Episode SummaryWhat happens when the message we teach young children doesn't match the reality many families live every day?In this episode of The Blackboard, Dr. Michelle DeJohnette talks with educator and abolitionist Ijumaa Jordan about why it's time to rethink the idea of police as "community helpers" in early childhood education. Together, they explore how children from different communities experience policing in very different ways—and why those experiences matter in our classrooms.They discuss what children learn through play, books, classroom visitors, and everyday conversations, and why educators have a responsibility to make space for honest, thoughtful discussions about safety, justice, and community. Rather than asking what we should remove from the curriculum, this conversation asks what we should teach instead.Whether you're an educator, parent, student, or community member, this episode will challenge familiar ideas and invite you to think differently about what it really means to help children feel safe.About the guestIjumaa Jordan (she/her) is an early education consultant, and has worked across the work lattice of Early Childhood Education as a classroom educator, outdoor playgroup facilitator, college instructor, and various administrative positions.
