#FergusonSyllabus.

It’s the way many educators across the nation communicated Monday night in the wake of the Ferguson grand jury decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown.

Educators talked about bringing up racism in America in their classrooms, and bemoaned how to explain to students this “injustice.”

They Tweeted out progressive curricula. They spoke of anger and pain. They prepped for their lesson plans.

Here’s a taste of what students in kindergarten through college may get Tuesday as the nation awakens to a post-Ferguson world:
