They need to show facts. They need to challenge the white supremacist philosophy
In 2016, a high school teacher asked me, "How do we teach history if kids in our class are expressing white nationalist talking points they get from home? Do we have to show both sides as teachers?" Sobering question. Here we are. You can't stay neutral anymore, folks.

White supremacy is not a philosophy - it's bs sophistry pushed by demogogues.

I experienced this one semester i taught at a PWI. My students were so well-versed in RW/Conservative/FoxNews talking points, it made the entire class one big challenge. Worst teaching experience I've ever had.

In my school white nationalism is the one we are warned about during safeguarding training. Absolutely scary times

As a history, geography and civics teacher I don't stay neutral on hate politics or anything that is hateful. I have had angry parents and students who have switched out. When I am on my deathbed I will die peacefully knowing I did the right thing.

I teach social work/social justice. During Obama years I played "both sides" a wee bit. Trump's election changed everything. No more both sides.

It’s a quintessential teaching moment. Chase down every talking point and what the problem is. It may feel dragged off topic for a bit but it will be well worth it in the long run. They can’t repeat them more than twice without you being able to say ‘we covered that’, move on.
