Anya, Grade 11, Studio City, CA Anya explains some of the powerful thinking behind her powerful #USvsHate message, a fall 2020 winner: The Coronavirus pandemic is reminding the Asian American community that their belonging is conditional. One moment we were Americans, the next we were contagious foreigners. Asian Americans have tirelessly persisted through oppression for years in the forms of alienization, otherization, discrimination, and racism, yet our struggle is overloo...ked and not acknowledged. Damaging stereotypes such as the model minority myth have caused Asian American struggles to be invalidated and unnoticed. Chinese Americans have historically struggled for their place in society ever since the Chinese Exclusion Act which was written to prevent Chinese Americans from succeeding. The anti-Chinese hate sentiment has since then continued to grow and is still reflected in modern day society. . . .As a mixed White and Chinese American, I have seen how ignorantly embedded Asian American hate is in our society and its values. We loved hearing Anya’s powerful counterspeech. Teacher Carlos Castellanos describes the teaching behind the message on the Fall 2020 winners page of usvshate.org. Submit your students' work for our Dec 11 deadline.

Twenty Climate Championsteacher leaders, youth leaders, scientists, and social scientistsare meeting weekly online to achieve a shared goal: to get more teaching, learning, and action on climate in San Diego County schools. The vast majority of teachers in California believe climate should be taught in schools, but less than half actually do. We want to make it easier for teachers to address the critical need for K-12 climate education, says Climate Champions project leader Nan Renner.
