I'm not a teacher, and I'm not black, but may I suggest letting white kids understand about "The Talk?"
Well that would require parents to hold their government accountable to educating. Taxes would have to go up and spending on programs that don't directly benefit "you" as well.
Also, social norms for your times will be questioned. It will be uncomfortable but open dialogue will make it easier. This will also lead into uncovering some horrible things in our past or communities. You're not responsible, hopefully? Lol But it will help understand how some people are oppressed and our system may need to be reviewed. That will include looking at our judicial system. No one wants to get rid of it but instead make it work for everyone, the same way.
Once we understand all this, then other groups of people may underatand why POC fear interacting with sociaty.
Also, we are teachers not sub-parents. We need to work together to guide young people in a better future for everyone.
I was thinking just letting them know about it in general, not telling it to them. I'm just remember when a black friend of mine told me about that and it really blew my young mind. No one had made it clear to me that Officer Friendly wasn't Officer Friendly to him or why that was.
Me, I made it clear to my daughter that the cops are no one's friends, but being white, they'll be more lenient on us and why that is racist and wrong.
