Socioeconomic status and classism are not typically topics discussed in schools, communities or society. In fact, social class is often hidden and is a “taboo” subject. However, social class is an important aspect of identity and classism manifests among individuals and institutions in a myriad of ways, causing harm and injustice. This lesson provides an opportunity for students to learn and understand what socioeconomic status and classism are, explore how classism shows up in societal institutions and reflect on how classism can be addressed.
