Bank Street Statement on US-Mexico Border Conditions for Children and Families

Bank Street College of Education is dedicated to advancing the human rights of every person regardless of race, nation of origin, or documentation status. Drawing on our collective knowledge of children and our 100-year history as their advocates, Bank Street has released a public statement condemning the conditions in which children detained at the US-Mexico border are being held and offering our services in creating dedicated, developmentally appropriate learning and play spaces in which these children and families can begin to process the trauma inflicted upon them during their separation and detainment. We call on fellow educators to join us.
