I remember being in first grade and this white boy asked me why I wear “normal” clothes if I’m Indian and don’t Indians only wear feathers? So yes I do think first graders need more awareness about race
Also Sesame Street was made by a bunch of hippies that loved puppets and educators that were trying to reach in-city kids (particularly kids of color) who didn’t have access to good education resources.
Sesame Street has specifically addressed racism and other forms of socially oppressive orders since the beginning. Once again Rave Dubin is a moron.

I’ve already reblogged a link to this entire article by @crimethinc, but I wanted to highlight the excellent ‘resources’ section on its own as we approach the election. For an anarchist take on the current climate, a list of upcoming actions, and a dope-ass poster to print and distribute, please do check out the full article as well
Trump’s term is ending as it began, with a likelihood
of street conflict. The following guides offer a great deal of
information about how to participate in effective protests while
protecting yourself and your community.
Jail Support form from Rosehip Collective—Fill this out in advance of any event at which you might be arrested and leave it with your attorney or a support contact.
These four zines from the Rosehip Medic Collective include a range of useful information.
This collection
of resources that appeared shortly before Trump took office includes
more topical material, addressing non-violence, solidarity, white
supremacy, colonialism, patriarchy, capitalism, and more.
Five months have passed since the start of the George Floyd rebellion, and hundreds are facing trumped up charges and heavy prison time.
In this context, FBI contact and so-called “door knocks,” when FBI
agents visit people’s home or those of their loved ones, has increased.
Every possible outcome of the struggle over the 2020 election involves considerable risks. No matter how it occurs, a Trump victory would further polarize the country, radicalizing many liberals and leftists, but it would also likely lead to a tremendous amount of bloodshed and repression. If Biden wins the election in a landslide without significant resistance from Trump’s supporters, he will surely crack down on radicals and introduce policies that are oppressive to poor, Black, brown, indigenous, and undocumented people in order to placate the right-wing forces with whom he hopes to re-establish a truce. If Biden ends up in office thanks chiefly to the efforts of social movements in the street, it could discourage him from immediately cracking down on them, but this path involves passing through a very dangerous period of open conflict in which victory is by no means guaranteed.
And regardless of what happens between now and January, social polarization in the United States will continue to deepen. A large segment of the Republican Party is openly and perhaps irrevocably committed to a program of brute force, and they will still be pursuing this strategy regardless of who holds power in February.
Our latest podcast episodes are out now. This time we’ve produced a double episode about green bans by building workers in Australia from 1970 to 1975 which held up billions of dollars of development which would have been harmful to the environment, or working class and Aboriginal communities. They also won better pay and conditions, and fought for women’s and LGBT+ rights. Currently available for early listening for our patreon supporters.
