Turns out, it’s only policy makers who get stressed when students talk about race. None of the 67 students in this highschool study reported increased stress when participating in an anti-racist intervention while many reported growth in awareness of social inequality.

This is the first real data I’ve seen on this topic and it appears, once again, that the fears of harming students is just a boogeyman in the minds of right-wing politicians.
