Why is garbage like this still being published? This is from the newest edition of Nurse as Educator. It is the textbook for a course I am teaching (not selected by me). This is the section on teaching Black/AA people. 1/

First question - why do white nurses feel they need to have a section on how to teach “others”. What makes them think non white cis hetero folx learn differently and need special “strategies” ? Wait, I know - racism, bigotry, and white supremacy. 2/

Check out how stereotypes are perpetuated in this list of strategies. These stereotypes are not limited to Black folx. There are sections for other racialized groups, disabled, and LGBTQ folx too. 3/

2nd question - Assuming there was a need to describe strategies for educating specific populations, why would someone who is not a part of that population write that section? Wait, white supremacy again. 4/

3rd question - does anyone wonder why nursing is 80% white when the books we use to teach nursing education are filled with racist and biased information that marginalize “diverse” students? 5/

4th question - WTF am I supposed to do with this book in my class? Now I have to try to dispel all of this garbage while also trying to teach nurses to be educators. I should not have to develop resources to fix the book. 5/

@JBL_Nursing this is not acceptable. I sincerely hope this is addressed in the next edition.
