Description:
Do you warn your children about how people might react to them; find store staff following or watching you; get stopped by the police for no reason? The students of color in your classroom experience discrimination every day, in small and large ways.
Review Quotes:
"Our schools too-often banish the unpopular, squirm in the presence of the unorthodox, hide the unpleasant. Much of what we call schooling forecloses or shuts down or walls off meaningful conversation, dialogue, and choice-making. There's little space for skepticism, irreverence, or doubt. While many of us long for teaching as something transcendent and powerful, we find ourselves too-often locked in situations that reduce teaching to a kind of glorified clerking, passing along a curriculum of received wisdom and predigested and generally false bits of information. This collection offers a means to disrupt and reconnect, and a way forward."
