Mary Beth Tinker Zoom Call Hosted by Mr. Aimone and SJW at Assembly Period

SJW in collaboration with Mr. Aimone have invited a speaker Mary Beth Tinker to participate in a Zoom call with all Lab HS students but parents and faculty are encouraged to attend if they wish. ​Mary Beth Tinker is an American free speech activist known for her role in the 1969 Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District Supreme Court case, which established limited freedom of speech protections for students. She will speak about what it was like to bring a case to the Supreme Court when she was only thirteen years old and her lifetime of activism around free speech and students rights.

I'm white and I want to be an anti-racist. How do I do that? Hosted by WARE (White Anti-Racist Educators)

Building on a theme of anti-racist acts, we'll explore what it means to be a white anti-racist. We'll discuss experiences and vignettes where as I white person it was hard to speak up, but in retrospect, we should've said something. We'll discuss how and when our white privilege makes us blind to the institutional racism that our black and brown peers experience daily. We'll talk about how to show up for friends and neighbors, embarking on a "Hey! That's not okay campaign."
