#Repost @teaching_tolerance with @get_repost ・・・ Today—on Dr. Seuss's birthday and the first day of Read Across America week—we're asking educators to think critically about how they use Seuss's work in the classroom. 📚 Visit our story to find an article article from TT Program Associate Gabriel Smith that offers guidance on how to talk about Seuss with your students and recommendations for what to teach instead. The article includes information on and a link to a study of work by Dr. Seuss from researchers Katie Ishizuka and Ramón Stephens. They examined 50 children’s books and 2,200 characters created over Theodore Seuss Geisel’s nearly 70-year career “to evaluate the claims that his children’s books are anti-racist.” 📚 "We have to recognize that two things can be true at the same time: Dr. Seuss is a prolific children’s book author and global icon. And Dr. Seuss has a history of racial baggage that educators should understand when introducing his writing to their students," Smith writes. 📚 “You don’t have to burn your favorite Thing One shirt or get rid of all of your Dr. Seuss books or cut Green Eggs and Ham from your diet (unless you just really want to). However, we all need to be willing to explore the things that shape the young minds of our students—and be willing to change our own minds when presented with new truths, even if they might not always be comfortable to process."
