The seniors at Beech Grove High School outside Indianapolis watched Wednesday’s riot at the U.S. Capitol unfold on social media sites such as Twitter. As supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the building, the teens found themselves disappointed.

Disappointed in the rioters. Disappointed in the country’s political leaders. Disappointed in the law enforcement response and the double standard they saw in it. Disappointed in the media portrayal.

“There are a lot of double standards,” Guerrero said. “If that had been a different protesting group, would there have been a completely different reaction? Would there have been more force?”

Like teachers all over the country, Beech Grove government and politics teacher Lee Shively hosted the videoconference discussion Thursday to help students process the difficult news. It’s important, he said, to give them a venue to talk about what’s happening in the world around them.
“These kids care and they have an opinion,” he said, “and they want to talk about it.”

In Nashville, students had just resumed classes virtually Thursday — many still reeling from the Christmas Day bombing that rocked the city, as well as the other traumas related to the pandemic, school closures and racial unrest last year.
It’s important to acknowledge these events, as difficult as they may be, said Ashley Croft-Callery, principal of Nashville’s Inglewood Elementary School.
“We know that the impacts of traumas like these can be long-lasting and that strong relationships with a caring adult are the key to buffering the impacts of trauma and lowering anxiety for children,” Croft-Callery said. “Acknowledging difficult events doesn’t re-traumatize students. Rather, it empowers them with a safe space to process their reactions and have their voices heard.”
Witnessing ‘history’
Erica Kelley, a world history teacher at Orchard Knob Middle School in Chattanooga, began class Thursday asking her seventh graders, “How old does something have to be to be considered history?”
From there, the students talked about what they had heard about the mob at the nation’s Capitol, watched a short news clip and asked questions about the images they found online of officers deploying tear gas or lawmakers returning to the Senate chambers after the violence was quelled.

“The conversation was definitely student-led. I think that’s really important when we are having any discussion about current events, that they do the talking, not me,” Kelley said. “I tried really hard to make sure the way I presented any part of the lesson was that we really focused on facts.”
About half of Kelley’s students had heard about the mob violence, and some even drew parallels between the riot at the Capitol and demonstrations they’d seen take place across the country — and in their own city — after the death of George Floyd in 2020.
