'We also are combating a different kind of disease.'
Vera Ahiyya is a kindergarten teacher, and amid the challenges of remote learning, she has made videos for the students at her school in Brooklyn, NY. Passionate about teaching kids the joys of reading — she's, to the 5-year-olds in her class this week. Then, she realized how important it was to reach so many more 5-year-olds.
"We also are combating a different kind of disease. This is not the disease that you catch from germs, but it's something that happens with the way that people think." "We also are combating a different kind of disease," she said."This is not the disease that you catch from germs, from person to person, but it's something that happens with the way that people think. And some people have the belief that people with black or brown skin should not have the same rights or privileges as people with white skin. This is called racism."
"Racism is everywhere, and it is our job to stop it," Vera said."One way to stop racism is to call it out when you see it. That means if you see someone being treated differently because of the color of their skin, you have the voice. You make the choice to say, 'this is wrong.'"She continued:"You can decide to say something or walk away, but your choice can impact the lives of a lot of people.
