What Would YOU Do? Episode 3: Walling Out or Welcoming In?
Our third episode explores the challenges posed by divisive political rhetoric for school classrooms and communities. Educators and parents of a School Culture Committee (SCC) at a K-8 school wrestle with a series of events that challenged their ability to maintain inclusive learning environments that are welcoming to all students. The SCC must determine where and how to draw boundaries between free political speech and offensive or harmful speech that qualifies as bullying or harassment. What boundaries should a school set on student speech, if any, in order to foster social-emotional learning, civil discourse, and friendship among students? How might they hold themselves and their students accountable for upholding school values, even when they are not reflected on the national political landscape? -- ABOUT “What Would You Do” is our new video podcast series created in partnership with EdEthics of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Each episode consists of 1. a realistic conversation among adults in a school, played by professional actors, who are faced with a complex ethical decision, and 2. a discussion in real time, facilitated by Harvard professor Dr. Meira Levinson.
