Casual Racism in Schools: Stop The Slow Poison Killing Culture

Описание: Casual racism is the silent epidemic killing school culture. It doesn't show up as overt hate, but as subtle jokes, group chat comments, and nicknames that no teacher ever hears. This episode dives into the overlooked threat that teaches students of color, "you don't really belong here."

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
✅The difference between overt racism and subtle "casual racism" (and why it's more dangerous).
✅The alarming statistic that seven in 10 students of color experience racial teasing from peers.
✅The real cost of silence: low attendance, eroded trust in staff, increased anxiety, and internalised shame.
✅Why we must teach students to prioritize Impact over Intent when addressing racial remarks.
✅Simple, non-confrontational language to empower students to become upstanders and interrupt racism.
✅How to implement educational consequences (restorative conversations, diversity workshops) instead of just detentions.
