Want to Read $ 10.99"To raise an antiracist is to raise a critical thinker. And to raise a critical thinker is to raise an antiracist."-Ibram X. Kendi, How to Raise an Antiracist
"Caregivers must model a critical home, a critical classroom, a critical community, for kids to defy and question everything that’s questionable."-Ibram X. Kendi, How to Raise an Antiracist
"Literacy is not an end. Literacy should be taught as a means to critical thinking. Knowledge isn't an end. Knowledge is a means to critical thinking. The smartest student is not the student who is the most literate, or who knows the most. The smartest student has the greatest desire to know—to know all the facts and perspectives of human life and of the world."-Ibram X. Kendi, How to Raise an Antiracist
"Instead of calling these IB and AP courses "gifted" classes, I call them privileged classes. The students in the classes are privileged. Colleges give preferential treatment to students who take these classes. These classes are not offered at all or in full in some schools. Others have a full slate of IB or AP classes. Many IB programs require letters of recommendation, allowing eligibility to hinge on teachers' assumptions and expectations of students. Depending on their race, students aren't just steered away from them, they are also steered toward them."-Ibram X. Kendi, How to Raise an Antiracist
