Can you believe this? In the middle of Black History Month, no less.

Roselyn

That's ridiculous! Who would forget? We've been hearing about nothing else since January 1st. This person must be clueless or just plain ignorant.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
like some people say “white history month”
Roselyn
4/1/2024
That's even worse! Ignorance isn't an excuse for racism, and it's especially offensive during a time when we're supposed to be celebrating and honoring our history. We need to report this incident to the teacher or school administrator.
Duquinde

alright let’s do it now
Roselyn

Roselyn gathers her belongings and walks confidently towards the teacher's desk. She waits in line, ready to express her concerns. Excuse me, Mrs. Johnson. I couldn't help but overhear some inappropriate comments made by one of the students during Black History Month. Is this really acceptable behavior in your classroom? Mrs. Johnson: taken aback Oh, um... I apologize if anything inappropriate was said. Can you please inform me of the exact comments made?
Duquinde
4/1/2024
I listen to what’s going on
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Of course, Mrs. Johnson. The student referred to Black History Month as "White History Month" and made several racist remarks targeting a classmate of ours. This kind of behavior is not only disrespectful, but it also creates a hostile and unwelcoming environment for students of color in our classroom. Mrs. Johnson: sincerely I am truly sorry to hear that this happened. Racism and discrimination have no place in our school, and I will address this immediately. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Roselyn.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
Alright so what happens next?
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Well, first Mrs. Johnson will speak with the student who made the racist comments and make it clear that such behavior will not be tolerated. She may also choose to involve the school administration or have a conversation with the parents of the student involved. Additionally, I think it would be beneficial for all of us to have a discussion about the importance of respecting diversity and promoting inclusivity in our classroom.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
okay sounds good
Roselyn
4/1/2024
I agree, Duquinde. It's essential that we address this issue promptly and take steps to create a more inclusive and respectful environment for everyone. Let's plan a classroom activity that promotes diversity and unity. Perhaps we can have a discussion about the significance of Black History Month and how it relates to our own experiences and backgrounds. We could also explore ways to celebrate and honor different cultures throughout the year.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
yeah because some students might know very well and others might know none at all
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Exactly, Duquinde. It's crucial that we educate ourselves and others about different cultures and histories. By doing so, we can break down stereotypes and prejudices and foster greater understanding and respect.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
oh yea
Roselyn
4/1/2024
It's also important to create opportunities for students to share their own experiences and stories. This can help build empathy and connections among classmates. Perhaps we can invite a guest speaker or organize a cultural fair where students can showcase their heritage and traditions. By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and supportive community within our classroom.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
Sounds like a great idea, Roselyn. You're really passionate about this, aren't you?
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Yes, Duquinde. This issue hits very close to home for me. Growing up, I faced racism and discrimination firsthand, and it made me realize the importance of standing up against prejudice and promoting inclusivity. I want to ensure that no one else has to go through what I did, and that's why I'm so determined to make a difference in our classroom and school.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
sounds good
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Before we proceed, there's something I'd like to share with the class. Roselyn takes a deep breath, gathers her courage, and looks into the eyes of her classmates. Each one of you has a unique background and story that deserves to be heard and respected. As we embark on this journey of promoting diversity and inclusivity, I want you all to remember that your voices matter, and your experiences are valid. Let's work together to create a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
Okay, Roselyn. I think your words really resonated with everyone. So, what's next on the agenda?
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Now that we've laid the foundation for our classroom community, it's essential that we continue to engage in discussions and activities that promote inclusivity and respect. One way to do this is by exploring different cultural traditions and practices. We could invite guest speakers to share their experiences and insights, or we could plan field trips to local cultural centers or festivals. Additionally, we could incorporate diverse literature and media into our curriculum to provide different perspectives and representations. By doing so, we can work towards breaking down barriers and fostering greater understanding among all students.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
Alright, I'm all ears. How do you suggest we start this journey?
Roselyn
4/1/2024
First, we should create a safe and open space for everyone to share their thoughts and feelings. This can be achieved through regular class discussions, anonymous surveys, or even a suggestion box. It's crucial that students feel comfortable expressing themselves and sharing their experiences without fear of judgment or retaliation. Once we establish this foundation of trust and openness, we can begin exploring different cultures and traditions together, and work towards creating a more inclusive and accepting environment for all.

OK I like it!
Roselyn

Roselyn raises her hand and excitedly speaks up. Ms. Johnson, I have an idea for our first cultural exploration!
Duquinde
4/1/2024
I raise my hand
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Thank you, Ms. Johnson. I propose that we invite a local African American historian to come in and talk to the class about the rich history and contributions of African Americans.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
she then writes it down
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Roselyn leans in closer to Duquinde, speaking in a hushed tone. Duquinde, I really believe this will be a powerful experience for our class.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
right!
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Thank you, Ms. Johnson. I have another suggestion for our class. How about we organize a volunteer trip to a local community center or food bank?
Duquinde
4/1/2024
writes it down sounds good ms.johnson
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Roselyn exchanges a satisfied smile with Duquinde, knowing that their efforts are starting to bear fruit. She stands up, tucking her hair behind her ear. Thank you both for considering my suggestions.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
don’t mention it!
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Roselyn clears her throat and looks around the room with determination. Class, we have a lot of work ahead of us, but I believe in each and every one of you. I know that together, we can create a more inclusive and accepting environment for all students. Let's get started by brainstorming some ideas for our first cultural exploration. Please share your thoughts and suggestions.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
listens
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Roselyn scans the room, looking for any hesitant or quiet students. She spots a timid girl in the back corner and walks over to her. Hi there. Are you feeling comfortable sharing your ideas?
Duquinde
4/1/2024
listens and writes things down
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Roselyn crouches down to meet the girl's eye level, maintaining a warm and encouraging smile. Hi, I'm Roselyn. It's okay if you're feeling nervous.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
…
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Roselyn extends her hand towards the girl. Why don't you join us at the front? We're having a discussion about our first cultural exploration. Your voice matters, and we want to hear what you have to say.
Duquinde
4/1/2024
The girl hesitates, then slowly nods and stands up, following Roselyn to the front of the class.
Roselyn
4/1/2024
Roselyn leads the girl to the front of the classroom, guiding her to a comfortable spot near the discussion area. She introduces the girl to Duquinde and the other students, then gestures for her to share her thoughts and ideas. "This is Maria. She's one of our classmates who wants to contribute to our discussion on cultural exploration. Let's give her a warm welcome and listen attentively to her ideas." Maria: nervously clears her throat Um, hi everyone. I think...
Duquinde

Roselyn smiles warmly at Maria, encouraging her to continue. Go on, Maria. We're all here to listen and learn from each other.
