Institutions of higher education have authority over academic content and learning environments, which confers responsibility on them to produce anti-racist curricula, policies, and standards of educational practice.Absent an understanding of historical and contemporary manifestations of the White supremacist campaign of terror and control of Black bodies, educators will fail to effectively address racialized hate speech. Racialized threats and tropes, which are figurative phrases that communicate racial hierarchy by terrorizing, disempowering, and/or dehumanizing the targeted person or group, constitute linguistic violence. Higher education institutions can address linguistic and symbolic violence by incorporating anti-racist curricula and standards of practice to educate community members about racism in all its forms. To understand the roots of a problem, one must develop a historical and particularized understanding of that problem.
