 "The concept of anti-racist teaching is being fiercely debated right now. Its advocates insist that students learn about the roots of racial inequality, that they be encouraged to name and challenge it explicitly. Critics suggest that anti-racist teaching is dogmatic, unpatriotic, and an impediment to critical thinking. They have, in recent weeks, irresponsibly clumped together anti-racist teaching, critical race theory, ethnic studies, and anything else involving the systematic study of race and racism, painting them as one heap of race-talk mumbo jumbo. Lost in the discourse on both sides, however, is the acknowledgment that Black teachers, as early as the 19th century, have been deeply engaged in the work of challenging racial domination in American schools. The traditions of African American teachers provide the country with a model, a vital intellectual resource for more nuanced conversations about the place and possibility of anti-racism in the classroom.”

Climate change is happening now and it's primarily a result of human activity. The U.S. average temperature increased by over 2°F, and most of this increase has occurred since 1970. Temperatures are projected to rise another 2°F to 4°F in most areas of the U.S. over the next few decades. The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide have increased to levels unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years.

We are grateful for the Mystery Artist who drew 150 plus pictures of members and friends of RUCC.

If you are one of those persons and you would like for the Mystery Artist to draw your picture, please let Pastor Jill know by June 13^th . Please send a photo of yourself to pastorjill@redlandsucc.org. We want to make sure that everyone is included.

“Laurie Frankel's This Is How It Always Is is a book about revelations, transformations, fairy tales, and family. And it's about the ways this is how it always is: Change is always hard and miraculous and hard again; parenting is always a leap into the unknown with crossed fingers and full hearts; children grow but not always according to plan. And families with secrets don't get to keep them forever.”- Amazon Review
