I really enjoyed your article and look forward to the series. The poster is a fantastic way of showing a common ground between so many different religions.

How fascinating. Maybe that’s why it’s the “golden” rule – no matter what you believe, there is a version of it!

If you choose to do so, I think adding a disclosure would suffice. I believe when we see something that challenges us, it gives us a great opportunity to encourage dialogue and deeper understanding:) I always tried to share tools and strategies with my students that helped them detect bias – it’s a real world skill.

In reply to Navjot. That is so unfortunate that they did not get counsel from someone of the Sikh faith- I think I will add in a disclosure above the film. Or do you think I should remove the media since it is inaccurate??

I look forward to following this series Becky!
Given the current passionate debate around the lack of diversity in children’s literature, I’d like to provide some feedback on the video clip above. When we (especially educators) choose to include a diverse, equitable and inclusive perspective through any kind of media, it is essential to promote authentic images to encourage informed dialogue. I love the premise of this video but the imagery is inaccurate as far as the Sikh faith. It is unfortunate that companies such as the one who produced this video do not seem invested in authenticity but instead, in tokenism. I intend to reach out to Hallmark and share my thoughts so they have an opportunity to grow.
