An Open Letter to GUSD: Educate Your Students on Racial Injustice

The Issue

PLEASE READ THE FULL LETTER HERE

As GUSD alumni, we feel we did not receive an acceptable education on historical and contemporary racial injustice. In this letter, we discuss the responsibility of the district to educate its students on this topic, offer resources to do so, and demand change.

Members of the GUSD community- please sign and share! Contribute to local change.

 

EDIT 06/03: I was informed that there are more recent California state standards available than the ones from 1998 hyperlinked in the letter, available here. Also, a few people have asked to use this letter as a template for letters to their own schools or districts- please do so!!
