Is it okay to discuss politics in class?

In this timely collection, Delpit addresses the pressing challenges teachers face today. Drawing on the wisdom of renowned educators and dynamic principals, the book offers guidance on navigating difficult topics in K-12 classrooms. Contributors include Pedro Noguera and Carla Shalaby, who provide essential insights on safety; William Ayers and Mica Pollock, who share ideas on political engagement; and Christopher Emdin, who emphasizes the importance of connecting with Black and Brown students. Hazel Edwards discusses creating safe spaces for transgender and gender-nonconforming students, while James W. Loewen offers suggestions for exploring Southern symbols. Additionally, Bill Bigelow addresses teaching about the climate crisis and the students advocating for environmental justice. This urgent collection resonates with educators seeking to teach young people to engage across perspectives, fostering a just and caring world.
