THEY HAVE BECOME SO EMBOLDENED THEY DONT EVEN HIDE THEIR TRUE INTENTIONS. CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING IS THE NEWEST BUZZWORD FOR CRT THAT EVERY PARENT SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR. “The ‘Beautiful Struggle’ of Culturally Responsive Teaching”

HOA NGUYEN: With social justice teaching at the core of Textured Teaching, you write early in the book that social justice tends to be a vague term. How would you define it?

LORENA GERMÁN: Social justice has become this buzzword all over the place and certainly in education. Anything now can be called social justice, and that’s not accurate because it is just justice at the societal level. To me, social justice is working toward a redistribution of resources, opportunities, wealth, and power that promotes equity.
