Analysis | The first thing teachers should do when school starts is talk about hatred in America. Here’s help from The Washington Post
by Valerie Strauss (Washington Post, August 13, 2017)

An AntiRacism Theme has been surfacing before Charlottesville and death of Heather Heyer, a civil rights activist.

From Sojourners Magazine August 16, 2017
The violence in Charlottesville, VA, this weekend once again put America’s racism on full display. We, not just as Americans but as followers of Jesus, must pluck up hate by the roots and never let it take hold under any guise—neither “defending southern heritage” nor “making America great again.”

The Quest for Peace with Justice Has Consequences
by Sr. Anne-Louise Nadeau, SNDdeN (August 16, 2017)

From Pax Christi USA August 14, 2017
Charlottesville Statement: Silence is the Softer Voice of Racism
“The silence is insidious. It speaks racism softly, deceptively, and effectively. What are those of us across the United States, committed to peace with justice, doing about the perpetuation of violence all around us?”

From United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (August 2017)
Bishops Address The Sin of Racism
Bishop Murry, of Youngstown, talks with the media following this morning’s announcement that he will Chair the new Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism. For more information, see the News Release.
