Disability Critical Race Studies (DisCrit) for Inclusion in Early Childhood Education: Ethical Considerations of Implicit and Explicit Bias 

This article explores the ethical obligation of those in the early care and education field to deconstruct ableism (and other–isms, such as racism, sexism, classism) and to reconstruct an understanding of social identity that is strengths-based and affirming. The authors describe the Dis/ability Studies and Critical Race Theory (DisCrit) framework of understanding ableism and provide examples of potential solutions for early childhood providers to explore the role of bias in inclusion practices and deconstruct dis/ability to enact systemic change for young children with dis/abilities and their families.

Resources for educators of Muslim students experiencing Islamophobia 

Anti-Muslim sentiment and hate crimes have reached an all-time high. The recent executive order banning nationals from seven Muslim-majority nations bears a frightening parallel to the Chinese Exclusion Act and calls us to never forget the glaring injustice of Japanese American internment during WWII. This Islamophobia is not new, though how brazen people feel in explicitly embracing Islamophobic attitudes and policies does feel different. Muslims across racial lines are sharing their stories, speaking to how they are experiencing this current moment at the intersections of their identities, and calling us all to take action. 

And our Muslim students have been and continue to feel the impact. Our attentiveness to school climate is of the utmost importance now and always. We need to pay attention to the messages we are sending all of our students and ensure that our Muslims students are respected, supported, and heard. Below are resources and suggestions for teachers to leverage now: 

-Work to debunk stereotypes about Muslims and Islam with a lesson from Teaching Tolerance, a Scholastic Junior article, “Do We Look Like Terrorists to You?”, or by talking through this student-friendly article on misconceptions about Islam. 

- Check out this collection of classroom resources from the University of Edinburgh and take a look at these curricular resources from the Islamic Networks Group. 

- Listen and watch recorded webinars on Supporting Muslim Students (for parents) and Teaching about Islam. 

- Check out this comprehensive list of resources and community organizations working to end the bullying and harassment of Muslim, Arab, Sikh, and South Asian students 

- Get involved in national and local organizations advocating for Muslims. For example: 

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) 

Muslim Advocates 

Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) 

Inner-city Muslim Action Network (IMAN) 

Mpower Change 

MuslimARC 

Remember that even small acts can provide affirmation and hope or the opportunity to stop and consider your feelings and beliefs about Muslims and Islam. 

Bringing the Discussion Into the Classroom: Instruction-specific resources 

How Anti-Muslim Sentiment Plays Out in Classrooms Across the US - Ghazala Irshad, The Guardian (December 21, 2015). “The CAIR survey found that the sentiment that teachers don’t take Islamophobia seriously is shared by a majority of Muslim American students, and it goes beyond the typical adolescent fear of being labeled a tattle-tale.” 

Anti-Muslim Bigotry and Being an Ally – Anti-Defamation League. Designed for middle and high school classrooms, “[t]his lesson provides an opportunity for students to learn more about these incidents, reflect on the connection between these anti-Muslim acts of bigotry and the misunderstandings and stereotypes about Muslim people, and identify ways they can be allies in the face of bias and discrimination.” 

Combating Anti-Muslim Bias – Teaching Tolerance. Good article that contains ideas for teachers of all grades to incorporate tolerance lessons into their classes.
