We (Lydia Diaz and Naomi O’Brien) are a parent and an educator that care about what students all over the country and world are gaining from their public-school educations. It is our hope that this resource will help you advocate for not only your child/student, but on behalf of all of the students that attend your child/student’s school. Things won’t change if we aren’t willing to address them. We are a parent and an educator that care about what students all over the country and world are gaining from their public-school educations.

We truly hope that the topics, links, advice, and information presented in this resource leaves you feeling empowered to make a difference and bring about much needed change in many spaces.

Since we are asking educators/schools to change, we thought we could help them see what they could be doing instead of harmful books from a racist author.

We are including a slideshow for you to bring to a PTA meeting or to send to an educator to help share all of the research that we compiled.

We did the research, included links, and explained why the celebration of this author can be problematic and harmful.
