Our Commitments to the Community

Lessonface is committed to fostering an online community in which students, teachers, and staff from all backgrounds can interact and learn.

Racism in all its forms is antithetical to this commitment. Racism is harmful and dehumanizing and has adverse effects on our community. We recognize that the effects of racism are caused not only by the isolated actions of individuals, but also by the policies and practices of institutions.

Lessonface is committed to creating an environment that respects the dignity and civil rights of all persons, particularly those from groups that have experienced discrimination and persecution. 

This requires that we work to improve listening and enhance empathy, at both personal and institutional levels.

We are constantly reminded that more work needs to be done to achieve racial equity. 

We invite your comments as we continue on this journey to mgmt@lessonface.com.

With thanks and acknowledgement to Reed College, Iowa State, and other's Diversity statements, from which we drew, and with our own modifications, created this statement.
