This class will explore sensitive topics related to gender inequality, including sexism, harassment, and discrimination. Some content may be upsetting or triggering for some learners. It's important to note that while these topics are sensitive, they are also crucial for understanding and addressing gender inequality. Our goal is to create a safe and inclusive learning environment where students can ask questions and engage in meaningful discussions about these topics. We will be using age-appropriate language and ensuring that all viewpoints are respected. As the facilitator, I will be monitoring discussions to ensure that they are respectful and appropriate. If any student feels uncomfortable or overwhelmed, they will have the option to step away from the discussion or contact me privately. We understand that many families have different levels of comfort around certain subjects and we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all learners. We recommend parents review the course material and discuss any potential concerns with their children. If you have any concerns or questions about the sensitivity of the topics covered in this class, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. I am committed to creating a positive and supportive learning experience for all students.
