Thanks for this! Not only did I feel the same way about racism “being over”, I largely internalized sexism to be over too. Thanks for helping explain why that might have been.
I’ve used Howard Zinn’s materials for years to bring marginalized perspectives to my social studies lessons. He’s written a number of books that are kid-friendly. My favorite is “A Young People’s History of the United States.”
I love your use of picture books!!
Great article in NEa magazine ! Thanks
Thanks Hoda 🥰

Me too! I was an anti-feminist in high school. Yikes
