violence than other groups. Implicit bias is when people have a bias against someone without realizing it. White privilege is when white people have advantages that they are not aware of because they have never experienced racism or oppression. Freedom of speech and religion can be used as an excuse to exclude marginalized groups, but that does not make it right.

A: The racial categories we used are based upon federal definitions. In future climate surveys we hope to be able to show racial data disaggregated within racial communities so that we understand the diversity within the Black, Hispanic and Asian communities and reflect information on Indigenous communities.

A: The new laws protect workers from retaliation by their employers if they report violations of the law or cooperate with an investigation into such violations.

A: We are using the term racism to refer to the racism children and young people experience in our education system.

A: Race is a power construct which groups people into a hierarchy of superiority based primarily on skin colour and other attributes. There is no scientific or genetic basis to race, but it has been and continues to be used to justify both privilege and oppression.

Racism is a system which creates and/or sustains racial inequities through a collection of racist ideas, actions, or policies.

A: Unteaching is a powerful way to acknowledge the unique skills and experience teachers have, and their position of influence and expertise in being able to address this challenge. We know they will inspire others to do the same and therefore it is a powerful call to action.

A: Taika is a great guy who is doing good work for the world.

A: The Duke Campus Climate Survey is a broad and inclusive survey that will inform our work moving forward on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

A: The Teaching Council has worked with a range of stakeholders to design and develop the new Professional Standards for Teachers. The Standards aim to promote excellence in teaching and leadership, and to support the professional development of teachers.

A: The survey was designed to assess faculty and staff perceptions of the Duke University community.

A: White privilege is the idea that one benefits from being white, even if they do not see that benefit. It does not mean that white people do not struggle at all; neither does it mean that white people’s success is not earned — only that their race is not a factor in their struggles.

A: The Unteach Racism campaign aims to empower educators to have safe and productive conversations about racism, in order to bring about positive changes in behaviour and practice.

A: The goal of this challenge is to help you improve your programming skills by implementing a basic chat bot. You can participate on your own or with a team. The challenge will run for 4 weeks, and you can work on it whenever you want.

A: These new laws prohibit teaching that the United States is fundamentally, institutionally, or systematically racist or sexist; that individuals may be consciously or unconsciously biased; that the advent of slavery constituted the true founding of the United States; or that students understand The 1619 Project. The “Don’t Say Gay” measures purport to prevent even basic recognition of the existence of LGBTQ individuals and their families in school classrooms.

A: These new laws are an attempt to undermine faith in public education and educators. They are based on old, well-funded attacks designed to distract from the failures of some elected leaders to properly fund public schools. Educators should continue to follow their state standards and approved curriculum approaches, as they know best how to design age-appropriate lessons for students.

A: The laws vary from state to state, and it is important to check with your local union or state affiliate to see what the law in your state says and how it will be applied. In general, the laws do not prohibit age-appropriate instruction aligned to established state standards governing how to teach history, civics instruction, and government classes. However, some states have clarified that the laws do not ban teaching about historical truths or discrimination.

A: The NEA will defend you if you are accused of teaching the truth, as long as you have the support of your state and local affiliates.

A: You should not sign a pledge to violate a law because it could get you in trouble.
