Episode 4 (Pt. 1)- Curriculum Karens: Inside the Battle Over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion In Our Schools
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the world of education and the increasing pushback against diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools. Our guests share their experiences with "Curriculum Karens," parents who bully and intimidate educators over curriculum choices that include diverse perspectives.
We discuss how to create an equitable and inclusive classroom while still following curriculum guidelines and the importance of accurate resources that include diverse voices and perspectives. Our guests, two expert social studies teachers (along with our ELA teacher host) offer unfiltered talk about the challenges they face in promoting inclusivity and equity in their classrooms and how they have navigated difficult conversations with parents and administrators.
We explore the role of education in promoting social justice and the importance of acknowledging and addressing systemic inequalities in our schools. This episode is a must-listen for educators and anyone interested in creating a more equitable and inclusive world. Join us for an eye-opening and informative conversation about the challenges and opportunities in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in our schools.
