Black educators need time off to cope with the killings of black individuals, even those they are not in any way related to or have any connection to, according to one professor.
Professor Angel Jones, who teaches educational leadership courses at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, said that black educators need time off to grieve the killings of black individuals.
“Some may have thought I was joking when I mentioned Black bereavement leave, but I wasn’t,” she wrote in Times Higher Education. “We need space and time to grieve without having to explain or defend it. And since the grief process, like the Black community, is not a monolith, flexibility is required.”
