The Southern Poverty Law Center released a free instructional guide for teachers seeking to "manage their white fragility."

The guidelines, published by SPLC's "Teaching Tolerance" division, claim that educators of color are often "burdened" by anti-racist work because their white colleagues turn a blind eye to discrimination.

"We know we all live in the same society of racism and white supremacy," the guidelines read. "We know white educators have the privilege to ignore these conditions and often do.… While all educators of color carry the burden of white supremacy, Black teachers have even more weight placed on them."

The material encourages educators to follow anti-racist Twitter activists and to shun other teachers, faculty, and students who refuse "anti-bias, anti-racist" training, even if parents complain and staff members leave.
