BLM Week in Philly Classrooms: A Philadelphia School District teachers group is encouraging schools to make this "Black Lives Matter Week" in classrooms across the city of brotherly love. The group's goal is to have teachers introduce lessons which "validate our students' experiences, referring to "negative experiences with police officers." Kristen A. Graham of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that while some teachers believe the racial police narrative is "a critical issue of our time" and that "It's important for us to dive in," others think that the BLM message has no place in Philadelphia classrooms. One high school English teacher told reporters "I don't think kids should be taught that Western society is perpetrating a war on black people." The lessons are not mandatory and they are not sponsored by the school system. It has been left up to individual teachers whether or not to participate and what form their participation will take.
