Justice for Native Students in Riverside Unified School District

Last month, a Native American student in Riverside, California courageously recorded and shared a video of disturbing racist behavior of their teacher. While the Riverside Unified School District has responded to the incident after a video of the offensive behavior went viral on social media and caused a public protest, there is evidence that this teacher has engaged in such behavior in the classroom for nearly a decade without reproach.

Riverside Unified School District is systematically ignoring, erasing, and failing Native American students. The harms generated by one racist teacher are just a small piece of a much larger picture of much larger systemic racism and harm.

Call the School District TODAY and urge them to take bold action by making a commitment to support the educational programs for Native Students and families and that they consult with local tribes in these areas, as well as parents and youth.
