Since the coronavirus crisis began in Wuhan, China, Asian and Asian American students have faced an increase in discrimination on U.S. campuses, as their classmates misplace blame for the pandemic.

You Matter: Essential Home Daycare Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic

As a former early childhood teacher and current associate professor of early childhood education, I am concerned, to put it mildly, about essential education professionals being overlooked or discounted in discussions and policies for P-12 teachers and brick and mortar schools.

I suspect the need has increased since this health pandemic, and those in dire need are families who live in poverty and the working poor, a disproportionate percentage of whom are Black and Latinx.

The Allure of Assimilation

I know ethnic nationalists. We all do. Some of them are unassuming in the sense of being modest even as they assuming in the sense of dividing the world and its inhabitants. For them, geography and borders are demarcated by ancestry and bloodlines. By their definition of belonging, only natives qualify as kith and kin. As a Chinese American, I feel vulnerable right now because of the anger toward China. If I insist, as I do, that I am an American, I doubt I am convincing.
