In March of 2020, a global pandemic that had been slowly creeping its way towards the US finally imploded. Parents of school-age children soon found themselves thrust into the role of teacher—in more ways than one. Not only did they take on the new and overwhelming responsibilities of remote school supervision, but after the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing protests, many parents also grappled with the responsibility to teach their kids about social justice—with few, if any, resources to guide them. In Social Justice Parenting, Dr. Traci Baxley—a professor of education who has spent 30 years teaching diversity and inclusion, race identity, and anti-bias training—will offer the essential guidance and curriculum these parents have been searching for. Dr. Baxley, a mother of five herself, suggests that parenting is a form of activism. She encourages parents to think of their homes as headquarters for their own mini-movements. Dr. Baxley posits that while children have a keen sense of what is and isn’t fair, they look to their parents for guidance; parents, often unsure if or when it’s appropriate to talk to their children about issues like racism, sexism, homophobia, or other discrimination, tend to avoid such conversations. In Social Justice Parenting, parents will learn to worry less about protecting their children from troubling issues and instead focus on preparing them for the injustices of the world, empowering them with tools that allow them to self-advocate, empathize with others, and become agents for change. Importantly, Dr. Baxley also teaches parents how to do the work of recognizing and reconciling their own biases. So often, she suggests, parents make choices based on what’s best for their child or children, versus what’s best for all children in their community—a critical distinction. Dr. Baxley helps readers take inventory of their actions and beliefs, develop self-awareness and accountability, and become role models for raising anti-racist kids. Poised to become essential reading for all parents committed to social change, Social Justice Parenting will offer parents everywhere the opportunity to nurture a future generation of humane, compassionate individuals.
