Understanding and Recognizing White Supremacy Culture
Understanding and Recognizing White Supremacy Culture
"White supremacy culture is the idea (ideology) that white people and the ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions of white people are superior to People of Color and their ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
White supremacy culture is reproduced by all the institutions of our society. In particular the media, the education system, western science (which played a major role in reinforcing the idea of race as a biological truth with the white race as the "ideal" top of the hierarchy), and the Christian church have played central roles in reproducing the idea of white supremacy (i.e. that white is "normal," "better," "smarter," "holy" in contrast to Black, Indigenous, and other People and Communities of Color." -https://www.dismantlingracism.org/white-supremacy-culture.html
Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture
Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture
"While white supremacy culture affects us all, harms us all, and is toxic to us all, it does not affect, harm, and violate us in the same way. White supremacy targets and violates BIPOC people and communities with the intent to destroy them directly; white supremacy targets and violates white people with a persistent invitation to collude that will inevitably destroy their humanity."

Understanding and Recognizing Settler Colonialism
Settler colonialism is defined as a form of colonization in which outsiders come to land inhabited by Indigenous peoples and claim it as their own. Coloniality refers to the control and management of knowledge by 'universals' of Western modernity, Eurocentrism and global capitalism.

What is Restorative Justice?
What is Restorative Justice?
“Restorative justice in education is holistic, requiring more than a set of skills or practices, but rather a belief that all people are worthy and relational and a desire to nurture relationships that are built on respect, dignity, and mutual concern.
Additionally, rje centres justice and equity and the intentional work of dismantling oppression in all of its forms, including but not limited to white supremacy, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, classism, and sexism.
As such, for rje to address the complexities of school culture (i.e, relationships, curricular decisions, school discipline, etc.), it must first be grounded in a commitment to nurturing just learning communities, addressing and repairing harm (in all of its forms), embracing conflict as potentially transformative, and committing to our mutual well-being as humans.”
